Having A Tough Time

I believe that you have to be open about your own struggles.  The last few days have been pretty tough, I can definitely feel myself heading backwards to a place of negativity, frustration and sadness. 

The last few years I’ve fought many battles within myself and with the people around me.   I’ve been at the point where it seemed as if all hope was lost and that there was no way I could overcome and beat what was inside my head.   But, I made the decision that I was going to give it my all and turn things around.   I knew that I had role models around me who encouraged me and were there to help me but I had to take the first step.

I still have to make that decision every time I feel that negative mindset creeping back in.  Am I going to let it get the better of me or am I going to fight back to be the stronger influence?

My biggest role model and the person who is there to help me is my dad.  So when I’m starting to struggle he is the person I know I can rely on to sit down with me and chat.  He helps me to stay away from going backwards, to understand what’s going on in my head and how to communicate it with others.  So today I sat down and had a chat with my dad and came away feeling stronger.
