How to keep moving forward (even through tough times)

Remember that You are not your tough time. Don’t attach to any labels that don’t feel right to you.

Sometimes an experience that seems incredibly horrible can actually have hidden gifts inside it.

Be patient with the path you are on.

Take it one day at a time

Know that sometime in the future, you will likely gain incredible insight on the gifts of what you are going through.

4 Tips to Enjoy the Journey More :

1. Create a Mission statement: This will help you stay focused
2. Continue to be inspired: Your inspiration could be a vision board, movie or photograph
3. Be active and stay active: Get some sun, sound sleep, be mindful (meditate), alone time and positive self talk will allow you to push through. Create a daily routine.
4. Take deep breaths and relax: Try a visualization exercise. It’s something I have learned to do on my own. First, I close my eyes in a quiet setting. I turn on my favorite music. Then I take a deep breath and then visualize myself when I first embarked on this journey. What did I feel? What was I thinking? The positive sensations start flooding in and I recall the joy I felt when I first took on this path.

Sometimes, all we need is a simple, gentle reminder. We remind ourselves to trust our instincts and keep forging ahead. Though the there maybe darkness all around, there’s surely light at the end of the tunnel.

This is all part of the beautiful journey called Life.
