Cope
The ability to contribute to one’s better or worst experience is a personal choice and so is the ability to allow people and things to get to us.
Your ability to deal with relationships, tasks, duties, responsibilities and life as it may present itself is decided by you. Many of us do not realise the power that we wake up with each morning and our ability to choose.
We have been programmed to cope a certain way. Reflecting on the mechanics of how we do things is crucial to measuring the necessary changes needed for you to embrace better methods of dealing with people, tasks and matters.
Recent events has caused me to retreat to a space that enables me to quieten my mind, recollect my thoughts and take a breather. It is okay to connect with the humanness of ourselves and to take a break from everything that may be draining us, making us feel a bit negative and exhausting our energy.
This quiet time, along with some journaling allows us to put our thoughts into perspective.
Realising that we belong to much bigger circles and relations that we impact on and may be impacted by needs the understanding that we have a responsibility towards ourselves and others.
A few years ago I found myself seeking the assistance of a psychologist and in the many instances that we walked through relation to relation I was made to understand that I am no longer a little girl and that I do have the power to manage how others impact my life and how I allow the toxic ones to affect me.
I had to face the hard truth that as an adult I was still crying about the same things that hurt me as a kid and that was a huge wake up call to take back my power.
I do not belive in perfect relations but I do believe in good relations. Good relations though takes work.
Whatever you are wanting out of a relationship you are needing to be giving freely of yourself. If you want love give love. If you want happiness give happiness. If you want peace be peaceful.
You have a choice and the most powerful part of enabling your ability to cope is realising your power and its potential.
