When you are placed in a stressful situation it is very easy to feel like it is taking over your entire world. Once you feel that you tend to struggle to see the good that it could possibly bring you. Now don’t worry you aren’t the only person who has and will feel that way. Cut yourself some slack, you are only human, we have all been there before. However, there are ways that you can change the narrative. Better yet, you can actually see the positive in the negative.

A negative situation can easily feel like it is going to last for the rest of your life and yes you are completely allowed to feel that way. But you should remember that everything only lasts for a moment. How long that moment lasts is completely up to you. Once you know that whatever negative patch you are going through only lasts for a moment is when you are able to see that everything will be okay. Knowing that everything will be okay is how you see the positive. Handling a bad moment or situation can make anyone feel lonely. After all, you are the one experiencing it and many people might not be able to relate to it.
