What Do You Do When Things Get Really Hard Mentally?
A loved one recently asked me what do I do when things get really hard mentally? When things get hard anytime mentally, there are a few different things that help for me. Below are some things that have helped me over the years.

quote
“Even with so much healing done when two true hearts open up face to face, they may still have tears to shed and less than clear thoughts in their heads.
But tears can be cleansing and rejuvenating. Uncertainty brings opportunity to grow and find clarity. In relationship with ourselves or others, may we observe and process our hearts and minds, may we choose love, joy, and peace as our path unwinds.” Emilyann Allen |

“Delusional or not, maybe if I believe in a better world with enough conviction, and convince others to believe it as well, then it will be real.”

“We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil.”

“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”
