Life’s challenges and changes can feel scary. Whether it’s putting yourself out there after a breakup, taking a risk, or just trusting that you can handle what comes next, fear has a way of making everything feel like it’s “too much.” But here’s the truth: you’ve got more emotional reserves than you realise. 💪
Here are three ways to check your emotional bank balance and remind yourself that you’re stronger than you think:
Think back to a challenge you’ve already overcome
Ask yourself: What’s one tough thing I’ve been through that I didn’t think I’d make it through—but I did? 🌱 You’ve done hard things before. That strength is still with you, ready for what’s next.
Look for the small wins
Ask yourself: What’s one small thing I’ve done recently that shows I’m moving forward, even if it didn’t feel like much at the time? ✨ Small wins matter—they’re adding to your emotional bank and building your strength every day.
Recognise when you’ve bounced back before
Ask yourself: Can I think of a time when I felt like I couldn’t keep going, but somehow, I did? 💖 Even in the hardest times, you’ve bounced back before. That resilience is part of you now, ready to support you again.
Next time you’re afraid of what’s ahead, trust that your emotional reserves are there to lean on. You’ve been through tough times before, and you’ve built up more strength than you realise. Whatever happens, you’ll handle it. 💛
Have you ever thought about your emotional reserves before? 💛 It’s easy to forget the resilience we’ve built along the way. If you’ve ever surprised yourself with your own strength, feel free to share—it might just remind someone of their own
