Motivation: Feeling unhappy? Discover your strength

                 

                                       Simple ways to stay ahead of your game

Have you ever been broke to the extent that you could not afford a bar soap? I bet for some, No is the answer. Life at times brings all manner of challenges towards us in which most people think of it as a result of failure. There's a saying that " challenges comes for us to stand/stay strong and not to faint. It takes only a person who rose from grass to grace to understand what the term 'broke' means. According to Ben Omeje he said "People are like teabags: they do not know their own strength until they get into hot waters".
When a person takes a step and fail, everything seems like life is one hell of a place. No matter the challenges, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

While going through some challenges that seems to be difficult to handle, here are some tips that can be of assistance in such situation.
 You don't have to under-rate yourself because nothing is working for you.

1. Avoid anxiety

Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. Its unhealthy to worry too much about your present situation because it could cause a nervous disorder characterized by a state of excessive uneasiness and apprehension, typically with compulsive behavior or panic attacks. Life is meant to be tasted and not swallowed. No, matter what your present state is, there's is a reason for everything happening. Challenges is for us to stay strong and not to panic. As long as there's life, there is possibility for great exploits.  Take life easy on yourself, worry less about things that is not working out.

2. Go all out

This maybe something you do often but i count it as my favourite option. Anytime am feeling depressed, i love going somewhere to feel relaxed and honestly it works perfectly for me. At times its advice-able to leave one's depressed state to a place of tranquility. Am not trying to get you confused here but am being practical. When you're home alone going through difficult times, you tend to feel unhappy and find everything hard. Without thinking too far, leave where you are and locate a place to feel happy.  Even if you had a rough day, don't stress yourself about the situation. Getting home after a really stressful day, you feel tired and maybe exhausted so, try to have a little drink (a glass of milk, juice or wine).
 Anytime am angry or perhaps have misunderstanding with someone, i do leave such environment in other to think things through and also to avoid doing something i might later regret. Walking away first, from a negative atmosphere helps to avoid altercation.

3. Locating a comfort zone

Most people may call it "locating a cool spot", the name isn't as important as the happiness you derive from it. I encourage you to read a book titled 'Thinking for a change' by John C. Maxwell. He said "When i found a place to think my thoughts, my thoughts found a place in me". Your place of thought or maybe the place you're able to think well is very important. For example, i find comfort going to a spa most of the time or to a cafe' to have a drink especially when am going through difficult times. I don't have all the time in the world to start reminiscing about faults or mistakes i have made in time past, so i do leave my problems behind me and locate my place of comfort so as to feel happy. We only live once, so spend every minute, seconds, days, months, years well. Don't regret about your past deeds or perhaps action.

 Think about your next move towards achieving your goals because there are more chances for you to succeed at whatever you do. Do what brings out the best in you and never be afraid of failure. Failure at times is not as a result of not planning but its an eye opener to doing what wasn't good, better. So, its best to discover what works for you anytime you're feeling down. Find a place you would feel relaxed to think well/plan your life. Anytime you're feeling depressed, go straight to your comfort zone and relax your mind, body and soul before taking any action.

4. Discovering a niche

You might be doing something and it seems difficult as you proceed or let me say frustrating. The first question one has to think of in this situation is, Are my doing this the right way? Sure, this will bring about lots of conversation across the mind. Nobody is born without a talent, it only takes diligence and observation to discover it. Most of us find ourselves doing whats not meant for us which brings out the worst part of our lives. Don't quote me wrong here because it might sound cliche. When a person loves doing something, the flow of passion to excel will fall-in. For example, you love cooking a lot and you can prepare different varieties of meal with ease. You know how to turn things around with food and you also derive joy doing it. 
This might be your area of strength to succeed. The most important aspect of succeeding at something is the ability to stay consistent and persistent at every stage you arrive. Although, to be sincere it's not easy to succeed at doing something because of the challenges that comes along the way. That's why i mentioned "persistence and consistence". It goes a long way repeating what you do on a daily.

The more you keep doing it on a daily, it becomes part of your routine/life. Challenges comes and you discover solutions in other to tackle it, you will definitely be good at what you're doing.
When you discover yourself and what works best for you, things works favourable.

5. Staying Focused

This part is where temptation arises. This might sound a bit cliched, but it's nothing to worry about. This is when the word 'persistence' comes in because lots of challenges arises in other for the mission not to be accomplished. Distractions comes in from all directions and things becomes frustrating. But, forgetting what everybody thinks and moving/working hard towards achieveing the ultimate goal will definitely help. Friends and family might be making money from what they do but you're yet to make a penny, just relax and be patient. Patience will keep you focused. When it's your time, things will work-out like you created the universe.

Keep doing what you know how to do best and give it time because a seed doesn't bear fruits the same day it was planted. Growing a profitable business or investing takes time and lots of patience.
Negative people or let me call it people with negative energy will come to discourage every step you take. The plan is to excel and not to give up/faint.

Forget about what people may think about you and explore strength in all doings. Life so to say brings all manner of challenges but giving-up becomes an ultimate defeat. We don't have to stress ourselves on issues we know that solutions could be provided to. 

Take things easy as you go about your daily activities doing what you know how to do best. In every problem there is always a breakthrough.
