Do you ever feel like life isn’t what you thought it would be? 〰️ It’s been hard for me to accept that I am 39-years old (40 in a couple weeks!), single, & childless. 〰️ Probably because I never pictured my life like this at 39-years old. 〰️ I’m not exactly sure where I thought I would be, but I definitely saw a husband and some kids running around... 〰️ The universe has a funny way of keeping us on our toes doesn’t it? 〰️ When life doesn’t go our way, it’s easy to get angry with ourselves, with someone else, or with the Universe...especially if you start imagining what you could have done differently or start comparing yourself to others. 〰️ You feel frustrated, cheated, and ready to give up… 〰️ You wonder, “What do I do when I’ve done my best and I’ve tried everything I can to put myself out there? 〰️ The answer is...SURRENDER. Surrendering does not mean you’re giving up your desires or long-term happiness. 〰️ It means opening your heart and letting go of the need to control the situation. 〰️ According to havingtime.com, “surrendering means sitting back and relaxing your grip...admitting that you are not in control...agreeing to yourself and to the Universe that you are no longer trying to manipulate the circumstances.” 〰️ Surrendering is not easy, but it’s often the only way to move forward. 〰️ Surrendering is the most powerful action you can take to achieve a breakthrough. 〰️ Have I surrendered? For the most part yes...what is meant to be in my life, will be. I have realized that I do have more control over my love life than I thought...I’m surrendering, but also trying to be more open to love...❤️ 〰️ Leave a comment and share your surrender story! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 〰️ Art by @stephaniechinnart #theanxietyhealer #findyourpath #anxietyisreal #anxietyissues #anxietytips #overcominganxiety #anxietytools #anxietyhealing #anxietysurvivor #anxietyrecovery #recoveryispossible #ansiedase #progressnotperfection #ansia #anxietyattacks #ansiedad #healinganxiety #anxiété #ansiedadegeneralizada #surrender #ångest #supportingothers #healing #anxietyfree #anxietyrelief #recoveryjourney #recovery #recoverywarrior #progressivas #healingtakestime
