We Get Knocked Down, We Get Up Again...

When we get knocked down it's not usually physically, but emotionally.  Sometimes we can receive unsettling news, or make a mistake that has led to significant consequences, or even receive feedback that can feel insanely hurtful.  When I get knocked down sometimes it can take hours or even days to get myself back up and mentally "right."

At those times when our world is turned upside down, we need to remember that it's ok to feel the pain.  It's ok to take some time to regroup.  Take responsibility for the part that you played in the pain your feeling.  If you are religious, have faith that we are only given what we can handle.  I also find it best to go through my usual daily routine, whether I feel like it or not, in order to get back to feeling like my old self.  And, I will consciously think about all the things I appreciate in my life.

If you're feeling a little knocked down this morning like me, then I hope this song helps you get moving.  And, if you're at your desk right now and can't listen to the music, read through this article.  It's pretty awesome.

Oh Lord

Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?

Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things We look in the sky like, "Why ain...

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck.  I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress.  But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward.  We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions.  Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!  

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!
