The Healing Corner: One Situation From A Breakdown

Have you ever felt like you were one incident or situation from a BREAKDOWN? Like if one more thing happens, or doesn't happen you don't know what you will do?? Have you ever considered that the breakdown that you are experiencing may be the door to your BREAKTHROUGH?

The term breakdown means to give up due to life's circumstances... to "breakdown"...

(The word is a noun, but is defined as a verb..weird right?)

Breakdowns may look differently depending on ones faith, their support system, and their resilience. 🙏🏽 Breakdowns can cause kicking and screaming, crying, yelling at others, or some may say nothing at all. A breakdown can cause one to give up hope and it can slow progress in one' s healing.

For some, losing something like their utilities or internet service can cause a breakdown, home foreclosure for someone else may send them over the edge and cause them to have a breakdown. Losing access to a phone can be breakdown provoking for some, while losing a job may be for others. Relationship problems and thoughts about what others think or say about someone and their decisions can definitely cause an emotional overload and lead to a breakdown. The transition of a loved one or a pet can cause a person to feel overwhelmed and lost, leading to a breakdown. For many, any of these situations can cause a feeling of having no control, and perhaps a desire to throw in the towel, and a BREAKDOWN.

For me, there is no one particular situation that is leads me to experiencing a breakdown.. When things become difficult I sometimes desire to stay in bed and not deal with the world or the people in it. I sometimes shut down and close out the people closest to me, and oh yeah.. I cry as needed, YES I CRY- it is cleansing. I experience these behaviors in response to my circumstances because I am human, and while I am sure things will work out, sometimes the lens is clouded and I really can't see it happening. 🔎

Recovery is KEY...🗝️

What if whenever I had a difficult situation or a less than ideal circumstance, I stayed in my feelings of being overwhelmed and of doubt because of the unknown. Well, the first thing that comes to mind is if I give up then I don't know how it will end. If I give-in to this breakdown, and give up then I won't experience my BREAKTHROUGH. A breakthrough is a sudden or dramatic discovery or advancement, it is a quantum leap forward, a shift in energy. Your breakthrough is the reward for being resilient, for activating that super-power called faith, and not giving up

You have the power to NOT allow your breakdowns keep you from your BREAKTHROUGHS. The uncomfortable situations and circumstances are what makes you fit for your wonderful future! They make you better so that you can handle the goodness that is about to come your way.

CHALLENGE...☝🏽

Practice dancing in the storm, literally, when difficult circumstances happen DANCE.... into your breakthrough, That way you'll be up and ready when it happens. 😉
