Why keep going?
I am often told that I am very strong and very tenacious. I am sometimes asked why I haven't given up and why I keep moving toward freedom and for a better life. My main motivation is I have nothing to lose by pushing towards my goal. I know what my current situation looks and feels like. So, I might as well push through in hopes for something better.
Pushing through psychological emotional pain can be a challenging task, but there are strategies that may help:
1. Acknowledge your feelings: Recognise and accept your emotions, even if they are unpleasant. This can help you move through them and work towards finding solutions.
2. Focus on self-care: Take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. Engage in activities that make you feel good, such as exercise, and self-reflection.
3. Build a support system: Connect with people who are supportive and non-judgmental. This can help you feel less alone and provide a sounding board for your feelings.
4. Reframe negative thoughts and beliefs into more positive ones. This can help you see things from a different perspective and reduce the intensity of negative feelings.
5. Seek professional help: Consider seeking the help of a therapist or counselor who can help you work through your emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
It's important to keep in mind that everyone copes with emotional pain differently, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. It's okay to give yourself time and space to heal, and to seek help when needed.
