Make a Difference….
Do you ever feel weighed down by life’s pressures? You know the feeling. Too many tasks and too little time. Too many demands but not enough energy. It’s a common complaint in our highly-stressed world where people don’t have the opportunity to rest completely and recharge their batteries. We see the results in the record number of prescriptions for stress, anxiety, insomnia and depression. Clearly, something needs to change.
A major part of the problem is that we don’t feel that we make a difference. It’s this sense of futility and a lack of personal empowerment that often leads to burnout and depression. The question today is how to break free from this cycle of negative belief and introduce a more positive mindset that will benefit our health, our wellbeing and our plans for success.
When you feel that you’re struggling against the odds and don’t seem to be making any progress, there is an excellent way for you to take back the initiative in your life. Rather than dwelling on the frustrations that you’re facing, turn your attention towards helping someone else. Are you surprised? This change in perspective can lead to a powerful adjustment in your mindset. When you help someone, even in a minor way, you recognise that you're fully capable of making a difference to the world around you. It’s a superb way to remind yourself that you’re still capable of creating positive results. When you help another, you introduce a change in focus that can help you to see your problems in a new light. You feel more confident. More creative. Your expectations shift towards an active approach to solving your issues. And you feel better because you’ve made a difference to someone else’s day. It’s a virtuous cycle of positive energy that's bound to make you smile.
