As a man thinks, so is he.
Life can feel like a constant battle, even if it's not a real war. We all face challenges like bad breaks, loss of loved ones, money problems, job loss, health issues, and more. These can leave emotional scars, just like a war wound.
It's easy to get stuck in a negative situation and give up. When that happens, your brain starts throwing out scary thoughts, like missiles with no target. This is when you need to be extra careful about what you think and say to yourself.
Negative thoughts and words can inflict emotional wounds, making you feel like a victim. In such situations, having a strong inner voice can help. Think of it as your ally in a battle, one that won't surrender easily.
Here are some examples of those bad thoughts:
"My life isn't working!"
"I'll never achieve my dreams."
"No one will ever love me."
"I can't handle this."
These thoughts can feel so strong that they make you believe they're true. Then, you feel like you've lost the battle. You stop fighting and let your negative thoughts take over. This can lead to feeling hopeless.
Hopelessness is dangerous because if you give up all hope, you give up on yourself. If you're feeling hopeless, reach out to someone you trust for support. Without hope, it's hard to see any way out, even if there might be a solution.
It's okay to feel down sometimes, we all do! There are real reasons to feel bad during tough times. But if you want to get through those times, you need to change the way you see things. If you keep thinking about how bad things are, you'll keep feeling bad.
Have you heard the saying "misery loves company"? Being miserable won't attract good things. If you want to change your life, start by changing what you think and say to yourself.
