How to surrender during challenging times!

In life there is always going to be highs and lows. Good times and bad times. Ups and downs. We live in a world that is made of contrast. What I have learned is to be neutral during the times where things are not flowing easily. The more we come from a place of understanding and awareness we can get through anything.

I remember last year when my grandmother had a major stroke and we thought we were going to lose her. I was challenged emotionally, mentally and physically during that time, It was a very difficult time, I stopped and reminded myself to have compassion for myself. This is a time where I was experiencing great difficulty and I needed to surrender to the situation. Not sit in despair instead just be as present as possible to the current situation.

As soon as I started to not resist what was happening, I started to settle down. I surrendered. This brought me great relief and I was able to cope a lot better and find ways to find the blessings. I remember going to the hospital daily and being in such gratitude for the medical staff and the care givers at the hospital. I started to enjoy my time at the hospital with my grandmother and I did a lot of healing and prayers during that time. The blessing was it brought me that much closer to my faith. I felt a deep connection to the Universe and knew that everything will work out for the highest good.

When you are going through challenging times remember to be kind to yourself and know you will get through this. Sometimes when we are in difficult situations, it seems like we will always feel this way. But the truth is in life we can’t control the outer world but we do have control over our inner world. We have the power to choose how we want to show up in each situation, what kind of attitude we want to have and how we treat other people.

Sending you all much love xo
