Whether you're feeling knocked down by life, or by Google, or whatever else may be causing issues for you right now, we've all got exactly two choices:
We can either give up, or we can get up.
What's it gonna be? The choice is 100% yours. While we can't control everything in life, we can control this.
You can decide to stay down, or you can decide to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get back up.
And then do the fucking thing!
I'm taking door number 2. What about you?
If you chose door number 2 (KEEP GOING), take these steps:
Step 1: Assess your situation with facts.
Is it as bad as you think it is, or are your emotions overriding logic? That happens a lot when we are feeling down and out.
Even if it is bad, everything is figureoutable. Breathe.
Step 2: Work backwards.
What is the outcome you want to achieve? How will you get there? Even if it feels like 1,000 (or a million!) steps, you can write them out one by one and execute each step as you are able.
A journey of 1,000 miles starts with 1 step... or whatever that saying is.
Step 3: Ask for help.
Ewwww, I know this isn't something any of us want to do... but sometimes it's necessary. It's time to swallow your pride and make a list of people who can help you in some way, shape, or form.
Whether it's watching your kid for a few hours this week while you knock out your to do list, or asking blog friends to share your links and help you grow, SOMEONE CAN HELP WITH SOMETHING.
If you're anything like me, you've been let down by the majority of people in your life - even those who you've helped many times. Don't let this discourage you from tapping into any type of network you can.
It's much easier to ask for help now (even if 10 people tell you no, #11 may tell you yes) than to stay in the same spot you're in (or make the situation worse). Trust me!
If you're feeling like you have nobody to reach out to, hit REPLY and let me know what you're struggling with. I'll see what I can do to help you come up with a brief plan to take your first steps toward success.
Like you, I'm feeling exhausted - but helping people energizes me. So don't feel bad for asking! I literally am TELLING YOU TO.
Rinse and repeat these steps until you reach your goals.
