Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen

Minisode 524: What to do when you're handed a shit sandwich

Listen Later

Today’s episode is all about shit sandwiches. Of course, not literal shit sandwiches, but metaphorically when life gets hard. Save this podcast for when life hands you that type of sandwich, or send it to a friend going through a particularly tough time, or you may need these tips right now. 

In this episode, you’ll hear me riff about the following: 

  • The importance of acknowledging your feelings.
  • Practicing the basics of self-care activities.
  • Breaking down the problem into smaller, manageable steps.
  • Making a plan and set achievable goals.
  • Seeking help or support from friends, family, or professionals if needed.
  • Focusing on the positive aspects of your life and gratitude. (this one has a caveat!)
  • Keeping a growth mindset and learning from your challenges.
  • Taking time for yourself to recharge and rejuvenate– whatever that is for YOU.
  • Staying positive and maintaining a hopeful outlook for the future.
  • Remembering that challenges are a part of life, and it's how you deal with them that matters.
