Getting Out of a Funk

Have you ever felt like you are in a funk? Getting out of one can be challenging and almost seem impossible, but it isn’t. It just takes some time. 

---

The problem is, many people tend to ignore their feelings of burnout and fatigue because our fast-paced society doesn’t allow for slowing down or self-reflection. Acknowledging what is going on in your mind is the first step to getting out of a funk. Accept it. Once you have had time to think and understand why you are in a funk, it’s time to get back to your normal. Read on to find out how. 

Focus on the Present Moment
Practicing guided meditation can help you focus on the present moment and connect you with your surroundings. Even finding time to take a deep breath can help you overcome a bad mood. If you find your brain cluttered with unnecessary thoughts, guided meditation will help you focus on your breathing and relax. 

Show Gratitude
Having a grateful attitude can be extremely powerful, and you can practice gratitude in many ways. One way you can practice gratitude is by writing down 3-5 things you are grateful for each morning. This habit will help you see the positive things in your life. 

Understand it’s Just a Bad Day
It’s just a bad day, not a bad life. Our lives are ever-changing and bad times don’t last forever. The funk is temporary. Things will get better before you know it, especially if you are working to actively get yourself into a more positive mindset. 

Funks can be overwhelming and challenging, but they will go away. Take the time to accept your feelings, then start working on getting yourself into a more positive space.
