I loved her more than life itself. \u00a0When she died, the world as I knew it crumbled into tiny pieces and scattered in outer space.\u00a0 I could not control her death, but I did control my reaction to her death.\u00a0 I went to a grief counselor. \u00a0We worked out how I could move on without her.\u00a0 Then I volunteered at a nursing home to give thanks for her life and her love.\u00a0 I felt much less depression and anxiety because I maintained control of how I reacted through the grief process.<\/p>\n<p>Then on Easter Sunday this year, \u00a0I made more life lemonade. I felt anxious and depressed but I maintained control of my reaction. Instead of keeping my feelings inside, I wrote about them to try to help others. I felt better about my holiday struggle.\u00a0 Then I woke up the next day with no regrets and my depression and anxiety separated from me.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot control life\u2019s challenges.\u00a0 But you can control how you react to them.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">When you control how you react to a challenge,<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">you are still in control.<\/h4>\n<p>When you remind yourself you are still in control, you reduce depression and anxiety.\u00a0 To further reduce your depression and anxiety, you take control further by using the situation to help someone else.\u00a0 When you feel better, your PTSD does not bug you as much.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">You can turn your challenges into \u201clife lemonade\u201d.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the encouraging words in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\">bobbiejrae<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/eagle\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\/the-fire-of-the-soul\/\">What does the fire of your soul do to others around you?<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\/succeed-like-weed-near-river-bj-rae\/\">Succeed in spite of adversity like a weed does.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/category\/change-world-near-river-bj-rae-eagle\/\">Yes, YOU can change the world!<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\/this-call-near-a-river-bj-rae-eagle-encouraging-words\/\">Make this important call.<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Enjoy BJ\u2019s encouraging words<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/bobbiejrae.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1579875352647000&amp;usg=AFQjCNE0G44WIiapVombUEvlZoyemNev7w\">bobbiejrae.com<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">BJ\u2019s encouraging books are available<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">on Amazon.com<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/cloud-people-bj-rae\/1143106307?ean=9781958729960\">Barnesandnoble.com<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s books<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for people<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">you care about today!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When life gives me lemons, I make lemonade.
