I should add that it is probably best to distance from toxic people at this time. I had a few interactions with some very negative people and it contributed to my low mood.
Maybe you are right, HH, I am fairly resilient when left to myself.  |
Oh yes, distancing from negativity and toxic people is absolutely necessary for self preservation.
And yes, being grateful is definitely a blessing, and you are experiencing that now. Having gratitude for even the smallest things can bring a sense of greater peace and contentment in life.
And you know, when we're left on our own and when we're left to rely 100% on ourselves and ourselves alone, we can find that we can be far stronger than we ever may have thought. I think that's what I meant by strength can be found. It does build up one's strength to be alone, and it takes a lot of courage and fortitude. So perhaps this is strengthening you in ways that you didn't know existed.
