What I Wished I Did
Differently (Part 1)
Put God first
I wish I put God first in the beginning of everything I went through. God wants to help us all, but we have to invite God into our lives and talk to God more. I invited God into my life when my divorce proceeding was about to end. This made the process a lot easier to deal with. So, invite God into your life always.
I starting going to counseling in 2024. I wished I did counseling in the beginning of my journey. When we go through situations it is best to talk to people and not hold things in. If you do not want to do counseling then you can pray, talk to God, start journaling, do something to express yourself so you are not holding your feelings in.
Do not take things personally
I wished I had known not to take things personally at the beginning of my journey. When we encounter a mean person saying hurtful things to us or someone judging or criticizing us harshly, do not take things personally. The person is projecting to you how that person feels about themselves. If you love yourself, there is no way you can be so mean to someone else for no reason. People that hate themselves are mean to other people for no reason.
Some people do not deserve a second or third chance
My opinion: Do not let anyone back into your life who treated you like you are nobody, who is unfair to you. Also, this applies to the other people who are on the bandwagon that treated you badly, as well. Their negative spirit does not belong near you and should not be around your positive spirit. Stand on business and cut them out of your life, you will live a peaceful life without the negative people. You might be considered mean because you will not let them back in your life, it is what is it. Move on and move forward without them.
Focus on me
I wish I had known to focus on myself at the beginning of my journey. I did not realize that some people's main focus was to trigger me. The biggest thing that used to get under my skin was when friends, that I made during my marriage to my ex, would exclude me from social events. In many cases, I realized that they were trying to get a reaction from me. In the beginning of my journey, I was too focused on what people were doing to trigger me. I had to learn not to worry about what other people were doing and just focus on me. I had to learn to ignore them, invite God in my situation and focus on myself. Some people want control over you. So, do not play their games and focus on yourself.
