Sometimes life will throw you a curve ball and we have to step back!
This teaches us many things in life, sometimes it means we are not ready, sometimes it teaches
us how difficult life can be, and to never give up.
When this happens take time to breathe, take time off and make a new plan. Then pick yourself up and get back on track. You will learn from this experience and have more knowledge. It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you are moving!!
It's not easy to admit to our-self or others that we have no idea where our life is headed. You work hard for years, a lot of sweat and tears. You have reached the top, you have hit the bottom, only too start all over again.
Things happen....life gets the best of us. Sometimes it's our fault and sometimes it's not, but you have to be brave, slow down and breathe and start again.
The most important thing you can do is admit it, come to terms with it and allow yourself to step back. It doesn't mean you are defeated, and won't rise again, it just means you need time to think and reground and rise even higher.
So what can we do when we are faced with this type of situation:
-
Take some time off/breathe/re-focus
-
Observe the situation
-
Retrace your steps where you went wrong
-
Learn from it and remember for future reference
-
Let go/forgive self/forgive others
-
Educate yourself/Better yourself
-
Make a list step by step what you need to achieve
-
Mark it off and reward yourself
-
Continue taking steps until to reach your goals
-
Never stop learning/Never stop bettering yourself
-
Keep moving forward!!
REMEMBER: Things will get better with time!
Slow progress is better than no progress!
Let go of what is holding you back and what is keeping you from moving forward.
So step back and take a look! Every step counts, even baby steps!
It might take a while before you reach your final goal, but remember its not about the goal at the end, it's about embracing the journey along the way.
Even though we will hit many bumps along the way, eventually the goals will be reached. Stay focused on what makes you happy and what you want to achieve and reward yourself along the way. No matter how slow your progress is, it is still progress and you should be content with it.
Two steps forward and one step back is still one step forward!
