How to Overcome Feeling Tired or Down

How to Overcome Feeling Tired or Down

‍

It's Monday morning... How are you feeling about your week that’s starting?

Are you feeling motivated, inspired, and ready to go?

Or are you like most people, thinking, "Here we go again…"

I’ve had days like that—many of them. And believe it or not, it’s going to happen more often than not.

In fact, it’ll happen even when you’re working on a clear plan and you have passion for what you’re doing.

But here’s the good news: you’re not alone. And it doesn’t mean you’re not driven or motivated to hit your goals.

It simply means you’re human. And it’s a typical response when you sometimes feel overwhelmed with the path you’re on.

Actually, I’d argue that the more outside your comfort zone you go—or the more challenging the road you choose—the more overwhelmed you’ll feel.

And that’s okay.

In fact, that overwhelm can be a signal that you’re stretching yourself, pushing past limitations, and growing.

So the key is to turn that overwhelm into FUEL.

Remember Prosperity Pillar #3: I ACT IN SPITE OF MY MOOD.

• You don’t have to feel like doing things to do them.
• You don’t need to be motivated or inspired to get RESULTS.
• You don’t need more good days than bad days—you just need to EXECUTE.
• You don’t have to overcome the overwhelm—you just have to START.

So if you're feeling stuck, here are a few go-to solutions for shifting gears:

1. CHANGE YOUR STATE.Move your body. Get fresh air. Blast some music. Change your physical energy to spark a shift in your mental energy.

2. STOP MAKING IT ABOUT YOU.When you focus on helping others, you remove pressure from yourself. Shift your focus to contribution and service.

3. COMMIT IN ADVANCE.Decide now what you’ll do—even when you don’t feel like it. Don’t negotiate with your mind later.

‍

Look, we all have up and down days. Nobody feels like waking up early or pushing hard when they’re tired, sick, or overwhelmed.

Do it anyway.

That’s what high performers do.

That’s what gets RESULTS in your life.

And THAT is what will carry you forward and create fulfillment.

You’ve got this. Just start.
