The world seems to be a crazy place as of late. There appears to be so much that many of us wish we could change or control, but our efforts sometimes seem wasted. Although we cannot control everything around us, we do have the ability to control something important - ourselves.
During the most challenging times, it's even more important to do what you feel you need to in order to take care of yourself. It's vital to keep yourself grounded when times are turbulent. It's very easy to get absorbed in the wild, fast-paced, negative news cycle. It's easy to see your glass as half empty when you're having to accept changes which you don't agree with. When all we do is focus on negative things, guess how we're going to feel, negative.
Instead, it's better that we focus on doing the things that make us feel lifted. Whatever that is for you, when you're feeling bogged down, it's even more important to give yourself some "you" time. Everyone deserves and needs time for themselves. You are here to experience your life and experience free will. There is nothing that can prevent you from looking inward and achieving peace, accept yourself.
Where your mind goes, your energy flows. Focusing on positive things that make you happy will deliver happy emotions as a result. Add time to your schedule for the daily practices you deserve and which inspire you. This can be meditation, yoga, reading, hypnosis, walks through nature, working out, you get the idea. These should be healthy practices which you enjoy. Everyone is different so find what lifts you up. You deserve it, this is your life!
