Is Life Overwhelming You?

Life can be wonderful at times; at other times, it can feel like it’s the worst experience you have ever been through. It’s hard to find moments of happiness when the bills are flying in, yet the income isn’t. Anxiety can take over and consume your mind, sucking the joy out of everything and making it all much harder to bear. And even when you know how to practise daily gratitude, the anxiety still sits there, waiting to drain your energy.

In moments like this, it helps to get a different perspective, so I climbed up a mountain to see a different view today. Our lives are not the bills we pay or the jobs we have. Our lives are the emotions we feel, the moments of happiness experienced, and even the moments of despair that make happiness feel so much better. Good feelings and bad feelings are the colours of our lives, and finding a healthy balance is something to strive for.

One way to gain a new perspective is to zoom out on our lives in our minds, remembering we are part of something much larger than ourselves. We are but tiny cogs in a galactic universe, and that universe does not want you to spend life worrying about bills. You are special; you are a unique being living a unique life. Of all the billions of people in the world, there is only one you, the you with all the experiences and skills you’ve had. You are important, and whatever life throws at you, trust that it is a journey to somewhere better, even when you can’t see where or how.

Zoom out to the stars in your mind and remember your uniqueness; it’s a gift only you have.
