To anyone who’s feeling stuck or tired….

Hi! This is kind of a letter to anyone and everyone feeling suppressed and suffocated.

I know how it feels as I have been combating this since a few months now. It seems as if you’re in an endless loop of trying harder and harder but still aren’t likely to reach anywhere and ultimately retreat to square one. You feel imprisoned in your own protective shell and tend to think that you are in a rut. This phase often appears to one as a lifetime of dejection, downheartedness and hopelessness.

Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that it is just a short tunnel of temporary darkness, you will eventually traverse it and will find light again. What I intend to say is that whatever you are feeling is valid and at the same time momentary and thus, you would be able overcome it and would again start feeling yourself. No matter how hard it seems, just chin up and be patient. Be resilient! Don’t give up whatever it is that you are trying to achieve. You would definitely attain your goal one day if you keep persevering. Just hang on there, leave no stone unturned to prevent negative emotions from overpowering you and you will gradually be able to liberate yourself from the feelings that make you feel trapped. You have come this far already, if you step back now, all your efforts would go in vain and you would feel remorseful about it for the rest of your life.  In this phase where you feel mentally exhausted, it is also necessary that you practise self-love and you don’t be harsh on yourself. Take out time for yourself, meditate or do yoga, journal and put things off your chest and simply do a thing or two daily that truly makes you happy and content. Also, practise affirmations if that works for you. Keep reminding yourself why you are doing whatever you are doing. In the end, everything falls in place though it is not plain sailing to believe that but it is indeed true. If, God forbid, anything unwanted or bad happens, that too is for your own good. We just need to zoom out to look at the larger perspective.

Hope this helped whomsoever needed this and I wish you feel better soon.😊
