How To Leave A Bad Situation

I have witnessed people who have stayed in abusive relationships for fear of the unknown.

This could be a romantic, family or working relationship.

If you are feeling abused, it's time to make a change.

Not everyone is comfortable with change. With change, there is fear of the unknown.

Fear stands for "false evidence appearing real".

There are many options for people to move on.

The first thing to do is ditch the fear of the unknown.

The "What if's?" flood the mind and then fear sets in.

This is where faith comes in.

Have faith...

Faith is foreseeing amazing imaginative things happen.

Whenever the "what if's" enter your mind, think about the outcome you want to have and keep your eyes on the prize.

Don't give up.

In the past I have had to leave a job and a relationship because I did not want to take the abuse anymore.

I was scared to death at the thought of change and the "what if's" came flooding into my psyche.

But I was at the point of no return and knew that change would inevitably come no matter what.

I took a leap of faith, hopped on a plane and left everything behind.

After ditching the fear, I prayed and meditated on my situations.

Praying is petitioning God for what you or other people need, meditating is receiving the answers you need about these situations.

You need to be still and trust God.

But you also need to take action, too.

I received guidance through meditation to proceed.

I kept a secret savings and planned my exit from both the job and my ex.

I also contacted the National Abuse Hotline which is country wide for extra help.

You can also chat with an online agent, too.

What kept me strong was my faith that everything would work out and pictured a good outcome as well as being proactive in making the phone calls and contacts I needed for this change to happen.

It all begins with you.

You have to ask yourself "Is the pain of change worse than the pain of staying the same?"

Really... Which is worse?

Once you've asked yourself this, you will gain clarity on what you need to do

You have to decide for yourself if you want to stay

in the relationship merry-go-round or do a leap of faith.

I hope you take the leap of faith.

Stay strong, stay focused, but most of all stay safe.

Much Love,
