How do you get back to living and liking your life when it feels upside down?
I remember asking this question and a series of other questions. I seriously was confused at the idea of what ‘living fully’ meant.
How do normal people live?
How do you like the life your living?
How do you believe the idea of fully living is good?
Liking being alive felt foreign.
And hope of enjoying life felt distant. And, fear of life never changing took over me.
Breaking out of this cycle of thinking was scary, I’m not going to lie. Because there is always a small chance of our irrational thoughts being right.
This took patience and time to truly figure out how to live again.
How to hope.
How to joyfully walk through life.
How to be curious.
How to wonder and believe and what can be.
Slowly and intentionally I started to believe in a full life, and even started to believe that it was possible for someone like me.
My life wasn’t broken.
My illness wasn’t my identity.
People had not given up on me.
And, I was allowed to believe in me.
I was allowed to build and truly love my life.
I wish I had a magic answer for overcoming the belief that fully living isn’t possible.
I don’t.
But, I know that it is.
Part of overcoming irrational beliefs starts with trusting the ones that tell you it is possible.
When you can’t believe in yourself, allow others to believe in you, and hold hope for you.
LIFE CAN CHANGE.
You just have to be willing to allow it too.
Start believing it today. <3
