Are You Desirous of Coming Back From Your Setbacks?

I have stopped by to empower you to release yourself from the emotional/psychological prison that might be holding you hostage. You need to break free from that.  It is a process, and you have to start somewhere.

1. You should conduct a thorough introspection to correctly identify the source of your setbacks

   These could include trauma, drama, devastation loss, pain etc. Throughout this process, be honest to yourself and to others. Stop living in denial you must confront whatever it is, to be helped.

2. After you have painfully identified the source of your setbacks, be intentional/deliberate that you will no longer be imprisoned by this and be willing to change your perspective I.e. to have a mental shift. Start looking at your setbacks through a new pair of lenses.

3.  Having a change in your perception will allow you to experience a change in your behavior. Now that you have started on this journey, although you might have to do some detours along your path due to different idiosyncrasies of life, don't loose sight of your destination i.e. to come back from your setbacks, just stay focus on the desired result.

4. Maintain proper control over your thought process, be mindful of the moment and endeavour to change your negative default to that of a positive one.

5. Despite your experiences, there is always something to be grateful for and start giving thanks knowing that it could have been worst.

   
   

   Please follow me, I have no intentions at all to bore you, instead to empower you to come back from your setbacks, so let's continue...

   
   

6. Tell yourself that, despite where you have been and where you are at, develop a positive mental picture of where you want to go, and you will not settle for anything less. Also, you must be resilient to achieve your goal here.

7. Remember at the initial stage of this journey you have conducted an introspection? Yes, you did, so whatever it was that you have been thinking about the longest, unconsciously, this is your strongest setback and that's where your focus should be!

8. Another suggestion here is that you must "re-program your subjective judgment and your belief system. These can be debilitating and crippling. If you don't, then you will be imprisoned by your negative past and not be able to embrace your bright future. That doesn't sound like a place you want to dwell for much longer!

Therefore, now that you have established that you want to serve a permanent notice on these things and is ready to have a change of address I.e. a bright future, start unpacking your load and one of the most effective ways to do that is via forgiveness. This is a resounding suggestion to let go off the hurt, bitterness, pain, anger, resentment etc. Forgiveness includes forgiving those who have contributed to you being in a place of setback or it could be because of your own disobedience, stupidity, lack of vision etc.  Upon that premise, forgive others as well as yourself.

Forgiveness is both horizontal and vertical, so after you have extended forgiveness to others and have received forgiveness from God you have to learn to receive it from Him and release yourself

I hope that this post will enable you to embark on this rewarding journey of coming back from your setbacks. fasten your seatbelts as this journey might be filled with turbulence!
