Let’s not sugarcoat it: slump happens...

Even the most motivated of us — can feel unmotivated at times. In fact, sometimes we get into such a slump that even thinking about making positive changes seems too difficult.

During a slump, you might feel unmotivated, lost, unproductive, angry, annoyed, or stuck…which can engender a whole lot of negative emotions. And, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but few aspects of life are immune to slumps. If you don’t take action to make positive changes, you might just fall deeper and deeper into the slump, in which case it’ll be harder to pick yourself back up.

Sometimes a slump is triggered by work stress, Mental health, Relationship issues, and problem at home. Some slump seemingly comes out of nowhere, with no rhyme or reason it just out attacks you out of nowhere. Regardless of how they come about, though, slumps always suck. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you don’t have to resign yourself to spending the rest of your life in a slump.

There is some step that you can do when you feel SLUMP and you can put it behind you...

1. Acknowledge it and accept it!

Slumps have a way of making you feel like something is wrong with you. Like, maybe you aren’t in a slump — maybe you’re just a failure, one big failure. But let me tell you NO. A slump is a slump. Deep down, most of us can tell when this funky feeling starts to creep in and take over, yet we still try to ignore it and swept it over. However, when you’re in a deep solid slump, burying your head in the sand will only make it worse. The feeling will overwhelm you and tire you out, so I will give you a better tactic!!! Head it on, Face it up by acknowledging and accepting it.  

2. Minimize the Negativity! 

In reality, You’ve got a hard battle dealing with the darkness rolling around in your head right now. It is your own demon, the whisper that gives you continuous self-criticism. Don’t compound that any more than you can help. First, start with upholding your mind, and choosing your thought I know it is hard but you have to keep on trying. Second Steer clear of toxic people. Reaching out is one way to help you find your way out of your slump, you’ll want to surround yourself with people and places that will lift you up, not pull you down further.

3.  Self Compassion and see the silver lining of it!  

Listen, some people are going to tell you that you have to be positive and bounce toward a sunnier state of mind,  see all rainbow after the rain. I tell you AGAIN It is normal that you are in your slump phase. You should know that you’re allowed to feel a little sorry for yourself. But don't dwell too much on those feelings. It is normal to feel guilty if you give in to your feelings for just a moment. Often, the only way to get past certain feelings like anger or confusion, or sadness is to feel them. You might be thinking that this sounds like some annoying zen-meta-namaste crap. Still, looking for the silver lining in that moment of your slump phase can give you a positive channel for focusing your energy. It helps to give you a better perspective of yourself, and maybe this is what you really need at that moment and you should be grateful for it.  

So don’t worry; no one is testing you on how fast you can find your way out of a rut. This is not a competition. No one is going to be waiting at the finish line, taunting you for not sloughing off your slump the fastest. It is okay to work your way out of your slump slowly. REMEMBER you know already who you are, So whatever SLUMPS that you might be in, YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!!!!
