Does life seem to throw 3 strikes and you're OUT?

Many times it appears the downstream of life hits us in sets of three.  It can be overwhelming and cause you to go through this emotional roller coaster amusement park several times a day.  You may go from feeling this is something you can handle, to being angry,  to feeling like giving up, to feeling hopeless and sometimes experiencing all of these feelings at once.  This is where building a solid village is very helpful along with fine tuning your faith.

For me, it was several health issues including entering perimenopause,  a stoke, and breast cancer all in less than a year along with a legal issue that was not fact based but race STILL prevails in America.

This seemed to consume me at times because I could not understand WHY?  There was a lot of mental anguish placed on my family and our relationships.

I chose to rely on my faith, listened to a lot of Joyce Meyers, reached out to my mother and pastors while keeping communication open with my immediate family.  In addition,  each immediate family member found a therapist they connected with.  Mine is faith based and reminds me to check into my faith starting with Hebrews 11 along with reminding me to indulge in self-care, although I am service based person.

I no longer try and make sense of all of the changes and challenges.  I have learned to trust God and the process through daily mantras.  I focus on sharing intimate details only with those that I trust and know are sincerely concerned about me and not just on a hunt for information. 

This is how I am making it through my new journey DAY BY DAY:

I begin my day with gratitude 🙏 and asking God to lead my steps, thoughts, words actions.

I am focused on making healthier choices in regards to food, relationships, environment, and physically. 

I am more mindful of my actions and avoid multitasking. 

I try and lead by example for my children and grandchildren.

I take the good people have to offer and leave the rest.

When I'm going through it, I practice grounding and helping others. 

I make exercise a daily part of my life.

I'm mindful of things, people, music, television,  and environmental exposure. 

I make a great effort to read a minimum of 10 pages of positive and influential material. 

Journaling is more of a conscious effort daily to release and find answers unintentionally.

So are we OUT?  I choose to believe:

O- Overcome

U- Utilize the resources

T- Tenacity 

I hope this may be of help to you.  Please feel free to share what works for you, or how I can answer any question you may have.

LOVE 💘 PEACE, AND BLESSINGS to you and your circle.
