10 recordatorios para seguir adelante aunque los tiempos se pongan difíciles

We’ve all been there. At the bottom, with nowhere else to go. We were all broken by the world and that’s why it’s very important to know that you can get up again.

Cada mujer de este mundo es un gran ejemplo de guerrera porque todas y cada una de nosotras pasamos por momentos difíciles en un momento u otro, pero ninguna de nosotras se quedó en el suelo. Nos levantamos a nosotras mismas y a las demás.

That why I’m giving you some reminders to help you get through those tough times that seem to have no end.

1. Accept what can’t be changed

Sometimes there are things in our life that are not up to us to change. Those things can make us sad or angry, most probably because we don’t have the ability to influence them.

But what can we influence? The way we look at it, of course. That’s why it’s very important to react to hard times as lessons more than as problems. Las lecciones nos hacen más fuertes!

2. Tears aren’t a sign of weakness

If you have the urge to cry then don’t hold back! Tears are never a sign that you are weak—from birth they’re a sign that you are alive.

You can’t shut down your emotions and there is no reason to do so. You simply need to accept that your emotions are a part of you and that you need to cry in order to cleanse all the bad things that happen to you.

3. Suelta

Holding grudges only makes you feel sad or angry and it doesn’t even affect the other person. So why bother with it in the first place? You don’t need to fill your life with unnecessary misery that doesn’t have anything to teach you. So, let go.

Let go of all the grudges you’re holding against someone or against the world. It’s simply not worth your precious time or your heartache.

4. It doesn’t matter what others think of you

It’s not important what someone else says about you. Let them gossip. Let them be occupied with your life because they don’t have lives of their own.

You need to know that you are perfectly fine without those jealous and miserable people who have nothing better to do with their lives. Don’t let it bother you. What’s important is that you know that you are lovable and precious. Let them think whatever they want.

5. No estás solo

Cuando los tiempos se ponen difíciles tendemos a olvidar que hay gente ahí fuera que nos quiere más que a nada. Esas personas son muy importantes en nuestra vida y nunca deberíamos olvidarnos de ellas.

We are never out there completely alone, because there will always be someone who will be there for us in the middle of the night when we feel insecure and fragile. Those people will lift us at the times when we forget how to do it ourself. Don’t ever forget those people.

6. Don’t regret anything that has happened

There’s probably a reason for it. You have been granted an opportunity to get to know yourself better and an opportunity to grow.

Don’t regret your decisions because they shaped you into the person you are today and you should be proud of all the things you’ve learned and all the situations that turned you into the badass woman you are today.

7. Pasará

Remember the last time you thought that your life was a mess and that you wouldn’t be able to survive it? Well, you did. You are still here. You have the ability to smile and be happy so what made you think that your life is miserable? It’s not.

Everything that you’re feeling right now, all the tears that are flowing down your cheeks, will pass and you will feel reborn. Don’t worry. It just takes time.

8. Sé tú mismo

En este huracán de juicios en nuestro mundo, olvidamos quiénes somos y olvidamos lo que queríamos en primer lugar. Sustituimos nuestras propias esperanzas y sueños por las esperanzas y sueños de la gente que nos rodea y eso nos lleva a sentirnos mal con nosotros mismos y con nuestra vida. Pero, ¿por qué?

No one can be you better than yourself. There will always be someone better than you but you are unique and you should be proud of who you are. There’s no need to feel bad about who you are. You deserve to release everything that you are. The world will thank you.

9. Si alguien quiere estar allí, lo hará

We tend to occupy our mind with people who simply weren’t meant to be in our life. They made us feel unlovable and they made us feel unappreciated but that’s not what we deserve.

Debe ser consciente de que si alguien quiere estar en tu vida, lo hará do everything that is needed in order to find a way to stay there. Don’t bother trying to keep them or giving yourself away too much. If they want to leave, let them go.

10. Your problems don’t define you

You are way more than what you’re going through. You are a beautiful creature who gives the world meaning and it wouldn’t be the same without you.

That’s why you should never let a problem define you. You are way beyond your problems.
