All Those Times When I Thought About Giving Up All

Leaving everything means “restarting.” In turn, this word implies many interesting dimensions that should be considered. Many times, I thought of giving it all up and starting from scratch.

A “restart” means taking it from the beginning, keeping our essence, but allowing us to take the step towards what is different. This is, above all, an act of courage and even personal necessity.

Don’t take a moment of anger or exhaustion as a reason to “leave everything.” It is not healty. We want to guide you in these vital moments, in these moments of personal crisis in which a change is the best solution to the deep and irreparable unhappiness.

Our only goal must always be the same: to improve as human beings, to take care of our emotions, to be kind to ourselves and to live healthy.

All those times when I thought of giving up everything

There are times when we feel like drifting ships.

• We have a job that violates our rights as a person.
• We live in a painful and toxic emotional relationship in which we end up losing our self-esteem.
• We live in a family where we are not respected.

All these examples perfectly outline complex moments. Those vital moments marked by frustration and discouragement. We must say “no” to preserve our dignity. There are times when it is necessary to do this. Giving up becomes the only option.

How to assess whether or not we should take this step

We all have some problems with the people around us. We go through more complex moments than others, with quarrels at work and even with the classic ups and downs with our partner. Difficult times are sometimes personal challenges that we must learn to overcome.

However, there are a number of concepts that will help us decide whether it is necessary to continue the fight or, on the contrary, to leave some connections behind.

• Despite the complexity you are experiencing now, it is your inner voice that will tell you whether it is worth fighting or not.
• At the couple level, we need to look at several issues. Be careful if the other person invests the same efforts, illusions and emotions as you.
• Look at your relational scale. If you always get on the side of resignations, tears and attacks, then there is no other option.

If there is no respect, love is not sincere. If love is not sincere, we will have to start over.

I give up everything: an act of bravery

If he doesn’t love you, don’t beg for love. If you think that the connection with the family is based on blackmail, distance yourself.

If at work you notice that you are destroying your health, you must take action. A stressful job, a bad personal relationship and the lack of support from those close to us force us to “restart”. Doing this is an act of courage. Because, don’t forget, you are the pillar of your own life. If you allow yourself to fall, everything collapses.

Secrets to promoting change

• Be assertive and talk about your needs, about how you feel.
• If you do not perceive changes, if the situation remains the same despite the fact that you have confessed your feelings, it is time to move on.
• You cry if necessary, get rid of the emotional burden, but at the same time, look for solutions. Imagine what you would like to see in the coming months. Think of yourself as happy, calm and balanced.
• That’s what you deserve: calm down. Stop the storms. To achieve this, there is no other option: leave everything and build a new horizon.

You also have to be realistic. It’s not an easy path, but it’s worth the effort.
