Sometimes I feel like my dreams are so far away from me, and all I want to do is just give up the fight but then I'll have little reminders, or encouragement out of nowhere something that inspires me to keep pushing will come out of nowhere, i.e that quote, I was minding my business looking at pictures, and I have this energy of defeat and the quote just came. I know I'm uber lucky and truly grateful, but that for some reason doesn't not stop my fears, fears of failing, of success, of what ifs, etc the list goes on and on and sometimes I think I'm going to drive myself crazy for worrying about things that are not even here yet. I know what I should do but when I get in my worry mode all of that goes out of the way. Sometimes I look at people and they are so calm and collected and here I am becoming unglued, but I know better, I have the tools, I know I need to live in the moment, you know, I don't even know if tomorrow will come for me, so why worry about something that's not even here yet, why?
Here are some of the ways I pull myself out of the funk to keep focused on what's in front of me
1. Focusing on what is here now, for example, it's raining hard right now, and I love rain, so I'm going to enjoy the sound, the smell, how it makes me feel, read a book, just enjoy "the beautiful weather"
2. Focusing on my breathing or meditate, pray or repeat positive affirmations to myself.
3. Hang out with like minded people, I know for me, when I'm around people who are negative all the time, it's actually physically painful for me, so I much rather be around people who are positive and love life. We all have our struggles and pain, but we don't need to inflict that on innocent bystanders, being positive around people is contagious and you can change someone's day.
4. Feel what you feeling
In other words, don't deny or try to ignore feelings, just say yes to the feelings the more you fight those feelings they harder they come at you, so just feel it out and just surrender.
