Back On Your Feet
Give yourself time as it takes a little time sometimes to get your feet back on the ground.

I know how you feel. I don’t want to rush you. But if you’re struggling, see this as a note left on your doorstep.
· Allow yourself to feel the pain
Admitting that you’re in a bad place and going through a mess is the first step in moving forward. So many people waste their time convincing themselves that they can “fix” a certain problem, person or situation. Some things are not meant to be fixed. Acknowledging the awfulness that has surrounded your present gets you to ground zero. Now from there give yourself the time necessary for the pain to leave your body. Don't avoid it, feel it and accept the pain.
· Identify what brings you joy
When you feel like crap, trying to get back on solid ground might seem like an impossible task. You’re just doing your best to survive. So start small. Aim for finding tiny moments of joy. Think of as many joyous moments as you possibly can and write them down. Maybe it’s the way the sun touches your face in the morning, the way the cat snuggles up against your bare legs or the way a warm shower feels before you climb into a bed made with freshly laundered sheets.
Collect the moments because what you focus on, you’re more likely to find.
· Get your army together
Close family or friends that can help you build yourself back up. Keep you busy. Offer you an ear or support. If you have things that need to happen, let them lend a hand.
· Get busy
Fill your day up with activity. Make short-term goals to get you through your day and week. Eliminate the stimuli around you that remind you of your downfall. Look for new hobbies, get back into your exercise routine, sign up for a 5K, a hiking club, a knitting circle, a book club – anything to keep your nights and weekends occupied with new people to interact with.
· Make room for happiness
Once you find your footing, make some room for happiness. At first, the moments that make you smile will be tiny, short and almost unrecognizable. Acknowledge the feeling. It’s about training your mind to again notice what’s good in life.
· Make yourself the priority and treat yourself well
Understand that Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will the rest of the happy life that you’re rebuilding.
· Be open to new opportunities around you
When a last minute invite comes your way to do something, say “Yes.” Be spontaneous to allow yourself to experience the unknown.
· Recognize the remarkable path that you’ve journeyed, how you’ve battled to get where you are and will continue to fight
Maintain your focus, figure out what you want next and then make the changes in your life to get there. Your future awaits you. Give yourself time just to be with yourself_
