Stuck

The last couple of weeks have been extremely trying for me.

I felt stuck with no way out. I knew where I wanted to go but when I was immersed in the situation, it felt too hard to get out from. All this was negatively affecting my well being and was causing my happiness levels to go backwards.

The demotion in my job, the failed leads in my career, the stagnating business, the broken relationships, the friends who left me. I was not getting anywhere and despite my knowledge and conniving I was not finding a way out. Added to that, all my time was caught up in this misery that gave way to more misery creating a vicious hurt cycle.

I was way too caught up on the problems and how bad the situation was and I was spending all my time on the continuing stream of work I had that I pushed what mattered to the side. I thought I was too good to take care of my wellbeing, that I didn't need it, that once I fixed my problems then I can focus on happiness. I was wrong.

Instead, I felt down and couldn't concentrate on my work, my business, my life. I was stressed out, started losing my hair, and not socialising.

I am lucky I realised this early and that I have this resource to draw upon. I remembered some happiness lessons and put them into practice. I was not following my own writings captured in this blog.
