Season 2 Episode 8 - Picking Yourself Up After A Crisis
This week’s episode of the TOUGH LOVE ENERGY podcast is the last episode in this current series, as I'll be taking a short break over the summer months.
All the themes in this second series were requested by you and included topics such as procrastination, discovering your purpose and what it means when you see signs everywhere. This week’s episode is no different and focuses on picking yourself up after a crisis.
We all know the feeling. You get knocked down. You cry. You feel the pain. You wallow. You get angry. You plot your revenge. You cry some more. You feel a bit better. You brush yourself down and off you go again. Until the next time.
The biggest challenge though is in knowing just how long we will stay at each stage, and what it will leave us with when we emerge. What will we have learned? And will we be more likely to believe something happened to us rather than instead believing it may have happened for us?
Life can be special, joyful and beautiful, but it always has the potential to unexpectedly pull the rug from underneath us. Bad things happen to good people, and each of us will at some point experience loss, disappointment, adversity and hurt. But what makes the difference between someone who barely survives these challenges in life, and someone who meets these challenges head-on and is able to thrive and bloom?
This podcast will answer that!
In this episode, I share with you six things you can do to help yourself navigate through your next crisis. I also ask you to remember that, when you do emerge from a personal crisis, whilst you may be different and it may have changed you, this is what growing and evolving looks like. It’s when you stop trying to control life that you actually start living.
I hope this episode is useful and helps you to be kinder to yourself when you're next faced with a crisis. While this may be all for this series, I might pop in with a bonus episode or two over the summer. And don't forget, there are plenty of past episodes available for you to listen to whenever you like.
As always, I love to hear from you - and if you have any topics you want me to cover in the next series, please do send them over to me.
Have a great summer and thanks for listening!
From my grateful heart to yours.
