Your reaction to doubt and adversity is vitally important, and will ultimately save you a lot of time and emotions.
When you get a knock back, get completely knocked down or even out, it’s your response that matters. Contrary to the always positive messages i send out, i usually get at least one disappointment every day, things didn’t work out, opportunities didn’t materialise and now and again get knocked down.
Dwelling on it is our first reaction. Then sitting on it for a few days is sometimes our next move. Before we know it, we are out of motivation to do anything about it, and the chances of coming back strong are filled with doubt and a lack of self-belief we can do anything about it.
The habit of bouncing back is a habit, you have to do something about it that day. However desperate circumstances seem, you must fight back. You must make yourself feel better, and exercise will turn the corner for you quicker than anything there is. It may not solve the problem, but it will put you in a more positive mindset to make better decisions on how to tackle it.
Think of the people around you who RELY on you bouncing back, they really do. They are waiting your next move, your next conversation and they often expect courage from you even when all seems lot.
Whatever your situation, you need to take action now. There has GOT to be a way out of it, there has to be a way that if you just take action now, life will begin to seem better tomorrow, however small in the beginning.
There are many times i don’t want to take the dogs out tomorrow morning, but here’s some truth, i ALWAYS get great ideas on that walk, i always get fresh thinking time, my brain always comes alive on those walks, it is 100% a “has to happen” part of my day.
I know i HAVE to do that walk because a lot of people want me to be fired up every day and bring something new to the table.
Here’s the news, people are depending on YOU, and you will either become that shining light leader for those around you in times of difficulty, or you become the one that sets the domino effect going in the wrong direction which sets off a spiral you really do want.
People rely on you, take decisive action now and move forward and take charge of the circumstances you CAN control.
