So let’s dive in, if you’re just joining us and you are just kind of life’s thrown curveball at you and you are tired of feeling stressed, and all that stuff. We’ve got a four-step process here that we’re going through so you can recover from a difficult time from one of life’s curveballs.
1:05
The first thing is don’t beat yourself up, because what’s happened has happened we can’t change anything we can’t go back and change the past we made the best decision we could, in the moment. There’s nothing we can do about it so it doesn’t do any good to continue to waste energy on beating ourselves up, so we have to be able to reframe that, and just look towards moving forward. That is not an easy thing to do. In the beginning, it’s definitely a habit, we have to create but that’s the first step for you.

The second thing that I recommend and that I’ve used whenever we’ve had a curveball being thrown at us is to start your day off with gratitude, which I do on an everyday basis but it’s more important when you’ve got a curveball thrown at you. So, 10 things every single morning that you’re grateful for, a minimum of 10, if you do more great because the more that we can reflect on being grateful for what we do have, the better we’re going to be able to again reframe that. It’s also going to help with the stop beating yourself up, which was number one. Start your day off with gratitude.

The third thing is going to be focused on what you can control. So, we can control our actions, right? We can’t control everyone around us, we can control who is in our circle. But we can’t control everybody else so spending time worrying or focus or stressing on everybody else’s actions, instead of just doing what we can do, isn’t going to help. So for example, if you are feeling stressed or you’ve got a curveball thrown at you when it comes to your money. Then, what I would do here is, the first part of focusing on what you can control will be knowing where you’re at. So taking stock of what your expenses are, where you’re at financially. Get a good snapshot and then you can focus on the parts that you can control. So eliminating expenses or making more money there are different aspects there that are all up to you instead of things that are outside of your control.

And then the fourth thing is to stay connected to your dreams and goals because we all have something that we’re working towards least we should. It’s going to make life a lot more enjoyable. Staying focus on those things being focused on or working towards instead of again the negative on what’s going on around us is going to help. There is a lot of options depending on what you’re working towards. So maybe you’re wanting a new house make sure you’ve got house apps on your phone that you’re looking at new houses all the time. We had wanted a car, a new car for me for a couple of years so we were looking at cars all the time and now I’ve got my dream car, a couple of months ago. So it was interesting though because you spend all that time working on that, and then like there’s this void, like, okay, now I can focus on the next thing because you achieve that dream you got what you were looking for. Focusing on what you what your dreams and your goals.

If you’ve never done this exercise before, write down 100 things that you would like to accomplish kind of like a mini bucket list, simple stuff can be on there. I used to put on there a new pillow because getting a new pillow was a big deal. So, that is really all I’ve got time for today I will quickly recap.
