It's dark and cold outside. The days are shorter. It's REALLY cold outside!
At some point in life, we all get in a funk. Whether it's relationships, finances, or even the weather, there are lots of very good reasons why our motivation just gets stalled. I understand. So here are some quick tips on getting out of the funk.
1) Exercise. I am not suggesting you need to run a marathon. But any kind of physical activity (for even 20 minutes) can loosen up the body and the mind. It will not only release the physical "goodies" in the body that will make you feel good. It will get your mind right too! If you like to walk on the treadmill, do that. If you are into yoga, get on the mat. If you like to run, hit the road. But whatever your preferred activity, do that for 20 minutes to begin your day. It will help.
2) Pick a Project. If you have a project that you are excited about, it helps to take your mind off of the things that are bugging you. In addition, making small incremental steps will help to boost you up and give you purpose.
3) Push Out Good. This may sound counter-intuitive, but by seeking out good things to ingest and pushing out good to the world, you will make yourself feel better. A study shows that the person who gives the act of kindness gets the same boost to seratonin that the person who receives it. So push out good to the world. You can't do it without getting some back!
Have a great Friday everyone...and make someone smile today.
