It’s been a hot minute since a
WELLNESS WEDNESDAY post.
This is because life became a little . If you are currently feeling overwhelmed or things aren’t going to plan, this one is for you…
What to do when life goes to sh*t
1. Acknowledge that sh*t happens - yup, it’s a fact of life! 🙃
2. It’s never permanent - it might not feel like it right now but the circumstances will pass and so will the feeling 💨
3. Lean into those around you - there can be a temptation to hide away when you aren’t feel into your best. However, sharing decreases shame and helps to validate your feelings 🥰
4. Avoid engaging in self-comparisons with others - when we are down, it’s easy to look at others and say ‘they have it so much easier!’ This just makes you feel even worse and the fact is, everyone goes through sh*t (see point #1) 👬👭
5. See what you can control - what is within your locus of control right now? 🎯
6. Problem solve - what are some options to deal with the issue? Evaluate the options and come back to them to see if they are working or if you need to choose another option 🤔
7. Look after yourself - rest, lower your expectations, eat well, exercise, read, get a massage (anything that feels comforting for you) 💆🏼♀️
8. Breathe - take a few deeps breaths. This will lower your nervous system and ground you 😇
9. Look for the silver linings - focus on who is there for you, what is a positive in the situation? ✅
10. Remember good things also happen! You might be going through sh*t now, but this time is temporary and good things will come. 🌈
