You’re going to be okay. I know you might find it hard to believe but you're destined to be better off from all of this. You might be asking yourself, “Am I going to be okay?” questioning whether or not you’ve got what it takes to get through this crazy mess. Sometimes, life tornadoes you off course, or so you think. You can’t predict the future, which might be the cause of your anxiety. And while it’s true, you don’t know how the next few moments of your life will unfold, the reality is the world has always been cyclical. You can't predict the future, but history often repeats itself so you can still find patterns. So if you want proof that you’re going to be okay, let’s get right into that.
Am I Going To Be Okay? Yes, You Are. Here’s Why.
1. Everything Is Temporary
In life, everything you experience is temporary. And so while that means you might lose some good or even the best things, you’ll also lose bad and the worst things. During times of loss, it can be hard to imagine the world without loved ones in it. But we came into this world knowing that it wouldn’t last. All we can do while we’re here is make the most of each moment to seize the day. So, when it feels like your life is falling apart, remember that bad days eventually turn into good days again. The best isn’t behind you. You can create an abundance of magical life moments by being grateful the people around you, even strangers. The person you are today is also temporary. Someimes, hardships push you to bring out a new version of you. And when you evolve, a whole slew of amazing life moments will start coming your way. You'll carry yourself with love in your soul and that will bring so much joy in your life. So, yeah, you’re going to be okay. Have fun watching life unfold, the good moments will always surprise you.
2. Half The Battle Is Your Attitude
If you find yourself panicking and asking, “Am I going to be okay?” you should know that it all comes down to your attitude. You have two options at how you can look at the world: optimistic or pessimistic. Both have their purposes in different scenarios. An optimistic person’s attitude typically makes them take action to create solutions. A pessimistic person’s attitude typically makes them helpless so they don’t take action. If you’ve got a long battle ahead of you, you need to switch to an optimistic attitude to help ensure that you handle your situation well – to ensure you’re going to be okay. Of course, pessimism can be good thing, such as when you need to be realistic. So, it’s important to know that you’re going to be okay, but probably not tomorrow. It might not be until six months from now. You’ll need to be patient with yourself as you heal and recover but still hold out for hope of a better day. If it gives you a bit of more hope, optimistic people tend to thrive in the long-term and achieve greater success and of course, better health.
3. It’s All About How You React
There’s an old expression that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. It’s true, all of your power lies in your reaction. Say you’ve been going through a tough time and you keep getting in trouble at work. And you know your boss is on the verge of firing you. You’re raging mad, frustrated, sad, and anxious. You have more than enough going on in your life, the last thing you need is for your boss to be so misunderstanding and unsupportive. But in that situation, more than ever, you need to take action to make yourself better. To make your boss’ life easier. To make your coworkers' lives easier. Do the work so you can heal instead of digging a bigger hole for yourself. Start small. You can read books that help you solve a specific problem you struggle with. Then, you can meditate for five to twenty minutes a day using the Declutter The Mind app (which includes all meditations for free). You begin to get better with time at recognizing when the negative emotions arise so you stop blowing up at the people around you for little annoyances. You start to improve your mental health again. You might read a bunch of meditation books to help you better understand how your mind works. So, you can get better at managing it and how you react to the daily events that happen.
4. You’re Looking for Solutions
It’s a clear sign that you’re going to be okay when you’re looking for solutions. It means you still have fight in you. And you know you’ve got fight in you. Everyone knows how strong you are. You’ve always known you can handle everything life throws your way. And I know today it might not seem like it, but you’re on the right track– even if things aren't going according to your plan. There’s always multiple solutions for every problem you face. If you’re suffering a medical issue, it’s important to focus on your mindset and being optimistic. It's easier to recover from serious illness, trauma, or other hardships when you have a positive attitude. You can try cognitive behavioral therapy if you're trying to overcome trauma. It’s a slow process but it’s effective long-term. If you’re feeling depressed, you might seek counselling and read books about how to improve your thinking since it’s often our thoughts that spiral us deeper into depression.
5. You’re Trying Your Best
It might not always seem like it, but everyone is always trying their best. You’re going to be okay because you're doing the best you can, too. We know how hard you’re trying to juggle multiple things at once. You’re trying to stay sane in front of everyone else but deep down you might be feeling scared. You can only do so much right now anyways. It’s all about taking those baby steps. Do just enough to get you through the day and night. To make tomorrow a tiny bit easier. But realistically, tomorrow might not be your best day. And that’s okay. You already knew tomorrow would be tough too. For now, just do the best you can with what you’ve got. It might seem like you don’t have a lot right now. You might’ve lost something that you wish you still had. But you’ve still got you. That fighter you. The resilient you. The I will make it you.
6. You Have Access To Help
Have you ever thought of how many people you’ve helped? You’ve always been so kind and generous towards others. If you find people are trying to do the same for you right now, maybe it’s a good time to let them. If you find your support system is small right now because others are struggling alongside you, it may be a good idea to get some help from a professional. Maybe you find a therapist to help improve your mental state. Maybe you turn to a doctor or health professional to work on your physical health. You could also turn to service professionals from cleaners to babysitters to help take off some of the stress off your plate. Never forget that there’s always someone you can turn to for help when you feel like you can't take care of yourself. Don’t worry, you’re going to be okay. There's so many people out there who love helping people in need.
7. This Could Be How You Grow
You know you’re going to be okay because this might be the moment that helps you transform into a higher version of yourself. This could be the origin of your very own hero story. You were once a person who hit rock bottom thinking there was no way out. Slowly but surely, you picked yourself up, dusted yourself up, and rebuilt your life. With some help from new people, you learned new life skills, and became the person you were destined to be. One day, you’ll use this story to inspire others and to tell them, “you’re going to be okay” and mean it. That’s because you’ll have survived this story. In the future, it won’t be me giving you a pep talk, it’ll be you giving this pep talk to someone else. And today, you’re thinking “I’m not there yet.” I know. Years ago I wasn’t there either. But today I am. And one day you will be too. This is simply a part of your journey that you’re destined to go through. You will come out on top.
8. You Put Out Good In The World
You aren’t an evil person. You do so much more good than bad. I mean, sure, you’re not perfect. But I know how much you beat yourself up for that. I mean, some nights you’re at war with yourself. You keep cycling back those mistakes you made, full of regret. No one in this universe has mastered the art of human perfection. We’re all flawed in one way or another. We constantly struggle to get it right. Even on your worst days, deep down you’re trying to do more good than bad. And if you really think that you’re on the right path. What better day than today to get corrected onto the right course again. You can do acts of kindness or acts of generosity to help those in need– or those you’ve hurt. You can choose to change your whole life around at any given moment. It’s important to stay mentally healthy so that doing good is easier for you. Sometimes when we experience hardship, we unintentionally take it out on people. Choose to spend time with good people so that you don’t go down a path that isn’t really who you really are.
9. You Have A Support System
You’re going to be okay because there are so many people who love you and want you to be okay. Sometimes people show that they care by nagging, pestering, or even annoying you. So you bark back instead of asking for that hug you actually need. There isn’t a single person on this planet who isn’t loved by somebody. Heck, even strangers can show deep compassion for people they’ve just met. Just think of all the nurses and doctors who’ve cared for you over the years. On dark days, when you feel alone, just remember that there’s someone out there who wants you to be okay and feel better. Don’t crave love from people who haven't learned how to give it. And don’t expect love to be given in the way you want it to be received. Everyone loves differently. Let the people who love you care for you in the way they know best. You’re going to be okay if you let people take care of you.
10. You Don’t Believe In Giving Up
You keep wondering, “Am I going to be okay?” As you read through this article, there’s a part of me that can tell that you wanted to read this one because you still feel like you have a fighting chance. That’s what people love about you. You just don’t quit. You keep fighting, holding on, and thriving. You might be looking all around for the light at the end of the tunnel, scared in the dark, but you know that the light is out there, you just need to keep moving forward. You aren’t moving in the wrong direction, trust yourself. You’ve already survived so much. You know you can handle this, too. This isn’t the time to give up. This is the time to take care of yourself, so you can finally get everything you want in life.
Conclusion
So, the good news is that you’re going to be okay. No matter what life has in store for you. Your journey can still lead you to a beautiful path. And that decision is all up to you. It’s about holding onto all that fight you still have left to give. You’re going to need to remember that tomorrow isn’t going to be the best day of your life. It’ll still be a tough day.
