How to keep going when you're down

It's been a while since I've let myself break, really fall into pieces. It's been a while but I have finally decided to allow myself to do so. And the question is how and where do I go from there? How do I pick up my now pieces of optimism and get back on track? If you have ever asked yourself the same questions, the following article is just for YOU.

Based on my experience the first thing that you should do in that position is allow yourself to feel what you're feeling. Don't try to fight it, accept it that you are feeling down at the moment and don't beat yourself over it BUT also say to yourself the following magic line:

"This Will Be the Best Thing That Has Happened To Me!"

Once you make that decision of defining whatever it is that you're dealing with as the best thing that could have happened to you, the pluses will start piling right before your eyes. Trust me, it's a life changing line.

The source of this statement is in the wise Jewish saying that "Everything happens for the best". Which brings us to faith. Faith plays a big role in pulling ourselves from low places in our lives. You can believe in whatever you want as long as you have something that is beyond our materialistic daily lives to hang on to, you will feel a great relief.

Moreover you should always remember who's on your side. Imagine yourself trying to win a soccer game by surrounding yourself with the players of the opposite team... that's exactly what you are doing when you surround yourself with people that are not really good for you, that do not really care. Be your own best friend and protect yourself. Acknowledge the fact that you are in a delicate state and make sure to have good energy wrapping you. Of course family is your first option but not only. Even i your relationship with your family are poor, you can always find a good friend or any figure that inspires you.

Finally, usually when we feel down, our guilt feeling are working overtime, practically the employees of the month. For that I can only say one thing - do not blame yourself for all that is wrong in your life, especially when you are this vulnerable. Take responsibility and always draw the conclusion on how to improve. But do it to the point with no extra emotions involved. When you make a mistake, learn from it however first congratulate yourself saying: "congratulations, you are a human being". Bottom line that's what it is all about - we are human and as human we fall and with our mind we rise up again. That's the beauty of life, that's the beauty of us.
