Ever feel disappointed or overwhelmed? Yes, of course you have because life isn't easy for anyone. We will always have obstacles in our pathway and how we look at these obstacles helps keep us motivated and will reduce anxiety. If you are feeling overwhelmed or disappointed than you are looking at the obstacle as something negative or problem that can't be solved. This doesn't have to happen - we can look at our obstacles as positive things that happen in our lives that make us better - pushes us farther, and teaches us more.
I know your obstacle is something that is so big you can't overcome or your disappointment is so big that you may never heal. Let me assure you that you will overcome and heal from these obstacles even though you don't feel it right now.
Here's one thing you can do help this process. Think of the obstacle in your life that is causing you difficulty. Now, think of all the ways this obstacle can provide you with some positive aspects to your life. The obstacle can give you insight into something you need to change or improve. Your obstacle is there to help you become stronger and independent. These obstacles are not in your life to bring you down but to lift you up and be an active participant in your own life. These are not actually obstacles but instead they are opportunities for you to become the best person that you can be and help you actually have a better life.
If you are struggling with keeping your thoughts positive because you have negative thoughts taking over than stop them from happening. You actually do have the power to make them stop - when a negative thought comes to mind counter that thought with a positive one. It may be difficult at first but keep it up and beat those negative thoughts down over and over and eventually it will get better!
