Choma, Here’s How to Get Through Life’s Tough Times

Life isn’t always about good vibes, Choma. We all face hard times, and that’s okay. What matters most is how you handle them. When life gets tough, here’s how to find direction and support to keep moving forward.

1. Let It Go

Choma, if something in your life isn’t working—let it go. Whether it’s a toxic relationship, a friendship that’s run its course, or even a hairstyle you’ve outgrown, releasing what no longer serves you is key.

Holding onto past hurts can stop you from growing and make you miss out on new opportunities. One way to let go is to accept that the hurt happened. Learn from it, but don’t stay in that space for too long. Slowly release the pain and make room for new beginnings.

2. Take Responsibility to Create Change

Blaming others may feel easier, but it keeps you stuck. Choma, try to notice when you’re pointing fingers. Pause, reflect, and ask yourself:

• Why am I blaming others?
• What can I learn from this situation?

Taking responsibility for your actions helps you grow and take control of your life. It might be hard at first, but with time, you’ll feel empowered. Remember, Choma, the only person who truly controls your life is YOU!

3. Live in the Moment

Living in the present helps you appreciate life as it happens. Instead of worrying about the past or stressing about the future, focus on now.

• Enjoy the small moments.
• Create memories that will make you smile tomorrow.

Feeling guilty about past mistakes won’t change them, and staying stuck in negative emotions only drains your energy. Shift your focus, Choma, and make space for happiness today.

4. Be Thankful for What You Have

No matter how little it may seem, there’s always something to be grateful for. Choma, practice gratitude by:

• Making a list of three things you’re thankful for every day.
• Showing appreciation to those around you—whether it’s through a kind word, a small favor, or simply saying thank you.

The more you focus on the good things in your life, the more positive energy you’ll attract.

5. You Are Never Alone

Don’t bottle up your emotions, Choma. Talk to someone you trust—a friend, a school counselor, or even me, Choma. Sharing your story can lighten the burden and help you see things from a new perspective.

Remember, no matter how hard things get, you are never truly alone. There’s always someone willing to listen and support you.
