When it is all too much!

hi Jessica, your post so resonated with me, its a crazy world isn't it? It's never usually just the one things that challenges .. in my case it was two or three, sometimes i even stopped counting! I used to resist and feel why me? and what have i done to deserve this? when i looked for understanding i found no solace - when i gave up, and gave myself fully to the despair - it was as though i met my demons and there was nothing left - either to feel angry about, to rail against - just nothingness. And into the emptiness crept peace and, ultimatley  serenity - nothing changed on the outside - my problems were still there but i experienced some sort of internal shift - in writing this, perhaps it was letting go of any expectations that i had put on myself. I'm not sure - i just felt a huge relief at giving myself permission to be me - however i showed up, it was as though angel wings embraced me and i felt comforted

i had a few mantras that helped me through my darkest days - 

"this too will pass" - just like the good times don't last forever, so too the dark times pass

And similar to Hazel M, just taking one day at a time - although in my case i just followed the breadcrumbs of life - taking one step at a time, 

We are all waliking this journey with you, coping as best we can, take care Jessica, with love and light
