Get Out Of Those Feelings
So I've been in a funky mood for the past few days...It happens. As humans we have the ability to experience a plethora of emotions. Sometimes all at once. Sometimes they come in waves. Sometimes we have no idea what we're feeling at all. This is completely natural, however as a business owner I can't be LED by those emotions.
While staying in the funk, I missed out on meaningful interactions, an amazing event and I don't want to think about what else. Being purpose-driven as opposed to emotion-driven is the real game changer here. Had I remained true to my purpose I would have mustered the strength to pull myself from the dark "cry me a river" state and SHOWN UP!
Get yourself together girl!
The steps I took to tap into my secret resilience superpower went as follows:
- Submerged self into the most motivational sermon I could find on good old YouTube (TD Jakes - This Is Not The Time To Lose Your Head) but any motivational speaker will do if you're not into religion
- Got super clear on my goals & my why's - My Passion Planner is always good for that!
- Mapped out the next tiny steps that I can take to get there. Tiny steps because analysis paralysis is real and you don't have to have it all figured out
- Created a "You Did That" list - which basically highlights my biggest accomplishments for those moments when I beat myself up at the thought of not having done more with my life
Do you have any tips that you'd like to share? How do you activate your resilience superpower?
