"UGH ๐ซค Why is this happening?!?"

So...what do YOU do when you're not feeling "great"? Sometimes you're full of energy (hopefully) Other times you're super mellow...or maybe even exhausted. Overflowing with optimism + confidence here. And then..."I think my brain (or other body parts) blew a fuse" over there. It doesn't matter if you're๐๐๐ โ
Starting a business You've got up days (hopefully lots of them) + days where EVERYTHING goes wrong! Maybe it only lasts a few hours (but...I already know you've got NO TIME for this with your mountain of stuff to do, right?) Your to-do list is giving you a dirty look - impatiently waiting for you to get off your butt! Been there. Done it. And I'm so sorry you're stuck in it at the moment So here's what you can do to turn it around (and one of these usually works) ๐๐๐ โ You will never meet someone more impatient with themselves than me. So...I get how much you want this fixed. But we're slowing down - for just a few minutes - so we can speed up later. You will feel better if you breathe slowly and just focus on that. 2) Whatever you're feeling - REMEMBER it's temporary. It'll pass. The slow breathing + this ๐ will actually help it pass sooner than later. Fixating on what's wrong + how annoyed you are (after thoroughly testing it out) only makes it last longer and feel worse. โ 3) Your body is usually the key to feeling better Sometimes just getting that nervous (or emotional) energy out by walking, breathing, dancing to your favorite song(s) can change everything. IF this is exhaustion, can you take a little nap? If not, slow deep breathing throughout the day has helped me wake up (even when I didn't get enough sleep). โ 4) If all else fails...REMEMBER this โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ This tiny moment in your life sucks but...it's not a deal breaker for your future. Usually, if you do steps 1 to 3, the tension + stress will start to slide off of you (and you'll start to feel well enough to do something). If nothing works ๐ this may be a sign that you need a break right now. Especially if you've been pushing yourself hard (and saying mean things to yourself lately). When you're trying to make big things (to you) happen... Magic can happen when you take regular breaks. How often do you get major insights + brilliant ideas right when you're laying in bed? Or driving somewhere This is the power of pressing pause from time to time ๐ช ๐ฅ IMPORTANT ๐ฅ What do you want to learn more about? I've got decades of experience but I'm not a mind reader...so share what's bugging you or you're curious about! ๐ Always from the ๐ |

Before we go any further...you need to know this ๐ Only keep reading if you're yearning for a career with more compassion + care โก๏ธ because you'll be helping people who are likely at their wit's end (so compassion = must-have)! ๐ Oh yeah...it pays well too (but only if you're a big-hearted person already) โ ๏ธ This isn't something you can fake...

Does it look like I'm just writing about what grinds my confidence into dust? ๐ It's true...but also I hear this sentiment from LOTS of people! Side note - People with serious soft + hard skills say this to themselves (although it's usually about their highly-lucrative soft skills) You may think your hard skills (like web design, proofreading, bookkeeping, graphic design, copywriting, etc) are the big important skills. They are....but it's your soft (and usually invisible to you) skills that...
Ever wake up not in the mood...for whatever's on your to-do list today?
