How To Take Action
I would suggest recognizing when you're going through a tough time. It's okay to feel awful, but remember that these tough feelings won't harm you. Even when you're super tired and feel like you've got everyone depending on you, remind yourself that things will get better. It's pretty normal to have lots of days where everything feels super hard and you might feel really down, but that doesn't mean you can't handle it.
A good way of dealing with the hard feelings is to accept them. Don't try to push them away. Understand that feeling worn out and having a rough time is part of the journey. This doesn't mean you're failing; it just means you're working through something really challenging.
- If things are really rough, say to yourself, "This is hard, but it's not going to beat me."
- When you're super tired and feeling down, think, "I've got this, and it will be okay."
- Remember that tough days are normal. Say, "It's just a tough day, not a tough life."
- Accept the hard feelings. Tell yourself, "This is tough, but I'm tougher."
Try to do these things every time you're having a rough day. They don't cost any money or take a lot of time, but they're really valuable for helping you keep going. It's like giving yourself a little pep talk whenever you need it. It's a simple step, but it can make a huge difference for small business owners, entrepreneurs, or anyone who wants to grow personally.
