Give yourself permission to break down, what's the harm?

What do you do when you fall into a state of uncertainty, vagueness, anxiety, and insecurity? Clearly, it is the result of a long process of accumulation.

You feel exhausted from trying to stay optimistic, working hard, and constantly reminding yourself of good and meaningful things. You expect a positive outcome to come your way, but it hasn’t arrived yet.

Fatigue sets in, and you just want to give up, with no desire to keep going. You find yourself sinking into an inescapable vortex of anxiety.

At times like this, you don't need to force yourself to do anything. Don't try to force positive thoughts about yourself and everything around you. Just let yourself sink into that negative spiral.

However, always remain aware that you are in that state. Observe your emotional storms closely, and always be conscious of where you stand in the situation. This will prevent you from being swallowed whole by that powerful negative vortex.

Protect yourself by:

• Staying in a safe space or in nature, where healing energy flows. This will help raise your high-energy frequency against the wave of negative energy created by your own mind.

• Moving your body, such as walking or jogging, which is also a way to activate energy and combat the sluggishness of both body and mind.

• If you have a religious faith, go to a temple, church, or shrine, sit there in silence, or talk to the higher power that protects you. Pour your heart out. Or, you can pray.

Everyone has to go through these difficult phases a few times in life. Always keep faith in yourself and try to overcome it.
