Adulting is hard
I came across this sticker that read, “Adulting is Hard”. And I thought what does that mean?
What’s hard about being an adult?
Is it having competing priorities clamoring away for you very limited time?
Is it despite your best efforts feeling trapped in a life you don’t like?
Is it feeling like the world is a scary place and there isn’t enough resources, space, etc for you? Ending up with the wicked witch or warlock instead of Prince Charming or Cinderella?
Being an adult can be a very lonely place especially if you have limited support.
Are you living your life based on what someone else wants? Do you have people in your life that allow you to be your unique self? Are you accepted for you?
Life is meant to be enjoyed despite the cards …
we have been dealt but how do you go about making that happen? How do you get from this hell you are in to paradise?
First check your thinking..
Are you caged in by your own belief system? Check your belief system, does it still ring true, have you developed limited beliefs that hold you back?
You are suppose to enjoy life and have a life filled with that which you think will bring you well being.
There is enough resources you and everyone on this planet to experience well being.
Ask yourself what is this feeling of discontentment, sadness, anger , fear here to teach me or tell me ?
Emotions are signals they are there to give us information about our selves and the world .
Listening /processing your emotions allows you to create the road map to your paradise.
The difference between a wish and a goal are deadlines…
Dr. Phil has been credited for saying “someday is not a day on the calendar.” People have the tendency to push things off for another time, and that time never comes. Before you know it you are caught up in the business of life and not having any fun or feeling fulfilled. Goals are time sensitive. For example, I will save $100 a month by taking my lunch to work 3 out of 5 days and placing the savings in a savings account. I will create a fun savings account and save $5000 dollars in 2 years.
Look for road signs along the way..
So you have charted your route, packed up and are ready to go. Once you set and commit to your journey then create short term measurable goals or road signs that help you recognize you are on the right path.
When you stop to fuel up check your road map, check in with your self with prayer or meditation or journaling to see if you are going the right way or need to go in another direction. Ask your self how does this feel to me? Does it feel right?
Whether it’s navigating competing priorities or feeling isolated, many of us can relate to these struggles. In such moments, it’s important to recognize the resources available to us. Just like organizations like the Medhab Alliance dedicate themselves to improving medical rehabilitation, there are support systems in place to assist us on our journey. These initiatives remind us that we’re not alone in facing life’s challenges and that help is accessible when needed.
Once your reach your mile markers, reward your self. Celebrate each accomplishment along the way!!! Don’t wait until the end, enjoy your success as you go , emerge fully in your life.
Before you know it you will arrive at your destination.
