So..where are You?
Imagine yourself, waking up on a place, like a hiking trail, you cant see any signs pointing out any directions and the trail gives absolutely no clue in what direction you should choose to get to some kind of civilization.
As if that wouldnt be frightening enough, now imagine that its getting darker and that you hear wolves starting to howl, they dont seem to be too far away from you.
And you still dont know where to go for protection, any step, in any direction makes you filled with hesitation, what if its the other direction that is the right one?
What if the one you are on, right now, leads further away form safety, warmth, food and the people you love or the people that "are good" for you?
Sounds like a scary situation right?
Sounds like a scary situation right?
For some people, however, this can be their mental reality. Not knowing where they are going, not sure on where they belong, doubting their every decision and hopelessly struggle to find a way of feeling better. Just a tiny bit better then they do right now.
Since they are doubting their own capability of making good decisions they are also more vunerable to others ideas of whom they are and where they should go.
Its just that..
Others often try to point us in the way of their idea of success. Their idea of happiness. They dont mean any harm in doing so but yet it causes harm because their idea of success doesnt neccessarily have to be aligned with whom we truly are as persons.
Me, for example, I could never be a successfull stockbroker. It doesnt mean I wouldnt like the money in it or the excitement, its just not in me. Since that job is totally against my nature Id probably be rather useless at it to be honest I`d have a real problem engaging in it and that would reflect on my personal life as well..
I`m a person who loves to watch other people grow, to watch them succeed in different areas of their lifes. Making someone else feel better about themselves or their life, that`s something I could live on for weeks if I should be honest. I suppose that deep down inside I have always known that was the case but for a long, long time, I didnt belive that I actually were capable of doing that for a living.
I were on that trail that I described in the beginning of this post. The longer I stayed there the firmer anxiety held me in its grip. That was until I started working, intentionally, with myself.
I was totally stuck there, wolves, coming closer, getting colder and so on.
One day I decided to rise, I knew I could absolutely NOT stay in the place where I was mentally.
I had to go, anywhere would be fine, as long as I didnt stay right there at that spot.
It didnt take long after that day until I had come to realize what I wanted to do, what I had to do to be able to do it and then knowing that I COULD actually do it. You see, when you find your path, your direction, everything seems much clearer and easier, and that energy will spread into other parts of your life as well making them easier to maintain.
Im not saying that`s an easy journey ahead of you. I`m not saying that you need me or Hypnosar to pull through. What I am saying is that you most definatly CAN pull through if you are at that mental trail. If the darkness comes to quick, if you need a hand of getting out of there and back to safety, be brave enough to reach out to someone who can help you.
Why?
Because, even if you dont belive this yourself right now, you are worth it. Living life at it fullest is worth it. And I know that you can do this!
Have a great day!
