When you start implementing things like therapy, meditation, journaling, EFT, personal growth, personal development, reading self help books or whatever else it might be, you’ll get to a point where you’re asking yourself if it’s working and maybe if it ever will work.
You might find yourself questioning whether dedicating, time, energy and money to these things is even worth it.
However, it’s important to remember that things take time.
In my experience, I’ve found that the easiest way to tell if it’s working is to pay attention to how you feel.
When you encounter a situation that used to leave you feel anxious and overwhelmed, how does it feel now?
We have a tendency to react to present moments with feelings from the past we’re still holding on to. But, if you’re doing the work and it’s working, you won’t feel the way you used to.
You might feel lighter, neutral, more confident or more capable of solving things.
It’s never that ‘bad’ things won’t happen it’s that you’ll get better at handling them and they won’t impact you so dramatically.
