Sometimes life hits and we fall to the ground and do not know how to get up. It is easy to stay on the ground, all beaten up and exhausted. I have personally been there, I ended up in a cycle of negative thinking and self destructive behavior. Every time I looked at my life, I got consumed with major anxiety and hopelessness. I was in a very dark place and was going through a breakup. I lost my motivation and felt that I had nothing to look forward to. In other words, life kicked me down! But I did not stay there, I got up! I did not do it in the blink of an eye, it took time and it was a process but I managed. I can say that I am in a much better place today, both mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I am not where I aim to be yet, but I am not where I used to be. I know that there are people who have been kicked down and beaten up by life and I would like to help them get up because I know what it feels like to drown in hopelessness.
