Why do people withdraw when they are in pain or facing difficult situations in their lives? This past week, I met two individuals who told me they recently went through a very difficult time in their lives. When we are going through tough painful episodes in life, we often go into isolation mode. This is the wrong approach that keeps us in a state of negative trance or limiting thoughts. During these times, the best course of action is to reach out to a trusted professional or friend to gain a different perspective, share how you are feeling with someone who can hold keep your confidence and positively stimulate you out of your low point. Gossip is the last thing you want to be dealing with when you are in pain so ensure they can hold your confidence. You don’t have to suffer pain and heartache alone.
Find someone who can help you think outside the box, often the answer(s) to your problem is waiting for you to pose the right question and its waiting just outside the box that hold your problems. I want to encourage you today, no matter what you are going through if you change the focus of your thoughts and engage in a positive discussion, you will find yourself gaining some clarity and momentum. We have a form on our website that people complete when they are not sure whether to stay in pain or move forward with support. You are welcome to complete too. It may help you gain some clarity for yourself. Click this link to get help to assess your situation. There is no obligation to filling out this form. We will only call you if you tell us to call you.
