3 Ways to Disrupt Hard Moments

Let’s get right into it.

Because odds are if you’re reading this, you are fed up with someone or something.

You are probably feeling unloved, unwanted, abused or just down right pissed off!

I GET IT!!

You’re having a hard moment.

What I’m about to say may not necessarily tickle your fancy. 3 ways to disrupt your hard moments. This advice I’m about to give may not even be what you want to hear. Nonetheless, I truly believe it’s what changed my life and made me a woman I am proud of today. Not to mention, my life just got better!

Note this: To master your life, you must be on a relentless pursuit to master yourself.

Here’s why you need to learn how to DISRUPT hard moment.

There’s been so many years I missed out on a happy life holding on to ONE hard moment that should’ve lasted minutes, but lasted years. Either I said or did something that I wish I hadn’t, or something was done or said to me, that I just couldn’t forget… let alone fully forgive.

These 3 steps aren’t for everyone, it’s for those who truly don’t want to MISS OUT ON LIFE anymore!! For those who are ready to master life’s hard moments.

First thing: Disrupt the moment with W o r s h i p

IMMEDIATELY, and I mean immediately! When a hard moment strikes out of nowhere, Master the art of immediately turning that moment into worship! Worship doesn’t have to be a song… and it doesn’t have to be deep. Worship is the immediate invitation for God to come and BE WITH YOU (in) the hard moment. It can be a dance, a poem, cooking, singing, whatever!! The point isn’t how you do worship, it’s who you do it with, GOD. The initial thought after being hit with a moment like that, however, will probably NOT be to worship. It will be quite the opposite at first. It will be to yell, cuss, drink, smoke, cry, sulk or isolate. Maybe even to cut off and harden your heart to people and things.

Yes, this will take intentional repetition. You are reprogramming your normal default responses to SING instead of YELL. DANCE instead of isolate. WRITE instead of shaming yourself.

Worship takes the focus off of you and puts the focus on you and God, together. Dwelling. Talking. Figuring it out. Worship reminds you, you are not alone in this hard moment, your helper is there…. immediately invite Him in.

Secondly: Disrupt the moment by Moving Your B o d y

Have you ever gotten into a heated argument and your arms all of sudden start swinging in the air as you talk? Or has some bad news come in and you just wanted to go take a nap because you were absolutely over it?!! Or have you ever been extremely energized and excited one moment and then BOOM something unexpected happens and all the energy you had magically disappears and you rather put on Netflix and sit on the couch all day?

It’s because the hard moment emotionally has now manifested and f0und a way into your body. Resulting in naps, swinging of arms, or just straight up fatigue (no energy.)

BUT YOU CAN CHANGE THAT!

Here’s what I do… when the moment comes, I quickly take my hands and move the air around me, away from me. Imagine something is trying to come into your personal space… a thought, idea, lie, and you push it out. I say “This is not mine. This negative thought is not mine. This pain is not mine. This anger is not mine. I release it from my body, my space and my life.” Repeat this as many times as necessary. In this moment you are taking authority over what is physically trying to happen - which is, oppression and depression wanting you to do nothing physically. A shut down. When we are physically shut down, we can not finish the work God sent us here to do. It is NOT his heart for you to have fatigue, tiredness or anxiety. Take authority over the moment by moving it and moving through it, Physically!

Thirdly: Disrupt the tendency to become the V i c t i m

Ouch!!

When we are in hard moments, our focus can be on everyone and everything else. What they did, what they said, how they treated you… but we often forget the most important thing is the part that we played in it all. When we slow our hearts down to see what God is trying to teach us about ourselves, we quickly discover theres a bigger lesson behind the current madness. Remember this, When we take accountability for our words, our actions and our motives, we instantly kill all pride and all ego only leaving space for only compassion and love. Realize that the power lies IN YOU and it’s always lied in you. Don’t accept the negative energy trying to set up house in your heart, which then will build rooms of resentment, bitterness and lies. Reject it COMPLETELY.

Take accountability, push it out of your space and Worship!

AND THEN GET BACK TO YOUR KINGDOM ASSIGNMENT.

It takes practice.

It takes repetition.

It takes patience.

But this is who you are committed to becoming. Someone who has mastered DISRUPTING any and everything that isn’t sent by God so you can finish your Kingdom Assignment!
