It’s Okay to Struggle
But Not to Stay In The Struggle
It’s okay to find yourself feeling challenged, a bit overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do with yourself in this beautiful journey you are on. That’s part of being human and living life.
What is not okay is staying in the same challenging place, especially without doing anything about it.Why Your Struggle Can Be Your Breakthrough
When you stop treating your struggles as just something to complain about, and playing the feel sorry for me card, start to look at them as opportunities for growth and breakthrough for yourself. You will then begin to experience the doors of opportunity opening up for you as well as your well deserved breakthroughs in your journey.
I know this may feel different than what you’re used to, but pressing into the struggles and challenges (rather than avoiding it) is where you start experiencing breakthroughs.Stop Pouring Energy into What’s Wrong
What if you spent less time whining and complaining about what's going wrong for yourself, and spend this energy figuring out what you can do about it, ask yourself, “What can I do about this now?”
Don't just be in a reactive mindset but stay strong with a proactive mentality.
Instead of saying, “Everything’s wrong,” try:
“What is it I am capable of controlling?”
“What’s the next step I can take?”
“What life lessons am I learning here?”
Trust the Process (Yes, You Can)
I know this might feel new and a little different, but stay with me, keep reading, and keep self reflecting.
Your mental shift happens when you stop being just reactive in your life, but become proactive.
A Simple Action Plan
To turn this into something real, try doing the following,
Be honest and acknowledge where you are. (“I’m overwhelmed. I feel stuck.”)
Pick one small action you can take today. It might be tiny—but it matters.
Celebrate the successes from your actions. This is important for you to do.
Reflect: What did I learn from my actions? What will I try next?
This is a great opportunity for you to Journal.
Growth isn’t just a giant leap, it’s many small steps so go out and start your beautiful journey now.
Your Breakthrough Won’t Wait Forever
It’s important that you realize that you don’t have to stay where you are. You don’t have to keep wasting time with the things and people that hold you back.
It’s time for you to make the decision to make the shift for yourself. It’s time to become active, and once you choose to move forward, the process of your breakthrough begins.
Don’t let frustration or the “why me?” thoughts keep you frozen.
Stay focused, set simple goals on what you can do right now.
Keep in mind that change starts when you start to act. Just take one step at a time.

Courtney Allee: I find so much joy in helping others and Amy and Argene do just that! I appreciate the honesty, advice, and overall sense of community. It is a judgement-free zone and a safe place to ease your mind in knowing that in life, although you may feel or choose to go it alone, you do not have to. There are kind people in this world.
