It’s so hard to go day to day feeling like you’re in a funk, but there are lots of ways to get out of a funk. You may feel like nothing you do will change things, but I assure you, with these small and easy steps, you’ll be able to feel like your old self in no time! So, here are some great ways to get out of a funk.
Gain momentum as you build. Small steps build habits. There is something out there for you, so identify what you DON'T like. Don't give up. That's one of the best ways to get out of a funk.
Read some blogs, books, and magazines. You never know what will speak to you.
Pretend it's just like going to a business meeting. Making yourself a priority is empowering.
Do you want to look bad in front of others? Probably not, so let others know what your goals are so they can spur you on.
This means no option to hop back into bed. A neatly made sleeping space gives you a sense of control.
This decreases the urge to hop back into bed, also. Laying around in your stained sweatpants is never going to get you out of a funk.
Say, "I am good enough", "I am exciting", "I have so much to be grateful for", "I will find a man", "I am pretty"...
Hurting people hurt people. Once you learn not to care what other people think, you'll have all the power.
When faced with criticism, it can be hard not to take it to heart. However, it is important to remember that the person criticizing you may be coming from a place of hurt or insecurity. Learning to detach yourself from the criticism and focus on your own goals and values can help you to stay focused and empowered. It can also help to remember that other people's opinions are not a reflection of your worth or value. By learning to take criticism in stride, you can gain the confidence to stay true to yourself and your goals.
Remember how you felt on your first day of school? Replicate that feeling with a new outfit for work or a new set of workout clothes.
Self-explanatory. It will happen whether you like it or not. Don't beat yourself up over one week every month. Pamper yourself. Maybe give yourself a manicure.
So, with all of these little building blocks, you should be out of that funk and on to those Christmas parties...happy, healthy and joyous!
