#95 | You're Not Alone: How to Deal When Life Gets Difficult

Have you ever had the blahs or the blues feeling? Have you ever felt like this?

It’s Monday morning. You’re lying in bed, in the same comfy pants that you’ve worn all weekend, dreading the day ahead. You feel burned out. exhausted. Anxious. Maybe even a bit depressed.

While you wait for motivation (or for a latte to magically appear), you grab your phone and scroll through one of your social media feeds. There, smiling back at you, are dozens of shiny, happy people, full of energy, enthusiastic, being productive, and doing fun, noteworthy things.

How are they ALWAYS so optimistic and so productive? Do they have some secret understanding of how to live life and be in total bliss, abundance, and effortless flow?

You wish you could be living shiny like that all the time and spreading the joy of what you love to do all the time, too — yet you feel stuck. And today, you don’t feel like crawling out from under the covers.

If you can relate, you are NOT alone. This struggle is so common — especially these days — which is why I chose this topic and this question from Rob: “How do you go about your daily life when you feel really heavy, depressed, or unmotivated? Do you just push yourself and smile through the pain? Please share your secret to being able to function through difficult times.”

I know that I seem super optimistic and a rah rah cheerleader type yet I’m not happy and productive all the time. Yet I do have a secret to showing up and giving my most authentic best, even when I’m in a dark place.

In today’s episode, I share:

  • A mantra that was gifted to me as a child to get through the darkest moments that I still use today. 3 powerful words that can help support you to reground, realign, and shift for the highest good with a mindfulness strategy. 
  • An affirmation that can instantly lift the weight from your shoulders.
  • A couple of stories of hope from real folks who eliminated overwhelm and lifted their depression
  • I also share a personal story and I hope it helps you feel more supported and far less alone.

    Now, let’s turn this insight into inspiring action.

    Take out your journal and take 5 minutes to reflect on a time when you were struggling with anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, or sadness.

    • What was going on in your life at that time?
    • How did it make you feel?
    • What tools helped you to release, clear, shift, discern (whether you needed to show up), and then if it supported you to show up and do what you were called to do? (e.g. energy healing, meditation, program, therapy, a book, mantra, self-care practice, advice, outside help, etc.)
    • No matter how you show up today, remember: you are showing up - however that looks. Know that your best really is always most beneficial. Promise.
