“I AM SO DOWN & DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!”
I understand how hurt you are, how miserable & down you’ve been and how it feels, because I’ve been there myself.
But I want you to think about a few things that I am going to share with you.
Read some of the following thoughts that helped me when I was going through a horrific time.
I want you to understand that I DID go through some familiar feelings & situations as you are now.
However, I found some things that I read & listened to that really kept me going & moving towards getting back up.
I know, you think I have no clue of what you’re going through, but you’re wrong.
That’s why I’m sharing these thoughts with you, because I have been there.
The things that have hurt you, broken your heart, made you cry with pain, grief & even rage, are the very same things that have made you more human & more compassionate.
When you have gone through these things yourself, survived them & made a complete turn around, you are more able to help lift others.
You may not realize or feel that now, but if you make yourself move forward towards getting back up, you will because you have that power.
We actually heal & get stronger faster by helping others by giving ourselves hope & believe in ourselves.
That’s the one thing we all desperately need & the most significant, life changing gift we can offer others – hope.
Most of the really interesting, compassionate and influential people in the world have faced major disappointments.
These outstanding leaders have had their hearts broken more that once, hear and march to that different drum & experienced devastating loneliness, despair and failure.
Not surprisingly, these are the same people creating beautiful art, music, dance & theater, who became deeply intuitive, generous & unconditional people.
They did not come back up by the power of money because they didn’t have any, they found their way back up, like I did, from their devastating experiences of hurt & loss one step at a time.
I’ve can’t express to you how important it is for you to just stop/pause & think, to remember what I am saying to you right now.

How to heal yourself
Abuse
Stop mentally abusing yourself.
Mistakes
Stop agonizing over your past mistakes and worrying about the future.
Anxiety
Life is hard enough without the added fear, panic & anxiety.
Encouragement
Your heart & soul is crying out for love & encouragement, listen to it & start feeding it by what you can start doing for yourself.
Responsibility
Don’t wait for someone to ‘rescue’ you, only you can do this, it’s easy to do, it costs NO money & you can start doing this today.
Compassion
How? First, take a moment to breathe & breathe deep, get present & find some compassion for yourself.
Reward
Go out & treat yourself right: pamper yourself & take care of yourself because no one can do that but you.
Happiness
You have to realize that true happiness lies within you.
Contentment
Don’t waste your time & energy looking for peace, contentment & ‘joy to the world’ outside, because it only comes from within yourself.
Giving
Just remember, there is no happiness in having or getting/receiving, there is only happiness in giving.
Splurging
Don’t fall for the cliche’ of “I’m going to go buy something for myself to help me feel better.”
No, that is selfish & trust me will only make you feel worse by spending more money.

BY THE WAY: Are you having challenges or struggling with things in you life, lost your job, out of money, recovery from injuries with bills coming in overwhelming you, grieving, down or depressed? I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there, it hurts, its terrifying & you have no clue where to turn.
I honestly have been through this myself. I was in a tragic accident last year & lost my job / income, my health & mobility. I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in & I was drowning in debt. Sound somewhat familiar?
Let me share with you what I did that literally saved my life. I’ve been able to completely turn my l life around, get back up, become more successful than ever before & financially free.
