We all have days when we feel low, anxious, or fearful. The spiritual journey involves realising that this is simply human emotion and is to be expected. It's easy when we wake up feeling low to start believing that we will always be suffering and that it will never end. Spirituality allows you to believe that with all emotions, 'this too shall pass,' and that 'all is well.' Our new reality accepts that we will have tough days. This is part of the healing process. Love your fate.
Our emotional landscape is constantly changing. Our emotions must be felt then let go of. Our new reality is about accepting the 'isness' of the present moment. In the past we used unhealthy coping mechanisms such as diving into work, using alcohol, and other addictive negative coping mechanisms. Now we use daily spiritual practises such as prayer and meditation and other 'Live Your Life Well' tools as listed in this article below.
How to get through tough moments
Simply realising that it is normal to have fluctuations in our emotions provides great solace.
Do not trust the way you see your Self when your mind is turbulent, and remember that even pain is temporary. Treat your Self gently, let go of perfection, and feel your emotions without letting them control you: You have enough experience to face the storm and evolve from it.
Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.
If you can’t change a situation, change your perception of it. Remember, most of your stress comes from the way you respond, not the way life is. We create our fears and our very own imaginary monsters. Reframe your thoughts: Try to view challenges as opportunities for growth.
Faith is knowing it will all unfold in a wonderful way, even though you cannot see it from where you are standing. This allows us to feel hope even during times of feeling low. If you can see your whole path ahead of you it's not your path. Your path is one step at a time into the dark. You will need a guide or an 'Enlightened Witness.'
