That’s why having a little strategy, a plan in place and a healthy way to soothe yourself is so vital. Because when you’re experiencing a life crisis (greater or smaller), a little emergency first-aid kit is something that will help you to calm your mind, body and spirit in a fast, easy and safe manner. That’s why today, I want to share with you my idea on how to build a self-care kit that will help you to relax, unwind and have fun in those days when you feel like your life just sucks.
Accept your pain and it will hurt less. Trust me, I know how it sounds. But the truth is when you keep resisting or fighting your true reality you cause more suffering to yourself. And let me tell you something, it’s not what you need when life is tearing you apart.
Accept your current reality and focus on what you can do in the present moment to make it easier to get through. Accept your pain and it will become “only” a part of your life, not your whole life. Because living a painful life and living with pain are two very different things. The first option, if we can call it that, is living in the mental prison of your own creation, while the second option is accepting that pain is necessary for growth and success.
