Stresses of life

Everyone knows that life is stressful. Everyone has there way to keep moving on. But not everyone does it well or wisely. I have struggled with this my whole life. When I was a kid I would run to my room and cry or hide, or zone out on TV. I will eat sweets. None of these things have ever helped the situation,  but I find myself even doing them today.
Being responsible is not easy. Being an adult can suck from time to time. And you can be feeling powerless and alone.
One thing I have learned over the years is if you ask for help it is always there. Maybe not the way you were expecting it or from whom you were expecting but it's there.
I recall in my past my go to was to say "oh nobody loves me". Telling myself that didn't help me in any way. I made choices thinking it would make people love me. Not the best way to help myself but it did help me survive.
Oprah says when you know better you do better. I know better now and I try to do better.
We all need support. We all need help. We wouldn't of come to this life in families if we could do it alone. Obviously the Lord knew I was going to need a lot of help because he placed me in a family of 7 sisters and a brother, my parents and I have also had some amazing friends.
So when I'm stressed I lean on them. I ask for help or support. I get advice and I listen, watch, and pay attention. We have to take action. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is insanity.
I changed by learning new ways to see people, situations, and myself. My path was started on my mission for my church. Than I was lucky to find Fearless Living. Which I have used to change my life into a life where I can see my own ability and power. I am always striving to be better and do better.
I use my tools to fight off fear and pray myself forward. Stress still comes. I still cry and hide from time to time. But I know how to get out of the funk faster and I know how to keep it all going forward. I keep asking for help and for what I need.
So thank you! Because if you're reading this most likely you have helped me.
