Ep. 278: Feeling "Blah?" - Try This

Are you finding yourself demotivated, depressed, anxious, stressed and overwhelmed some days? Don't be afraid to admit it - it happens to us all. I myself am having one of these days right now. But here is a simple 4-step process to help you dig your way out of it:

Acknowledge - the key to fixing a problem is admitting you have a problem right? Many of us struggle just to get into this stage and admit that we are struggling with ourselves or our motivation levels.
Accept - instead of adopting the mindset of "screw this, I'm gonna man-up and just push through!" - you need to accept and submit to the fact that you're just having an off day. Believe me, it gets much easier once you can do that.
Analyze - this goes back to playing the "why" game. Why are you feeling this way? What has happened to make this your reality? What is going on in your life? This is the process of unwinding and untangling your thoughts and feelings.
Act - you'll come out of this analyze phase with an action - and you'll know exactly what you need to do. Maybe you need to take a day off. Maybe you need to go do something fun and socialize. Maybe you need to have that hard conversation with someone or change your diet. All of this work is fruitless if you don't actually act.

So there you have it, the 4-step process to dig yourself out of a mentally tough situation.

Where can you apply this to your life today?
