Why It is okay not to be okay?
How do you answer the question “How are you?” is it with a simple, “I’m good,” or, “I am not fine but I know this too shall pass.” But are you really okay? Or just pretending?
We have a habit of constantly trying to make other people and ourselves “feel better.” We must learn to accept the fact that sometimes it’s really okay not to be okay. We must let go of the concept that if we are feeling the pain we are weak or something is wrong with us. Sometimes it's okay to cry it out. Crying is not a sign of weakness. It is okay to feel pain. It is okay to feel frightened because of uncertainty. It is okay to feel alone and lonely.
“It is really okay to not be okay!”.
It will definitely pass. Yes, it is temporary. But you can use it to strengthen
your faith and honor your emotional experience by not avoiding the pain. Just
for today, acknowledge your emotion and show up for whatever you're feeling.
(just a random thought)
Happy weekend everyone!
