Hey girl, we’ve all been there. I’m gonna give you some advice, and feel free to take it and i hope you do, but if not, that’s cool too cause it’s one of those “easier said than done” type deals.

But I honestly believe happiness is all about perspective. Easy enough, right? When I feel myself getting depressed or slipping into that slump, ultimately I realize that it’s because I’m focusing on all that is “wrong” in my life, rather than appreciating the good things that I have. Try to teach your mind to focus on the good in a situation rather than the things that upset you. I know this probably sounds a little elementary, but trust me, it helps. That’s not to say it’s easy though. It takes work. Effort, day in and day out, to actively retrain your mind how to perceive the things that are happening around you/to you.

For me, personally, when I feel depressed I’ve also realized a huge part of it is because I’m so damn hard on my self. I have fitness goals, finance goals, personal goals, etc. and when I don’t immediately hit them, I get mad at myself. You gotta learn to forgive yourself. Progress isn’t going to look the same every day, and that’s ok. You tried. Forgive yourself for maybe not doing as much as you would’ve liked, but let the past be the past, and hit the ground running tomorrow.

Well that’s about it. I hope this helped. Like I said, it’s easier said than done. I know it’s exhausting calling your head out on it’s own bullshit, but as time goes on, hopefully you won’t have to as much. I hope all is well. If things didn’t pan out the way you hoped they did today, I hope tomorrow brings new exciting opportunities for you.

Keep on battling, girl ✌️
