Topic: Starting Over By Getting Out

When the dark times come in your life and you need to start over…if you are physically able, you need to get up and get out. No matter how difficult it may be for you, you need to avoid being a recluse. Even if you are working and you are around others all the time at work, you can still draw back into a shell. It is normal and natural for you to want to be alone and being alone for a time is OK. However, being alone all the time is not good. When your starting over times come, you need to avoid the temptation of shutting yourself off from people. You need to get up and get out with others. Taking these first steps can be extremely difficult. Many people feel embarrassed to ask to be part of a group of some kind so they do not ask. This is very unfortunate because if we do not have contact with others when we are starting over, whatever happened to us begins to eat away at us. There are support groups of every kind just about everywhere. Joining a group, whether it is a support group, a dance group, a hobby group, a party group, a condo group, or any other kind of group is one of the healthiest things you can do. You do not have to go through the tough times in life by yourself unless you want to be by yourself. If you are not much of a joiner or much of a social person then you can do volunteer work if your time is not caught up in other activities. If you do not attend church on a regular basis, find a church now. A church family can surround you with love and caring now and in the future. A church family can be of enormous support when you have to start over.
