The Power of Resilience: How To Pick Yourself Back Up After a Difficult Situation

“The foundation of the life you want starts with you.”

– MO

Life can be difficult and has its way of making you feel defeated. Finding the power of resilience is significant. Your journey can be challenging to the point where you feel like you can no longer move on, but there is a way to move forward after your setback.

The general purpose of Insightbymo is the promotion of self-love. I want you to strive to improve yourself to become a healthier version. The truth is that sometimes life will get in the way of that. When life knocks you down, your initial reaction is to stay down because it is safer. The beautiful part about life knocking you down is that there is only one way to go on afterward, upwards. In conclusion, staying down is easy, but picking yourself back together? Not so much. 

What is if I told you that some of the best paths to self-discovery come in the moment of hardship. Difficult roads can lead you to beautiful destinations. 

Let me ask you this,

• How do you treat yourself after you have experienced a difficult moments?
• What do you do to remind yourself of the person you are within?

Remember what I always tell you, everything in life starts with you. The foundation for the life you want starts with you. 

Learning how to be resilient is one of the best abilities you could give yourself.

If it happened, in a way, it was meant to happen. If there is a will, there is a way. When you are going through a difficult moment, these words may seem hurtful but, in time, they will make sense. Sometimes you may not like the path you are led down, but eventually, you will understand.

Here are some key points to remember to help you bounce back after a difficult situation:

1) Do Not Suppress Your Emotions. 

During times of difficulty, allow yourself to feel what you are feeling in that moment. A lot of people tend to suppress their emotions. I would encourage you to explore your feeling and let them pass by. Sometimes these emotions can present as hurt, pain, discouragement, anger, disappointment, and much more. If you want to cry, cry. Feel like you need to shout? Shout. If you need to talk about it, talk. Allow yourself to express yourself healthily. I want to emphasize healthy here because when you choose an unhealthy way to express yourself, the outcome is not a pleasant experience. Sure, it may numb your pain in the meantime, but when it subsides, you usually tend to feel worst than you did before. This is why I choose to encourage you to explore your feeling. It may feel painful at the moment but let it pass by.

2) Affirm Your Life. 

Your words have power. I always tell you there is power in the way that you speak yourself. Whatever you are going through in life, I want you to speak power over your situation and life. Remind yourself of the greatness that lies within you. After you have let yourself explore your emotions and are ready for movement, one of the best ways to start that process is to declare over yourself. “I AM STRONG.” I believe in the power of I AM affirmations. You use the phrase “I AM” to declare over our life and speak light back into yourself. Remind yourself that this experience is just a moment and you have the strength to withstand the storm. Remind yourself that everything you need is already within you.

3) Pray, Stop and Reflect. 

We all come from different religious and/or spiritual backgrounds. Regardless of your beliefs, one thing is for sure, that we are all connected in life. You will understand that there is a force greater than you and your circumstance. Pray and ask for assistance in your time of difficulty. You have the power to control and shape your reality, but the fact is that the power you possess is limited when you are not connected. When you are out of alignment, you will not be in the position to receive knowledge and wisdom on how to process your difficult experiences. I cannot tell you how to pray, but I would encourage you to pray for the strength to carry you through these moments. I will also recommend using this moment as a chance to self-reflect on your life. Try to have an understanding of why and what you can be doing better. Although you cannot control your situation, you have the power to manage how you handle your circumstances.

4) DO NOT STOP!

I know I just encouraged you to stop and reflect but, what I mean by this is do not stop your journey in life. Yes, life will have its difficult moments, and initially, you will want to run and hide during these moments. One important lesson I have learned from life is that running prolongs your journey. In all that you do, KEEP MOVING FORWARD in the most healthy way possible. Even if you have to take it one step at a time, you keep stepping. Your situation is challenging now does not mean that it will be challenging tomorrow. Try not to stagnate yourself by stagnating experiences.

I say all of this to say, I understand. Life is not easy sometimes. Certain situations will try to break us down to the point of no return. I want to remind you that you are power. In all that you do, you have to remember who you are. The struggles you face in life are temporary, and so long as you are willing to keep moving forward, you will succeed. In conclusion, embrace the experience, whether good or bad, and allow yourself to grow in the spirit because it will manifest in the best possible way in your physical reality.
