It is both a blessing and a curse how life changes without our consent. I feel like having a banter with life, for it has left me feeling very unsettling. Doesn't it happen with us all at some point? Life has its way to usurp the throne from us when we try unifying ourselves, often making us feel broken. We are all broken in some way or another. On this journey of life, we pass through different incidents that take away a piece of us. Be it the loss of a loved one, failure to achieve something, or maybe parting ways with someone you never wanted to let go of, all of this leaves a void within us and makes us feel broken. 

 

Finding the way towards light every time such an incident occurs seems like a daunting task. Regardless of what life throws at us, we need to pick up the pieces and rebuild ourselves. Often, we might not see this path instantly, but with time, everything heals. Let us discuss some ways to build ourselves a better life and achieve peace of mind. 

 

  1. Go through the pain you are experiencing. Don't avoid it. 

Dealing with your feelings and moving past them might seem like the most arduous task. However, it is essential to grieve your pain to move on in life. Cry when you feel like, express your feelings until you feel free. Inculcate the habit of Mindfulness. Do not try to control, ignore or manipulate your pain. 

 

2.     Engage yourself in your favorite pastimes. 

Keep yourself distracted and engaged. Do the things you love which were not a part of your daily routine before. Give time to your hobbies. Develop new skills. Take a walk, read a book, watch a movie. Inculcate hope and give yourself another chance to build yourself better than ever. Do something especially for yourself, for your good and growth. 

 

3.     Set Targets

The healing process does not take place overnight and requires time and persistence. Set some daily goals and work towards them. Take one step at a time. Slow healing is always better than no healing. Accept your situation, accept the reality and build confidence to overcome any situation. 

 

4.     Surround yourself with positive people

Speak with your close friends and family about what you are going through. Do some fun activities, hang out, eat at a restaurant, go out for a picnic, etc. Try to recapture the lost meaning of life. Be with people who motivate you to be your best and stick with you through your thick and thin. 

 

5.     Therapy

When nothing works out, and you cannot move ahead from the state of fear and sadness, it's time to consult someone professional and get help. 

 

Life always has a solution to every problem we face. It takes a while and a positive mind to find these answers. With a strong will and a positive mindset, you will come out stronger than ever. When you seek for a happy and peaceful heart, you'll find it.
