When life gets you down, turn to that person who can lift you back up!
Hey everybody!
My name is Nancy Pitre and I am a Certified Holistic Health Coach. My passion is serving you, the reader. I gotta say, during this difficult season, there will be moments where stress and anxiety will get the best of us! After all, we’re only human! Even when we do what’s necessary for our health and wellbeing, there are still going to be moments where you just don’t feel like it! Trust me, I hear ya!
Sometimes, it’s easier to skip the workout or eat convenient foods that have short prep times. It can also be easier to let our kids play with their tablets just to get some peace and quiet. It’s also easier to get lost watching your favourite shows on Netflix. This is all perfectly normal because we’re dealing with so much fear and uncertainty during this pandemic. This is why it’s important to have a strong support system in your life that can lift you up when life get’s you down. Specifically, when you feel like you’ve got nothing left to give!
This reminds me of the time I ran my first half marathon. I was running a great race until I hit “The Wall”. I only had a couple of kilometres left and was gassing out!! Panic started setting in and before I knew what was happening, I contemplated quitting. Time slowed down as negative thoughts filled my mind. I kept thinking stuff like “Go ahead and quit you loser!” and “You’ll never amount to anything good!” As I was quitting, I could hear people cheer us on which prompted me to look at the other runners. They were all fighting to make it to the finish line even if they all looked like they were struggling. For some reason, this gave me a burst of pure energy. I thought to myself “I’m going to finish this race even if it kills me!” And I did!! I willed myself across the finish line because of the other runners! They encouraged me, not with their words but with their actions. We were all striving for the same goal despite the struggles along the way and this gave me the boost to keep going! That day, I learned that it’s important to keep showing up no matter how tough life can be. It’s not what happens to us that defines us but what we become during the process that matters. Everybody needs a community who will help lift you up when you’ve fallen down!
So who is that person for you? Is that person a friend? Your spouse? Your kids? A mentor? A podcast? An audiobook? Whoever or whatever it is, remember, you don’t have to go through these storms alone.
WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER!!!
