How do I get my life back on track? #2

Everything just seems to be against you..

As if there are all kinds of invisible forces that do everything to give you a rotten feeling. You feel bad, things are disappointing. Your dreams seem far away, or you do not even dream anymore.

You feel small and weak, worthless and dejected. And you have no idea how you crawl out of the valley. Because everything you try seems to fail.

Life is not just a party. But luckily you do not have to sit down. You can feel bad and at the same time work on a better life. And that's what we're going

#2. Do your paperwork

It is time to create lists. The lists that will pull you out of the dale.

Ask yourself "what is my happiness in the way?" Then write down everything that comes to mind. Take time for it. This list ultimately contains all the problems and obstacles that you are currently running into.

If you have done that, create a list of solutions to these problems. Ask at each point what first small step you could take to solve every problem or make it less heavy.

Perhaps you can put your feelings about a quarrel in a letter that you may or may not send. Or you can make a first phone call with a debt counselor. Or you can work for an hour on that task that you have to do, but do not want to do.

The overview, and the first small steps towards recovery, give you a sense of control. And that is the beginning of the upward spiral.
