You are exactly where you’re meant to be.
So true.
However, let’s all be mindful enough that not all spaces are as comfortable as the other.
Life is that unpredictable after all.
Given that, you don’t really have to over react when you find yourself in a space that initially may seem not of your liking.
You only have to pause for a while and analyze why you’re in that current space to begin with.
Because with better understanding, you get rid of unnecessary anxiety and worries that might cloud your judgment.
Here are 5 reasons why you’re in your current space to help you embrace it fully.
Your life is the sum total of the choices you make every single day, whether on your own or influenced by others. However, know that the key to enjoy the now is to take responsibility for your choices, good or bad, instead of resisting them while running away in the process. You can never undo them that way to begin with.
2. You have to let go of something
Feeling stuck is quite common for people who refuse to acknowledge the need to let go of something from their past. Remember, anything that doesn’t sit well with you and you hold on to it dearly will only weigh you down in the long run. So take this time to ask yourself this important question: what must I let go of? How can I make it easier for me to do so? Start from there.
3. You have a lesson to learn
Notice a pattern in your life? Whether it’s all about being betrayed, or having huge debts or whatsoever, know that these will keep on repeating themselves until you finally acknowledge them and deal with them. So if you find yourself in the same space again, it’s telling you to learn from your previous experiences.
4. It’s a preparation for something better
I always tell myself this whenever I find myself in an uncomfortable situation. Purging, I tell myself. Growth is somewhat painful and messy to begin with so your current space if it’s less than ideal, is telling you that rooms for improvement are there, making you realize what you deserve while preparing you for greater days ahead, should you mindfully choose to push thru. Endure now, enjoy after. Haha!
5. It’s divinely orchestrated
Trust the process. At times when life is challenging and things are beyond your control, know that there is a greater purpose based on the divine plans of the person up there (whatever you believe in). You just have to go and grow with the flow, no matter where that takes you. Your current space is a launch pad, not a dead end. Remember that always.
I hope these reasons help you be more at ease with your current space.
Know that wherever you are right now, whatever you’re going through, it’s ok.
You’re still on your way to becoming your own #bestmeever .
It’s not always about moving on and forward.
Yup, there are days when you should just let yourself be and accept things as they are.
Know that if nothing’s happening (or things aren’t going as planned), it doesn’t mean that you’re not growing so stop being anxious about it.
What is important to know is that whatever space you are in now, it’s exactly where you are meant to be, because that space will teach you something of value to your personal (or professional) growth.
Any form of resistance won’t do you any good. So open yourself up to possibilities instead: ask yourself what can be beautiful about the space I am in now? Start being intentional in looking for silver linings so that you get to accept and appreciate wherever you are as of the moment.
2. Appreciate your progress
Trust me, you wouldn’t feel stuck in the first place if you haven’t made any movement in your life at all. So take this time to give yourself a pat on the back and see how far you’ve gone. Assure yourself that you’re doing a good job. That will make the waiting game more bearable.
3. Know that this space of yours is temporary
If you take to heart that your situation can change any moment now, how will you handle it differently? So stop beating yourself up and just consider whatever it is you’re going through as a mere pitstop: it’s just preparing you as you recharge and recalibrate yourself to become fit enough to make it to the finish line: of becoming your own #bestmeever .
4. Do what you can
Your current space is not a hopeless one. Know that there will always be something there that you can control. Focus on that and do what you can as you give your all. That will always be more than enough, regardless of the result that you may get. At the end of the day, you (and your growth) will always be worth the try. It’s not about making huge milestones always– even the smallest steps matter. Don’t underestimate the power of sending just one email, reading a couple of pages of your book or even exercising for as little as 5 minutes a day — they can do wonders for you even during the most stressful situations.
5. Learn something new
Feeling stuck is a good sign to take a step back and assess what is it that you need to learn in your life now that will benefit you in the long run as you overcome this space of yours? Think about enhancing your skill sets or beefing up your resume with a new credential. Know that self-improvement was never dependent on the situation one’s in, but rather, it’s based on one’s choices.
So there. I hope these help you feel better while you bask in your current space.
Remember, it’s you won’t be staying there permanently so make the most of it.
