disclosure: this is a collaborative post

Life is something that is both wonderful and challenging. The journey of life is like a rollercoaster since people experience many ups and downs. Although sometimes it can feel like it is hard to keep your head up, you have to remember that you are resilient and that ensuring you take care of yourself in these moments is essential for your well-being.

There are a variety of circumstances that are difficult to deal with in life, and that can leave you feeling down. Whether you are going through a divorce and dealing with divorce solicitors, you have experienced the death of a loved one, or you are dealing with illness in your family, none of these moments are easy to deal with. It is imperative to always remember to practise self-care and make sure you are doing things that can help you cope with painful situations, but these things can be especially crucial when going through tough times. Here are some ideas for ways that you can try to help yourself get through a difficult time in your life.

You’re Not Alone

It’s possible that when going through a difficult situation that you may feel like you are alone. To combat this feeling of loneliness reach out to your friends, your family, or maybe join a support group. You can get support for what you are going through, and you can find ways to talk about how you are feeling. Talking about your feelings can be beneficial, so even if you don’t want to talk to your friends or family, you may want to consider looking into resources for finding a professional that you can speak with.

Activities to Help You

There is evidence that “leisure activities offer a distraction from problems…”. If you are going through a particularly difficult time, then finding something that can take your mind away from it at least for a little while can be helpful. If you have a hobby that you already really enjoy, then maybe you want to make sure you are still making time to do it while you are going through this hard time or you can also try another activity that you have wanted to try for a while. 

Try Putting Pen to Paper 

Writing about the situation that you are experiencing as well as your feelings can be another way that can help you feel better. Writing about other topics could potentially help you as well, for example, maybe you want to write a list of what you are grateful for to remind yourself about the positive things in your life.

It can feel difficult knowing that there will continue to be challenging moments in our lives. Whether it is saying goodbye to a friend, being diagnosed with an illness, or another painful moment, you need to remember that feeling your emotions is essential even if they are challenging to deal with. It can also be helpful to remember that taking care of yourself and trying to do things that can help you with coping with what has happened can hopefully help you feel better.
