Hi Lovely Readers! Wishing everyone a blessed and joyful Sunday!
Right now, if you're having hard times… let me assure you that you"ll definitely overcome and heal from what is troubling you. Hard times will pass, baby!
Every moment can be a reward or every moment can be a punishment.
Every moment can become punishment if we're least aware about our own thoughts and actions, and end up making bad choices. Bad choices harm our mind, body and spirit.
Here are some tips that worked in my life and I’m here to share you some. You can apply the ones you think might fit you.
Remember, every moment in life either serves as a reward or a punishment.
If you fully use a moment to grow mentally and emotionally, it becomes a reward.
If you get exhausted and disoriented, and your thoughts and emotions run astray and your actions head in the wrong direction….then you're in self punishment mode.
You can self-punish yourself by:
Entangling in the negative frequencies of people who cannot think for themselves( people who do not realise they've a problem and have high ego in accepting their mistakes)
Entertaining communication with energy sappers(people who always complain, criticise, and condem you, look down on you and your efforts)
Continuing any actions that is harming you mentally, emotionally and physically.
You can self punish yourself by literally hanging around any form of negativity… when the Universe has already presented you with all the best opportunities to leave the negative situation.
How to protect yourself ?
Be alert and Self- check regularly: Am I in a situation that is beyond my control? For example, coming across an annoying colleague at a shopping mall. (Here you've no choices.)
Be alert and Self- check regularly: Am I in a situation that is within my control? For example, choosing to attend or not attend a birthday celebration. (Here you've choices.)
Self-punishment is matter of taking bad choices when you've the opportunities to take good ones.
Let go of anything that depletes your mental energy and leads to no positive outcome. For example, Are you serving your company without any increment? Are you being overly-controlled by your intimate partner? Are you facing difficulty expressing your pain to someone who doesn’t listen or have empathy towards you?
Relieve yourself from hard times by letting go of everything that doesn't serve any positivity to your life. In other words, never hold too long onto a pain when you have the opportunity to let go of it.
Practice self-compassion. Respect yourself and allow yourself to be out of a situation that is causing you more mental and emotional damage.
Keep telling yourself, every moment is a ‘Gift from the Universe.’ Walk courageously to receiving the reward with an open heart completely surrendering with trust and faith in yourself.
A fable: The Dog and The Nail
Once upon a time, there was a dog sitting on a mat crying. A passerby asked the dog, “Why are you crying, little one?” The dog replied that he had stepped in a nail that was stuck on the mat. The passerby asked, “Why don’t you get off this uncomfortable mat if it hurts so much?” The dog replied, “Sir…. the pain hasn’t become bad enough for me to leave right now.”
The moral of the story isn’t about dogs developing a special ability to talk when they are in pain. The moral of the story is about knowing our comfort zone.
Sometimes nothing is done to move forward because the pain isn’t painful enough for us to do anything about it. It’s good to prepare early, take small steps to make positive changes, and not wait until the problem or pain gets bigger.
Stay alert and attend to any pressing issues right away that could affect your overall well-being. Protect yourself from the self- punishment mode. Become the light of your own life.
