One of the things we often learn the hard way is that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged.
Discouragement is a cousin of overwhelm.
Overwhelm leads to helplessness.
Helplessness leads to hopelessness.
Somewhere in the midst of all that is discouragement
And that’s when we’re on the wrong road.
Just saw a fellow say to get out of discouragement or worry,
NAME it - say what you are feeling and why.
BREATHE it - 4 seconds in and 8 seconds out.
The longer out breath triggers your vagus nerve.
Calms you.
Do it a few times.
Til you feel it.
MOVE it. Move your body - take a walk, or sweep the walk, do some yoga, or dance or……
If your focus still comes back to discouragement,
Do your 3 steps again.
And, through it all think of what you are grateful for
In your life.
Love,
