Do you ever get into a ‘funk’ or ‘haze’ of sorts?
It can feel like you’re stuck and don’t know which direction to head.
I was there recently.
The better part of the last 2 weeks, in fact.
For a few days I really didn’t ‘feel like me’.
I was irritable, had some hip pain, not sleeping well and just overall less happy … sad even.
I’ve had similar bouts of this ’emotional black hole’ before, and was able to draw from past experiences, as I dealt with this most recent iteration.
You see, we will always have problems.
We will always have a need to solve those problems.
So, let’s work on getting better problems 😉
If you haven’t solved a particular problem, or, the problem you have seems ‘way out of control’ … that can create more (insert – depression/anxiety/etc …)
However, all our problems stem from ‘using the wrong lens’.
How we view it, creates the problem.
So, if we change the lens, and look at it from a different perspective, you’ll notice that the problem hasn’t gone away, you just now have the ‘better problem’ of solving the aforementioned ‘dirty lens problem’ with a ‘clear lens solution’.
In other words, when you change what you look at, what you look at changes.
I felt so tired, listless and down because I was still looking at ‘what was next’ on my calendar, and had overlooked the golden rule ‘You’re only as good as what you can recover from’.
The months leading up to this, I had been going pretty hard, in a sprint, if you will, in order to get my book finished, printed, distributed, etc… along with running my business, being a good partner, and a good person.
I was burning all my ‘midnight oil’, without replenishing much …
So, these past few weeks, I’ve backed off most extra-curricular business activities, been a little quieter online, and ONLY gotten done what was needed to keep my business running, and moving forward.
The rest of the time, I’ve been resting, healing, and taking care of me.
And you know what … I don’t feel stuck, or in a funk anymore.

P.S. Here are 4 more ways you can become happier and healthier:
1. Podcasts
Some of the greatest insights and healing for me, have come from listening to podcasts in the last few years. This long-form type of communication, I’ve found, has been extremely important for understanding context, while learning how to make sustainable change.
That’s why I have started to find ways to get our story on some podcasts, and give you an opportunity to really go deep with us, and see what we’re all about. That way, you can decide if this tribe fits your personality. Click the link below to go to our podcast page, where you can find all our episodes!
2. Rise
Rise is the story of ‘never feeling powerful … to … never feeling powerless’. It’s about John Bair’s life, why he does what he does and how his suffering created happiness.
This handwritten book takes you through an intimate, yet, self-revealing journey, which allows you to implant yourself into the story, as it relates to your own, and reveal the steps you’ll need to take, in order to make change a successful reality.
