It seems like there have been far too many of these lately. I struggle to hang on at times. I struggle to continue on. The emotional challenges batter me hard.
Yes, I'm strong. Yes, I have tools and support to help me through them. It just doesn't stop them from coming and taking over my life.
They are a challenge. They are exhausting. I so want them to end. I so want them to go away and never ever come back again.
I wish upon a star that they are gone. I recite mantras that they will never appear again. Yet these emotional challenges just find their way into my life.
I want to hide. I want to run. I want to never have any of them find me again. Where can I go? Where can I flee? For in the still moments, these emotional challenges will find me and hunt me down.
My head is swirling. My heart is racing. I struggle to keep going, but what other alternative do I have? I could quit and give up, but where would that get me?
No, it isn't easy with emotional challenges. I know they are challenges in life that often give me deeper healing. Unfortunately when you're in the middle of them, that's the last thing on your mind.
I will carry on. I will put one foot in front of the other. I will lean on others when I need to and hunker down when I need a break.
Its all I can do in this moment of emotional challenges. Its all I can do to find my way through. Once I've regained my strength, it is then that I will begin to climb the mountain once again.
