Dealing With Life’s Low Points
I’ve been hearing from a lot of my friends that this has been a particularly rough year and that they are at wit’s end from dealing with all the tragedy. I have felt like that at various points in my life, and have likewise had a particularly rough stretch for a couple of months lately. One thing that has helped is remembering to focus on the positive. Yes, it is really hard to make the mental shift when you are feeling beat down, but it’s worth putting the effort into. Every moment when you are focusing on something pleasant, it’s one less moment when you feel tortured. Any little bit of relief is welcome.
I listen to a lot of shows on Hay House Radio where the programs are geared towards helping people feel more positive. I would especially recommend the ones by Denise Linn (her life was a veil of misery for decades, so she is an excellent role model), Doreen Virtue, and Colette Baron-Reid. There’s also Sandra Anne Taylor, John Holland, and Sonia Choquette. Those are all available as streaming audio for one week after the live broadcast. On Contact Talk Radio, there is Venus Andrecht. She is delightfully nutty. Her daughter Summer McStravick also has a show on that network which focuses on changing your life for the better. All the shows on Contact Talk Radio are available as mp3 podcasts about a day after they’ve aired.
One thing I’ve been told that helps is to clear your chakras when you are down. There are some free videos on YouTube to help you do that. Here’s one. You might as well check out the other suggested videos to find the one that suits you the best.
Anyway, just know that you will get beyond this. I went through a couple of decades of hard times and thought that it would never end, either, but it has.
