When leaving everything is the only option to save yourself and search for your true life

There are times when leaving everything is the only option. Far from being an act of cowardice or surrender, those who choose to pack their bags and look up at the horizon wear the skin of the truly brave. Because in the end, one gets tired of holding a broken heart, of crying secretly, and Before the wind takes our souls, we must leave.

Leaving everything does not in any way imply forgetting everything we have experienced or uprooting all our identities, all our ties. It is simply about transforming ourselves. To integrate the past, the present and the desire for a future, in the same being, in an entity capable of creating itself and not of “recreating” itself in suffering, in pain, in that which is like a sand castle. At the edge of the ocean, it no longer holds.

Somehow, all of us have reached or will experience this same feeling. That of perceiving that part of what surrounds us has lost its meaning: something has just expired. There are those who have a pressing need to experience new things, while others, what they notice is the prevailing obligation to get away from what surrounds them. For your physical or emotional health.

Be that as it may, leaving everything is not easy. Fear and uncertainty accompanies us in our luggageand although the head tells us “go away”, the heart feels unable to close that suitcase.

We suggest you reflect on it.

Leaving everything is also an act of survival

Something we have talked about on numerous occasions in our space is that Our brain does not like changes. A change represents risk and therefore, a challenge to our survival. However, there is a type of situation where this internal architect of emotions, instincts and behaviors gives us a very relevant wake-up call.

Let’s take an example. We are going through a time of intense stress. Our demanding environment pushes us to the limit. And even we ourselves, far from managing this pressure, let ourselves be carried away by this incessant tide. Now, one morning, when it’s time to take the subway to go to work, our feet and our minds take a different direction. We began to walk and walk, until almost without knowing how, we arrived at the outskirts of the urban center, where only calm, rest, and balance reside.

We needed to “escape”. Our survival instinct suddenly takes the reins and offers us what can help us the most: distance and silence. Our brain does not like changes, but we have to keep in mind that it will do everything possible for you to survive, and therefore That invitation to “leave everything” translates into a need for “self-care.” that we cannot ignore.

As a curious fact we will talk to you about John Tierney. This journalist from “New York Times” He wrote a best-selling book titled “Willpower” describing his own experiences with stress, anxiety, and external pressures.

He described how “self-control” maintained over time can destroy us. Living in oppressive situations causes sooner or later what was described above to happen: our brain hits the table to make us understand the following: either we make a change or we simply lose everything.

If your life is not your life, look for your true life

If the existence you lead now does not fit your internal puzzles, leave. If you are a stranger in your own life, go out and find yourself. If the reality that surrounds you now is inhabited by pins, fly. Your physical and emotional health will thank you.

Now, leaving everything is something that only we ourselves can decide. There will be those who find it enough to make small changes to find well-being. However, on other occasions, specific changes are not enough. They do not relieve, they do not heal, they do not repair. We need to take a bigger step to leave more distance in those personal maps that previously defined us.

Here are some strategies to think about.

Keys to search for your true life

When it comes time to leave everything, we must be clear about why we are doing it and what objective we have in mind. Because When a person has a “why” they will be able to go through any “how”. If you promote a change, you do it effectively, to be who you really want: someone happy, someone who takes the reins, someone who gives themselves a new opportunity to be happy.

When we go through these “emotional tsunamis” it is necessary to reflect and talk to ourselves. The best answer about what you should or should not do is within you. Leaving everything behind is not at all “escaping”, we indicated it at the beginning. Therefore, you must make it very clear to those around you why you are doing it. Affirm yourself in your desires and your needs. Take full control of your actions.No one is going to assure you that this change will turn out well, however, it can be the BEST of your life.. Therefore, we must manage fears and uncertainties. How? Transforming them into illusions.

Lastly, remember that our only purpose in this life is to “flourish.” Now, it is necessary to always find the best places, because Not all scenarios are healthy to nourish our roots.
