It makes me sad to see you suffer from circumstances outside of your control. I recently spent two hours on FaceTime listening to and encouraging\u00a0someone I care about deeply.<\/p>\n

What makes\u00a0such situations\u00a0even more challenging is, when you face circumstances because of decisions you\u2019ve made.<\/p>\n

Feeling stuck is normal. And it\u2019s easy to blame others.<\/p>\n

I have three suggestions to get you past those low moments:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Breathe deeply. The first one is take a breath. Take a deep, deep breath, then take in your surroundings and recognize everything that\u2019s happening and just BE WITH IT for a while.<\/a> Accepting what is, clears your mind, enabling you to see what can be.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Ask yourself, \u201cIf anything was possible, what would I do?\u201d Let all those POSSIBILITIES FLOW out,<\/a> jot them down without judgement. No second guessing allowed. I mean it!<\/strong> When you\u2019ve exhausted all possibilities choose one.<\/li>\n
  3. Take action.\u00a0Take one simple, clear, positive step<\/strong> in the direction of your choice. Once in motion you will be able to see the next step<\/a> or you\u2019ll see new possibilities in new directions to move in. That is the POWER OF MOMENTUM.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The challenge here is getting past the initial, emotional, reactionary frame of mind, which is either going to cause you to run away or cause you to hunker down and protect yourself. You don’t want to react, you want to RESPOND.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    [shareable cite=”Abe Stone”]You don’t want to react, you want to RESPOND. #lifehack #sostartover[\/shareable]<\/p>\n

    BONUS THOUGHT: There is one last caveat. Taking responsibility,<\/strong> for those parts of your current situation which you are responsible for,\u00a0is empowering.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This is not blaming yourself or anyone for that matter. It is LETTING GO OF THE VICTIM<\/a> MENTALITY. Because, if you are responsible for something in your life, you can CHANGE IT.<\/p>\n
