Daily Love & Life Advice – Your Guide to Navigating Relationships
If a situation has skewered your heart, you’re probably dealing with issues of trust. Perhaps you’re considering whether it’s safe to stand in your emotions because you recognize the vulnerability of your position as you work through issues of remorse, guilt, or sorrow.
Part of the challenge is that the picture of what you desire is not aligned with the reality of what is, and the facts are difficult to face. Of course, there’s always the possibility that your imagination has run away in the direction of the worst-case scenario. Doubt is creating stress and depression, and at this point, you may be so consumed with what or who you want that it’s beginning to wear on your health.
But you don’t need to put on a brave face to cover shame, embarrassment, disappointment, or disillusionment, you just need to believe in yourself. Despite your worries, you do have options and support from others. It may be time to reconsider choices you once avoided for whatever reason—pride, emotions, or principles—and think about possible alternatives. The less willing you are to do so, the longer you’ll find yourself in this tenuous situation. Alternatively, if it’s your own conscience keeping you up at night, don’t expect to find peace until you balance the scales with apologies and amends for the hurt you’ve caused.
