That means your future will also be brighter because better decisions mean a more effective outcome.
If a situation comes your way and turns your life completely upside down, be kind to yourself. Give yourself the time to heal and don't feel rushed, either by yourself or by others. Everyone moves at a different pace, and that's okay.
Turn your attention inwards and rest a little, building up the strength until you reach the point where you're ready to pull yourself back up. It might feel like that point isn't going to come, but by focusing on your health and wellbeing, you'll get there faster. Giving yourself a moment to breathe also helps you to avoid negative actions, as a result of heightened emotions.
We all know how it feels to be angry; you suddenly see red and the desire to act is almost irresistible. However, you must resist! You must give yourself a moment and allow the peak to pass.
In the end, it's about identifying ways to handle problems in a better way than before. Learn from your mistakes and focus on perhaps seeing things differently this time. Your tried and tested method hasn't worked for you so far, and that means you need to look for a better option. It's out there; you just need to be proactive and find it!
Tryy this
• Think about how you generally handle difficult situations — do you run away and hide? Do you throw yourself into partying? Do you seek help from others? Assess whether it works well for you and think about other recovery methods to try next time.
• Identify your recovery buddy. Identify one person who you can go to when you're struggling.
• Check–in with your friends regularly. They might be struggling and don't have the courage to reach out to you.
