Traveling through an area, region, city, etc., without stopping for very long or at all. I'm sorry I didn't get in touch with you while we were in Salem, but we were just passing through on our way to Boston. There was supposed to be beautiful wildlife in the area, but because I was just passing through, I didn't have a chance to see any. There are relationships you get into with forever in mind, and there are those you don’t even expect to last until next season. Sure, you might be with this guy because you see real potential — but does he feel the same or is he just passing the time until something better comes along? If you notice these 8 signs, it’s probably the latter. Just passing by to say that you have an amazing blog and a terrific writing, thank you for share it! ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ( ु.⌄. ) ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ truly not enough hearts for you. Thank you to you (and everyone) for reading and supporting me in between these recent sporadic updates. Stay tuned lovely friends!

Do you feel stuck? Do you feel like you are failing in life? Do you feel like you are not getting the things done that matter and you are living one wasted day after another? It can sound dramatic, but when you feel like you are wasting time – precious moments out of your allotted time on this planet, it is an extremely painful feeling that causes anxiety and depression. There are some things to remember to help you feel better during these times. In fact, I guarantee that once you commit these to your memory and start to incorporate them into your beliefs, you will no longer feel like you are wasting your days away.

1. Tomorrow Is A New Day

To help reduce anxiety and depression over a wasted day, week month, or life, one of the best things to remember is that no matter what has happened, tomorrow is a new day. You can start doing what you want to do. You can make it more meaningful and full. You can recreate your life tomorrow if you want!

I want to stress that this is true for everyone, regardless of their life or age. For instance, at the age of 87, Charles Eugster realized that this body was deteriorating. Like most people his age, he felt old. But, instead of letting the rest of his life pass him by in a deteriorating state, he went to the gym and rebuilt his body from scratch! Now he is 96-years-old, and he is considered the fittest senior citizen on the planet by some. Moreover, he has a full life of speaking, writing, and even fashion designing!

2. You Can Force Yourself To Do Things You Don’t Want To

Farhan ali waris nohay 2009 mp3 free download. The chances are good that a lot of things you want to do are hard so you would rather not do them as much as you feel they would benefit your life. In that case, excuses are easy to make, and you go about your day knowing you should do whatever it is, but find it easier not to.

The good news is that you can force yourself to do things you don’t want to do. You do it all the time! You talk to someone you don’t want to talk to. You go somewhere you don’t want to go. You do something for someone else that you would rather not do. You are really good at forcing yourself to do things you don’t want to.

In other words, if you can convince yourself you must do something, you probably will despite how much you don’t want to do it. This is where sitting down and writing out exactly what you want and why you want it is beneficial. It gives you powerful reasons to do something, despite the desire not to do it.

For example, if you have been trying to start working out, then each day you ‘miss’ your workout, you can start to feel as though you have been wasting time. “If I had just started when I wanted to, I would already be fit!” But, you can’t go back in time. You can only decide that tomorrow, no matter what, you are going to work out. Write out exactly what you want to do when it comes to exercise and why you must do it. As you go to bed tonight, read your list and declare to yourself that tomorrow, no matter what you will start working out because you have to. No excuses. If you can do things for other people that you don’t want to do because you must do them, then you sure as hell can do things for yourself that will benefit your life in some way! The declaration to ‘just do it’ will help you take action tomorrow even if you don’t want to. And, once you start getting into the groove of doing what you need to do, it will happen much easier!

3. There Is No Right Way To Live Life

This is one of the things to remember when you just don’t feel good or accomplished enough. A lot of people compare themselves to their old classmates, friends, family, and co-workers. They see other people doing what they think are great things, and that’s when they start to feel like their life is a waste. But, the truth is that we all have different values and different paths in life, so you can’t compare yourself to anyone else.

You don’t need to be the first to accomplish something. You don’t need to accomplish what other people are accomplishing. In fact, you don’t know whether or not they are accomplishing what you think they are accomplishing!

For instance, some people seem to have it easy when it comes to managing their weight. They appear as if they are making great decisions in their life towards nutrition and exercise and that they know they have it all together. But, many of those people think they are not good enough. They are comparing themselves to other people and beating themselves up over not doing what they think they should be doing.

Comparing yourself to others is the ultimate way to feel like life is getting away from you. Of all the things to remember for more life happiness and fulfillment, this might be the number one thing.

4. Focusing On The Present Moment Gives You More Time

© Ijansempoi | Dreamstime Stock Photos

As you think about all the time that has passed, are you think about the present moment? Nope! You can’t be! One of the most important things to remember about life is that focusing on the present moment is what helps you make the most out of it.

In fact, research has shown that when you are focused on the moment, your brain becomes more fully engaged, and you actually perceive time as having slowed down. You start to feel more in control of your life and time, and you instantly feel like you are using your time more wisely.

Think of it this way – when you are on vacation, you probably feel like there is tons of time. You enjoy each moment without anxiety or stress about the future. You take the time to really look around and be present so that you can take in the new sights, smells, and experiences. While you are experiencing your vacation, time seems to be stretched out and the day is longer. Especially if you are on a crowded flight squished in between two people!

The same is true for children. They don’t live in the past or feel anxious about what is to come. Instead, they live in the present moment and enjoy it. They feel like they get the most out of each moment, even if they didn’t get their way. They don’t regret not doing something because they do what feels right in the moment. And, time is never an issue.

If you can live in the present moment, you can shift your focus from the past that you feel has been wasted, and start focusing on what really matters – the here and now. When you are focused on the now, you will want to make the most out of it because it will be so clear how valuable this moment really is.

5. Your Curiosity Can Help You Make More Out Of Your Life

If you think life is passing you by, then there is one emotion that can help you get more grounded in the moment, and that’s curiosity. Being curious helps you act like you are on vacation, which is a great way to stretch out time and make the most of it! Except, since you are at home, you can make the most of it in a way that benefits your everyday life!

Being curious means want to explore and discover. It means wanting to know more about what is happening and really understand it. It means wanting to put aside your worries and thoughts and focus on what is happening in this moment so that you can get a grasp on it.

For instance, if you are with an annoying family member who makes you regret every second with them, then it’s time to get curious! Try to figure out why they think the way they think or act the way they act. You will be amazed at how this shift in perception towards them will help you feel better about the moment and feel more engaged with what is happening.

The next time you start to feel like you are wasting time, get curious. This will help you use your time wisely by learning something new, doing something new, experimenting, and helping yourself to grow in some way. You won’t be able to sit around and do nothing!

As a bonus, the more curious you get, the more you will want to do the things that matter. You will want to see how they play out in your life and whether or not they are going to have the affect you think they will have.

6. You Don’t Have To Follow Routine Every Day Of Your Life

I know plenty of people who feel like life is passing them by because they are doing the same thing day in and day out. Their routines have them stuck in a time warp where one day bleeds into the next, and they never feel like they are really living, even if they are doing things that they enjoy on some level.

When you go on vacation, you not only experience new things, you mix up your routine. You do things that you don’t normally do in an order you wouldn’t normally do it. You wake up earlier. You eat breakfast when you normally don’t eat until lunch. You watch the stars when you normally don’t look at the sky at night. You do things that are not in your everyday routine, and this helps draw out the perception of time being longer even more.

You can do this at home too. Do things differently. For instance, instead of watching TV at night, take some time to spend quality time with a loved one. You will notice that time will seem to expand, and you will feel like you are being more productive with it. You will look back on that time, tomorrow, as if you did something worthwhile, simply because you broke your routine and focused on doing something different that mattered to you.

7. Get In The Flow Of Life

One of the biggest things to remember is that life isn’t going to play out exactly the way you want it to. Stop forcing yourself to do things that don’t align with the way your day wants to play out. Doing that causes you to lose your focus on the present and, therefore, causes you to feel like your time is flying by.

Moreover, doing things that don’t align with who you are will make you feel unhappy, which plays a huge part in making you feel like your life is passing you by!

Staying in the flow will help you make good decisions that benefit you. It will help you be more present and adapt to life as it comes. Ironically, it will help you feel more in control of your life than living by a strict schedule will because you will be able to roll with the punches and overcome obstacles easier. Being in the flow means accepting what life throws at you instead of trying to mold every moment in a particular way.

The fact is that many of us are scheduling our days to look perfect, and when unexpected obstacles arise, our day can no longer work out the way we expect it to. That can cause us to feel like we are not getting what we want to get done, which can cause that whole ‘life is getting away from me’ feeling.

Being in the flow allows you to accept that things aren’t always going to work out the way you want, and allow you to be OK with that when it happens.

For instance, let’s say you have scheduled a bunch of tasks for today that will help you meet your short-term goals. But, you suddenly become very tired and can’t focus on what you are supposed to be doing. You keep trying to push through, but you can’t because the fatigue is making you unable to get anything done. The minutes turn into hours and before long you have gotten nothing done and feel a lot of resistance towards that fact. In fact, you feel like you wasted your day.

Colorvis pc camera driver download. If you had been in the flow, you would have met the fatigue with a realization that it came for a reason. Maybe you were getting sick. Maybe you have been overworking your body. Maybe there is a bigger issue going on. Whatever it is, you would have known that you had to rest before you were able to do anything well, and that realization and acceptance would have helped you feel like you did the best you could for the day instead of feeling like it got away from you.

These days, social media is the norm for staying connected. Everyone sends and receives news updates instantly. Everyone in your network communicates through texting, posting, and responding to online messages.

Jump ahead to these sections:

When news that someone you know has died hits social circles, you may be wondering what is the appropriate response to that news. Should you pick up the phone and call? Should you send fresh flowers or another sympathy plant? Is it ok to send a text offering condolences? How do you comfort someone who is grieving through text? And, how do you console someone whom you only talk to online?

It’s acceptable to send a text if it makes sense for you to do so. If you only talk online or through text, there's nothing wrong with responding to the news by sending a text. Finding the right words to say to someone who’s loved one has died is never easy. Below you will find a few examples of what to say and when it's appropriate to say it.

Comforting Texts to Send to a Family Member

When one of your family members suffers death in their immediate family, it’s a loss that hits close to home. You might not know what to say to express the sorrow that you're feeling. You might think that giving them space during this time is the best thing to do. It's not uncommon to pull away from your loved one.

You might not know how to process death and think that nothing you can say will make them feel better. Yet, the opposite is true. When everyone else has moved on, your words of condolences can have a real impact. A shoulder to lean on during this time goes a long way in helping your family member process their grief. There are several things you can say that will leave a lasting impression.

1. “I'm sorry to hear the news of your brother passing. Please accept my deepest regrets for your loss.”

When expressing your condolences by text, consider the type of relationship you have with your family members.

Decide whether it's appropriate to follow up with an in-person visit, or if texting is enough. Depending on your relationship, it may be better to offer support in-person.

2. “I was deeply saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. She was such a great inspiration to me. Please let me know how I can help you during this difficult time.”

This type of text acknowledges news of death and has a call to action. When a death occurs, there are many end-of-life matters to attend to.

With this message, you are letting your family members know that you have heard the news, how their loved one has impacted your life, and what she meant to you. You're also offering your support when needed.

3. “Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you and your family on your uncle's death. I’m sure that his memory will forever live on in your hearts.'

This condolence message doesn't need to offer any further call to action. Unless you were close to the uncle, a text message is enough.

4. “I’m sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.”

When a family member has suffered a loss of a person whom you didn’t know or didn’t know well, a simple message expressing your sympathy, like 'sorry for your loss,' is both sufficient and respectful in honoring the death of their loved one.

5. “I am sorry for the loss of your dear Fluffy, Aunt Mary. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through right now. Please let me know how I can help you during this difficult time.”

Acknowledging the impact of the death of a beloved pet on Aunt Mary may be able to help during this time. It honors the bond between a pet and its owner while also offering support as you would with the loss of human life. You can even give a pet sympathy gift to provide some comfort as that person grieves.

Comforting Texts to Send to a Close Friend

When a close friend has a death in the family, it's sometimes difficult to approach him with the right words. Dealing with death takes the fun out of friendship, and your response to the news will depend on your communication style. A text message is generally appropriate while avoiding the use of emojis.

A simple “sorry for your loss” text gets the conversation started. It expresses regret and tells him that you're thinking of him. Consider following up your text with a phone call or visiting with a sympathy gift basket or care package.

6. “ My deepest sympathies go out to you, my friend. May you find comfort and peace during this difficult time. Know that I’m here for you.”

These words let your friend know that you are suffering along with him. Offering your support lets him know that you are reliable in his time of need.

Words of support and encouragement offer some of the greatest comforts to someone who is grieving.

7. “I heard the news, my friend. I can’t even begin to understand what you are feeling, but I want you to know that I’m here for you. I’m sending you my prayers and condolences. I’ll be checking in on you to see how you are doing.”

Your friend might not be ready to talk to you when the news first hits, but they need to know that you are available whenever they are ready.

Do what you say you will, by following up at appropriate intervals to check up on your friend.

8. “I was deeply saddened to hear about your brother’s passing. He was like a brother to me. Please offer my sincerest condolences to your family. You have my deepest sympathy.”

This type of text message honors the death of their loved one, offers condolences to the family as a whole, and also adds a personal touch about what the person who died meant to you.

It’s important not to make this about you, so carefully consider the length of your message and words you choose.

9. “I’m sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincerest sympathy.”

Sometimes less is more. When you don’t know what to say to your friend, a text acknowledging what they’re going through is enough when the message is sincere and heartfelt.

10. “I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. I’m thinking of you and your family at this time. Please let me know how I can help.”

When you offer condolences to someone you know and love, it’s always more meaningful when you attach the offer to help in some way.

Their immediate needs may not be clear to them just yet, but knowing that you have offered to help, and following up with that offer, can lessen their burden during this time. download free, software unique training programs.

Comforting Texts to Send to Someone Who Lost a Partner or Spouse

When deciding what message to text to a person who has lost their partner or spouse, keep in mind that they've just lost a big part of their support system. They've yet to realize the impact of the loss on their everyday lives, or how their future lives have changed. Be especially mindful of the grief they'll experience in the coming days, weeks and months.

If it's your partner or spouse who lost a loved one, it's also appropriate to send text messages throughout the day to let them know that you're there for them. A text message offering love and support may come through when a pick me up is needed. You may also want to send a text message to celebrate the life of their loved one on their death anniversary.

11. “I heard the news about your husband’s passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. He was a great friend to me, and I will forever hold him in my heart.”

Social media spreads news fast to everyone connected. If you've heard about a death through social media, let the person grieving know how you heard the news.

Assure them that you’re responding privately, and offer your support. If a condolence board has been set up, it’s okay to post a less personal message. Consider posting only after you've sent a private message.

12. “I am deeply saddened by the loss of your wife. She was a wonderful woman. I will check in on you later to see what you may need.”

This type of message not only comforts the bereaved but reassures them that you may be stopping by later to help with whatever is needed.

Consider bringing a hot meal and extra home-cooked meals, and maybe even some good coffee or tea to sustain them over the next few days.

13. 'Please accept my condolences on the passing of your partner. It is an honor to have known such a great person, and I will truly miss them.”

Condolence messages that are gender-neutral respect the intimacy of the relationship without being too forward in assumptions or leaving a huge question needing to be answered.

What Do You Say After Saying Hi

14. “I was thinking about your husband on this day of his death anniversary. He has certainly made a positive impact on my life. I hope you are doing well.”

Reminding the person who has lost a loved one that you still hold them in your thoughts and prayers may be one of the most supportive gestures you can make.

While most people have moved on with their lives, you are letting them know that you still remember and honor their loved one who has died.

15. “Sending you thoughts of love and prayer to let you know that I am here for you.”

This simple message can be very impactful when sent at the appropriate time in the grieving process.

It’s not only acceptable but encouraged to send these types of messages to your partner or spouse to let them know that you love and support them.

Comforting Texts to Send to an Acquaintance or Colleague

Communicating condolences to an acquaintance or colleague can sometimes seem awkward and uncomfortable. These simple phrases below will help you bridge that gap between feeling awkward and offering genuine words of sympathy to someone you may not know very well.

16. “I heard about your loss. May you find comfort and peace during this difficult time. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.”

Just Passing Through Saying

When you hardly know a person, it may sound insincere to offer your deepest sympathies or to say that you feel their pain.

Just Passing By To Say

It is appropriate to send an abbreviated message of sympathy with a genuine offer to help. You may offer to pick up the slack at work, help them deliver a project, or fill in for them at work.

17. “I can’t imagine what it feels like to have lost a child. I am at a loss for words to say. Please know that I have you and your family in my prayers, and I’m here for you.”

You don’t have to know someone very well to understand that losing a child can be one of the most devastating things a parent can go through.

Letting them know that you can’t express the level of loss they must be feeling is acceptable, and it is much better than ignoring the death.

18. “Please accept my condolences on the loss of your pet, Burrito. He was always a joy to have around the office and will be missed.”

When your colleague loses a beloved pet, they may be mourning the loss as if they have lost a child. It’s important to recognize this loss and acknowledge it with words of sympathy and condolences.

19. “I heard about your dad’s passing. I’m so sorry about your loss. I lost my dad a few years back. If you need someone to talk to, I’m here for you.”

Offering specific and relatable support to an acquaintance lets them know that you genuinely care about them, and have something of value to add to them during this time of pain and bereavement.

You may want to follow up with another message a few days later to let your colleague know that you were sincere in your offer of support.

20. “Please accept my condolences on the loss of your spouse. I’m sure that this is a very difficult time for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.”

This message validates the loss and the grief that your acquaintance must be experiencing without sounding too pushy or waiting for a response from him.
