How I Overcame Depression, Anxiety, and Religion by Tapping into My Spirituality

I'm often asked how did I come to be who I am today. There's really no simple answer to that question however the only thing I can think of is that I hit rock bottom and I had no choice but to pull myself up. There was a day when I was sitting feeling sorry for myself because of my health issues that had me confined to a wheelchair. I continuously pray and pray and pray that everything in my life would become better and it never happened. This particular day I now know that I was able to overcome all of my obstacles by finally believing in myself. Sometimes we work so hard to believe in something else that we want to change our lives that we forget that the primary reason for our existence is believing in ourselves. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you tell anyone else anything? How can you get someone else to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself? You are not a reliable source of anything if you do not believe in yourself. Okay, so long story short, I overcame anxiety depression emotional abuse sometimes physical abuse financial abuse psychological abuse so many forms of abuse all by deciding to believe in myself. I was a wife a mother, a sister, a daughter, I am an employee, a friend, I was so many things to so many different people but I wasn't any service to myself. I spent so much time making sure that I was everything that everyone else wanted me to be that I completely forgot about myself.

Not until I decided to go with n and take care of myself and believe in myself was I able to overcome all of this drama trauma and strife in my life.

At the end game of all of the things that I went through once, they're completely fed up with the situation that I was in that was causing me all of these traumas and dramas I said to myself and I said to everyone around me I come first. Donald's is selfish but it's nothing wrong with being selfish when it comes to taking care of self. How can you be any good to anyone else if you're not good to yourself you have to be on solid ground you have to be of good clear mind to be able to be anything to anyone else outside of yourself. everyone was taken aback everyone was shocked everyone couldn't believe that I was saying what I was saying.

All everyone could say was that I going crazy. I was crazy when I was in that situation where I was allowing everyone to take take take and not give back to me when I was doing all of the giving. I'm still a giving person, however, I give to myself first I make sure that I'm okay. First, I make sure that I have met all of my needs and even my once before I give anything to anyone else. The only way I was able to do that was by digging deep and tapping into my spirituality through meditation constant mine clearing constant affirmations to myself that I'm worthy of everything that I'm manifesting for myself. It is still something that I do daily I look in the mirror at myself; I smile at myself I tell myself, "I love you because I am worthy of all of the love that the universe that my orishas, my ancestors can provide. Believing in yourself is the epitome of self-love. Believing in yourself is more important than anything else that you can do in this world because only you can do what you do to take care of you.
