Change the frame of reference away from yourself and your mindset will improve. No one is out to get you — although it probably feels that way all the time sometimes.
Keeping the you in the circumstance will block you. It will prevent you from moving forward.
Yes, you got laid off. Yes, your business went out of business. Yes, you cannot pay all your bills. Yes, your kids are angry at you. Whatever is happening may be true, but they do not have to define you.
You know those people who say:
“I can’t believe what’s happening to me now!”
Those people always seem to have some type of crisis or drama. They can’t get past their circumstances because:
“someone or something is making it difficult for me.”
You can’t reinvent your life when you carry around this burden.
Reinvention is about renewal. It’s about looking at life differently.
Take all the crappy circumstances and issues facing you right now. Make a list of them on paper. Then, problem solve. What actions can you take to alleviate or eliminate the problems? Write down what you need to do, create deadlines and hold yourself accountable.
Take some type of action every day — even if it’s a teeny, tiny step. It will help you feel some kind of control over your life.
And, pat yourself on the back for doing something.
