We’ve all been there, haven’t we?!

Where even though yesterday (or 2 minutes ago) you were on a mission, right now you’re doubting your very existence, wondering whether you can do it at all, and the temptation to go and lie on the sofa and watch the entire 18 seasons of Greys Anatomy (yet again) whilst munching your way through a HUGE bag of Doritos is very real.

Now although we have been there, and this is isn’t about you not being good enough, but very much about you being HUMAN, and although I’m a huge fan of Greys Anatomy, success isn’t going to come flying in through the window while you have a mouthful of chocolate.

So, what do you do to get yourself out of this funky feeling?

1. Get Moving

It can be really tempting to just close the curtains and veg out on the sofa, but the thing is that when you get moving you’re sending a whole new message to yourself saying…’let’s do this!”

There are literally loads of ways you can do this, but my all time fave is to put on a high vibe tunes and have a dance party round your kitchen. Before you know it you’ll be transported to an amazing place in your mind, singing at the top of your voice and life will feel good again.

2. Get Outside

Getting outside, and connecting with nature really does wonders to get you re-grounded and re-connected with the abundance all around you, and just by changing your environment can really help to shift your mood and allow those amazing ideas to flow again.

3. Meditate

If you’ve not tried meditating before, give it a go. You don’t need to go all zen and sit on a mountain top for hours. Just the act of sitting still and breathing for 5 minutes can really help to calm down the noisiness of internal thoughts and allow us to just re-group start again.

If you’re in this space know that you’re not alone, we’ve all been there and to help I’ve put together a pack as your go to resource called the WOBBLE PACK  –  Click here for more info
