Shoot. I know some people have felt like they have had a bad year! The question isn't WHY we have those bad days though. Its how to we overcome.
I have been asked a lot recently how I overcome obstacles, like my abuse, or those hard days dealing with it. So I thought I would share how I try and move past the obstacles in my life. In thinking about it, I have come up with 5 things I do DAILY to help me not just have a good day, but to feel like I have a forward movement in life.
1. I try and read something (at the very least listen to) 30 mins of personal development daily. So this can mean scripture study or a personal deveolpment book. But 30 mins of time.
2. Write goals down. I have yearly goals that I look at all the time and am continually working towards fulling every day. When the day is hard I look back and see how much I have accomplished, because its all written down, there is proof that I have been working toward something.
3. Tell yourself you are amazing. I do this every morning. I lay in bed and count as I tell myself that. I don't do it so that I have an ego, I do it so that I get out of bed feeling great, not grumpy, and it gives me the boost to feel like I can accomplish anything. I also do this mid-day if I am feeling down. Its amazing what a little postive self talk does.
4. Plan your entire day. I have my goals for the day, and then I have blocks of time allotted to different activities. I get distracted really easy, so its nice to have a plan of attack. If I dont follow my daily plan exactly, its okay. I have my plan so that I never have down time to feel sorry for myself.
5. Write in a gratitude journal. I write at least 3 things every night that I am grateful for. This way I go to bed feeling happy, grateful and content with my day.
I still have bad days, and life is not perfect, but these are my go to ways of getting through the hard times. Hope it helps!!
MUAH! XO
