When we get beaten down, it’s important for us to take actions that will pick us back up. In this episode, I suggest ten things that you can do to pick yourself up after a difficult day, week, or month. If you are feeling beaten down right now, I challenge you to take action on at least one of these suggestions.

1) Find something to be in awe of…preferably something you had something to do with

2) Call the Leena in your life

3) Help somebody who can do nothing for you

4) Get outdoors

5) Read three pages of How To Stop Worrying and Start Living

6) Teach people how to help you

7) Spend time with a small child

8) Get perspective to center you

9) Remember the Garth Brooks song, “Unanswered Prayers”

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers

10) Have More Get Tos Than Got Tos

A word of warning…the above won’t be enough if you are clinically depressed. Talk to your doctor and see a counselor or therapist if you need more help.

Also…you’ll forgot all of this the moment you get beaten down. That’s the time to come back to this episode.
