How to Move on After Being Left Behind
Many times in our lives we can feel like we got the short end of the stick. We feel left behind in this process of living. Many times we are filled with resentment, or shame and we don’t know how to pull ourselves out of it.
What are some things we can do to try and grow past this worthless feeling? Our resentments grow and we need to take a moral inventory while trying a few steps outlined here.
Meditation
Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique, or several techniques – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness. This is done to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. Allow yourself to sit still and breathe deep. Focus.
Practice Kindness
Show yourself kindness and tell yourself that regardless of my flaws, I am truly loved. I am worthy of love and when I am ready and open, love will find me once again. I will embrace who I’m becoming with open arms and cheer those moments when I overcome a new fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Exercise
Burn off all the negative energy in your thoughts by doing an activity that will add to your longevity and lift the spirit. Invest in your outside as you invest in your inside. This will create the balance that nourishes your growth. Build a stronger and healthier body so you can build a stronger self image.
Prepare Healthy Food
Try to invest time in preparing more foods with love. This will nourish your body with things that are natural and use less items that are processed. Enjoy sitting alone at times and eating with mindfulness. Eat to live, not live to eat. Nourish your body while nourishing your soul.
Question Ourselves
Learn more about yourself. Ask the tough questions and learn to be okay with the answers. Get to know yourself, who you are today and who you want to be tomorrow. Revisit the past, the choices you made and see what lessons you can take while moving forward. Set the goal of clarity. When you are clear, all doors will open.
We looked at a few things we can do to better ourselves and our outlook. We’re never really left behind, we are taking a new path. Be kind to yourself and practice self-love.
