When was the last time you woke up on a Monday and thought, “I’m going to own this week!”?
Today is not one of those Mondays for me…
I can’t really pinpoint why I feel like I’m failing and a sense of uncertainty.

Most of us have these times in our lives, both personally and professionally. So how the hell do you deal with this lost feeling?
The trick is figuring out what it is that’s standing in your way, accepting it’s there and implementing a plan to get around it. This has always been my preferred method to getting back on track.
What is contributing to these feelings of doubt and hopelessness?
There are countless reasons you may feel the way you do. Your job, your relationship with your family, the future, or whatever else. We as humans all experience most of the same feelings and deal with very similar stressers.

It is what it is and that’s okay
Pretty much everything we encounter day to day is out of our control. We cannot control how the person at the cash register treats us. We cannot control the weather or traffic.
However, we can control how we perceive those things.
Stuck in traffic? Great! Now you can turn on that audiobook you’ve been wanting to listen to.
Snowstorm have your car blocked in? Break out the sled!
We too often allow our life to be projected to us, as opposed to writing our own story and perceiving situations in a way that contributes to how we actually want to live life.
Take control of your thoughts to take control of your life.
My question to you;
Taking a step back and think about a frustrating situation that happened either today or yesterday. Can you think of an angle which may have allowed you to see the silver lining instead?
