Feeling less than awesome? Let's commiserate.
But first, close the news apps.
Grab a cup of decaf tea and move to a place with natural light and maybe a fireplace, depending on the season.
Take care of your physical needs first, then, let's talk.

How did we get here?
WTF happened and why are so many things out of our control? Why do multiple bad things happen at once? And why are there so many phrases about bad times?
I don't know either, but it may help to remember that news headlines, while sometimes true, are made to sell ads.
It's likely that the people making you miserable are miserable themselves and it makes them feel a little better to bring you down. Sometimes things don't happen for a reason, they just happen and it sucks.
Usually, I have to hang out in the ditch for a while before can I climb back out. Life is a bumpy ride, so when things are good, I celebrate, even in small ways.
Even better, when things are broken, I also celebrate in small ways. The ditch is a great time to update your website ; ) or watch mindless TV shows, or take yourself on a date.
In the scheme of things, our problems are relatively insignificant. When I'm done panicking and obsessing about my problem of the moment, I take action and move on.
- This too shall pass.
- Everything happens for a reason.
- Life goes on.
- It gets better.
- When it rains, it pours.

Fix the problem
You don't have to solve everything now. Live in the ditch for a while and enjoy the downtime. Get some perspective. Then, go start being awesome again. xox |
