not be as easy as it sounds but if you do it slowly you’ll will get there, its not about
how fast you change but the effectiveness of it.

your attitude towards others, in fact this should be a time to even have the best
attitude you can.In doing so you will not only help yourself but others will learn
from you as well.

can only keep you from achieving what you might want to achieve, so never give
up keep on going because when you feel your at the bottom the only way you can
go is up.The major difference between staying in a position and coming out of one
is perseverance, if you continue to consistently believe in yourself you can and

might forget is that when you’re in a place or situation that isn’t working out for you
, it can be used as an opportunity to start over and have complete control of what
happens next.

practicing and even getting rid of some people that might have been bringing you
down, so use this time to carefully strategies for whats to come.
10.Learning Opportunity
As mentioned earlier this time can be used to separate yourself from all the bad
vices that you used to be apart of but it can also be used as a time to learn
something new.Therefore going through some bad experiences can be a good
way to gain some knowledge on things that you might not have known and this
can make you a better person,so take this into consideration whenever things
might not be going your way.

made in the past ,so that being said learning from it will give you insight on what
not to do next time.

deterred from what you are supposed to be doing.So have some confidence In

having some good words by some motivational speakers can help you.To further
lift your mood you can listen to your favorite artists and this believe it or not
actually does help.
12.Being Grateful
Even when the times aren’t that great it is very important for you to remain grateful
for the things that you have been given, because gratitude allows you to be more
accepting and content with each and everything that happens to you. So be
thankful that you are in this situation for it might be a blessing in disguise and may
help transform you for your future.You have to be grateful because there are
many people in the world today that don’t even have half of what you have, so
always be appreciative of the small things as they will lead to you having more
things.

essential for you to have fun even in hard times.Its essential that you find some
time to just do things that will make you smile and feel happy, always find some
time for yourself to do what you would like as its critical for personal care.

which is okay , however its very important that you don’t bottle these up.In an
article posted on the psychology today website , it was stated that being in touch
with your emotion makes you a better person and a better parent.
That being said its important to find activities in which you can freely show
express yourself, this can be either through art and drama or through a more
physical activity such as sports.So try as much as possible to become more
involved in such exercises because , being able to express yourself is important
for your growth during this period in time.
15.Taking A time out
Sometimes we might start to over-think a situation and will cause us to go through
alot both mentally and physically, therefore taking sometime just to relax and do
nothing is very important for us. Most times the reason we might not be very
productive is because we don’t give ourselves the break we need and you might
as well take this as an opportunity to start to add such an important step into your
daily routine.
Life is not that easy so its okay to go through a little bit of a rough patch because,
if you are winning all the time you might forget how it actually feels to appreciate
that victory.So that being said embrace the moment and never give up for it shall
soon pass away, you’ll look back at it and smile because you managed to
overcome it .
Remember its how we act in these situations that can make or break us , that
being said stay positive and believe in your abilities.
