So You Have Been Feeling A Little Down
Pinimg

Have you been in some weird kind of funk where the things you love to do slowly occur less often, when the music you are used to and the movies that cheer you up when you are having a rough day does not quite get the job done. You feel like you are kind of slowly losing yourself and have to rebuild everything that you are accustomed to. You begin to lose sleep, eat less, stress more and become well more unproductive. So, how do you get out of this funk because all you want is to get back to what you are use to and back to normal you?

Well, the first thing I think that is best for everyone is to carry on with your everyday activities. Whatever is happening that is throwing you into this strange funk you have to carry on because no matter what life keeps happening and you have to keep living. Also, remember that some days are better than others and it is okay to not be okay - just keep going.

The second thing - do not keep yourself down. Whatever is holding you down, get rid of it. Whenever the negative is overcoming the good it needs to go. Maybe it's people, a hobby, a tragic event or anything that is making you feel so down and out of sync with yourself.

Third - if you are the one who is holding yourself down then it's time that you find someone to talk to and find someone to help you live the extraordinary life that you deserve. Find someone who can lead you down the right path of becoming the person you are looking for.

Sometimes after being in these funks where you kind of lose your way from who you were and from where you want to go, you find yourself becoming a new person who you might not want to be. The best thing to do is to accept that you have changed and become the better version of you.

Maybe this is a sign telling you to find new passions in life, the things that you could love and get you through all the tough times. Who knows, you might find a passion in working out, cooking, reading anything that makes you realize how great life is and how you need to take advantage of everything life has to offer you. Or maybe it is finding your way to a new city, town or country or even getting a pet because everyone knows a pet is always going to be there and love you unconditionally.

I guess if you are in a funk I understand because I have been there and I am currently there. How I got here was out of my control. So trying to find your way back is a little more difficult and you have no idea how to face it. To be honest I am still trying to find my way back but the key is to keep living and to know that ever yday is worth it. The other key is surrounding yourself with the people who want nothing but your happiness.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
