When I Feel Stuck And Upset
July 31st, 2018
What is troubling me?
Am I struggling with wanting to change something and can’t get perfection?
Don’t let perfection be the enemy of better.
It’s about progress, not perfection.
What’s your goal?
Can you take a small or several small steps in the desired direction?
Change happens little by little, just like habits you build over time.
Sometimes you need to slow down, that’s okay.
In order to do any of this, you need to take care of yourself first. Everything else can wait.
Here are ways I change my state:
Have you eaten in the last 3 hours?
Have you showered today?
Have you gotten dressed?
Have you moved your body in a way that feels good?
Do you need a nap?
Go get some sunshine.
Practice gratitude..
- For how far you’ve come
- For the many privileges you have
- For the blessings of your current life
- For your health
- For your relationships
- For your passions
- For the many ways you’ve grown
- For the ways you’ve contributed to others
- For yourself, and the things you like about yourself
