Get Your Life Back On Track!
5 steps to deal with helplessness.
Helplessness is a feeling of not having anyone to share your problems with who would help you and not ask anything in return. You feel abandoned and lost. It could be a devastating point in a relationship or career. It could be that your family is not supporting a decision you made or maybe that you do not have the means to achieve something you want to.
Helplessness makes you vulnerable and at times force you to make harsh decisions. It makes you believe that there are only two ways and you are standing at the diversion. This is the narrative your brain will use to infiltrate your mind. And very cunningly it won’t mention the brevity of the state of Helplessness. As you stand at the diversion, your brain clouds the vision of the forest which embraces both the roads. And the fact that there are hundred other forests out there to choose from. And mountains, plateaus, oceans and deserts. IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. The creator who so cautiously decreed an angle of 137.5 degrees to every dull and beautiful sunflower have just left two boulevards for you to choose from? NO!
Now, I will not tell you that think positive and put the negativity aside. NONSENSE. It does not happen like that. You feel positive when you are in a positive environment and negative when you are in a negative one. So what should you do? THIS ⬇️
1. Acknowledge
First, acknowledge that you are helpless at the moment. You do not have a person around you with whom you feel comfortable sharing your situation. You do not have anyone around you who can help and will not laugh at your back or get stressed for you.
Second, acknowledge that it is momentary. IT WILL PASS.
2. Cry
LET IT OUT. We are dependent beings. There is nothing to be ashamed of the fact that you want a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on and a chest to rest. CRY.
3. Play with your emotions!
While you are crying, pick up an object. A pen and paper, a keyboard, a table, a baseball, your skates, guitar. Anything you like doing. And play with it. Sing an emotional song or jot down your cry on the paper or dance out your pain or beat the table in the rhythm of desolance. Harness the power of your emotions and entrench them into your art.

Relax.
4. Think…
Think if somebody else was in your shoes and you could help them, what would you do? Think, if you had the power, resources and network, how would you help the people who are going through the same things as you? THIS! This very thought is, what you are living for! This is what you are fighting for! And it is worth every second of your life.
5. Concoct.
Weave a dream. A dream where the crossroad deviates into a billion roads. Concentrate and choose what you want at the end of your road. A stable family? A successful career. A happy puppy? A huge house? A peaceful country? A cordial society?
Reckon that it is possible to achieve.
Think about the next act of rebound. Completing an assignment? To look for a new job? Report abuse? Speak up for injustice? Leave an unproductive place? Finish a project? Learn a new skill?
Select any damn road and decide to reconstruct it in a way that people in your situation would need.
6. STARTOVER.
Because somethings need to end for better beginnings.
