How do you step out of sadness?
It’s polar opposite of what we think or want to do. It’s to give thanks.
But do ask yourself, are you living in abuse too? Or is this bondage to a bad attitude of sadness?
Tears leaked as I sat next to friend, Kay, in church. Currently, I have a lot happening in my life. Good and challenging and yet on Saturday night, I learned of a sad story, that could’ve sucked me backwards if I allowed it. But, I chose NO!
How do you step out of sadness?
Sadness was one of the hardest things to release and cast off in my journey to embrace JOY. I lived in sadness for years and hid it, as I grieved in an abuse. I could not show the sadness, as I was then accused. Oh, I tried to get empathy and explain it to him, the man that I was married to. But, in abuse, it is always spun back on you and it was.
I was told:
- It’s always my fault.
- I am too sensitive.
- Always told I look for it.
- And then told, I should not feel sad.
- And told, to “buck up”.
How do you step out of sadness?
Now out in freedom way and out of abuse, I stay on high alert to not fall down in that pit.
