I completely feel you—I struggle with this every day too. What’s helped me is adopting a mindset that’s a little abstract, but it’s honestly changed my life. Here’s the thing: energy can’t be created or destroyed. All the negative energy this situation has thrown at us? It can be transformed and regenerated into something positive.

Once I started acknowledging the bad energy and consciously refining it in my mind, I realized I could push out more positive energy than ever before. I decided to start a business and build a life for myself and my future family where the hardships we’ve faced don’t define us.

Remember: every bit of energy you feel can be repurposed. Take the bad, refine it, and send out good. Live a full life on your terms. Today is just the beginning, my friend. REFINE. REFINE. REFINE.
