Victory Passing Through Storms
Let's jump right in, starting with what shakes us up most - storms. Victory while passing through life storms can feel impossible. The process is so painful until just the thought of taking a forward step could generate feelings of frustration, fatigue, hopelessness and exhaustion. While passing through life storms, a success mindset may not always produce a reward. In fact, the harder that you push for success, the more roadblocks you might face. Keep going! What's yours, is yours! You were created to experience victory!
Inner Life Storms
Because storms are times of tremendous change, you may experience stress, anxiety and fear. For example, if you feel like "the storm is raging in my life," you might experience depression, struggle to get and stay asleep and you might gain or lose weight. You also might have trouble focusing.
The New Zealand Health Promotion Agency shares that you may feel like your brain won't stop, won't rest.1 Also, you might feel numb, low on energy or restless. Other signs that you're facing the storms of life include:
• Becoming easily agitated
• Wanting to be alone instead of with other people
• Nervousness, Sadness
• Troubling dreams
• Feeling disconnected
• Thinking that life has no meaning
Outer Life Storms
These are inner signs that storms in your life may be becoming overwhelming. Outer signs that facing the world's storms may be too much include:
• Trouble making decisions
• Staying up late at night
• Bodily pains that seemingly have no cause
• Starting fights
• Headaches and extreme allergic reactions
So, how do you gain victory as you pass through life storms? On the road to success, be honest about what you are experiencing, including how you are feeling. Talk with a friend. Definitely stay connected to family and friends. Don't self-isolate.
Ways to Pass Through Life Storms
Also, rest when you feel overwhelmed. For instance, you could take a break from watching the news, step away from social media and discuss less heavy topics with friends. And, be open to receiving professional help.
Here are other ways to keep advancing. As tough as it may be, remember that faith and perseverance are keys to success. Encourage yourself by reading about the habits of people who have come through severe life storms (e.g. Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Tony Robbins). Reading success stories of people who have overcome near impossible odds can prove empowering. So too could reading scriptures and other books that value life, books that focus on love rather than judgment.
Achieving Victory
As another tip, don't over work. Victory while passing through life storms requires patience. You need to be patient with yourself. But, you also need to keep going. If you're in the habit of practicing awareness due to meditation, practiced honesty or daily body and emotion scans, you should notice when you feel more energized, when you're starting to heal. Depending on the storm that you're going through, it could take years to start to feel energized and as if your life has a remarkable and glorious unfolding ahead.
Eventually, you'll get through the storms. Yet, in this world, new storms, new challenges, will crop up. So, celebrate success each time that you experience it. Each win can serve as evidence, as a real life witness, that the Creator has gifted you with what it takes to achieve ultimate victory even as you're facing new temporary storms. So, keep advancing, one victory at a time.
Coming Out On Top of Life's Rollercoaster
When I was a kid, my major concern was how to find fun things to do to fill up my day. That concern was swept away like water running off a counter edge as I played with neighbors, my sister and my brothers. Having fun was so easy then. It was my only job, the only thing I had to do. Over the years, my life (as I’m sure yours did too) filled up with work, bills, family responsibilities and other projects, responsibilities that make life in this world feel like a rollercoaster.
Howbeit, I also learned that focus, intention and passion would create small successes. These successes were enough to fuel my faith and my efforts. Today, when I look back, it's hard to believe how rewarding the journey is! I'm no different from you. The same can happen to you! Despite your life's seemingly rollercoaster ride, you too, can achieve victory! It is my home that Awakens Blessings of Inner Love provides help for you as you continue to advance!
