Do you ever have days where you feel out of balance, unmotivated, and just plain blah? And you find yourself stuck in a funk even though you have no idea why? And no matter what you do you can\u2019t seem to figure out how to snap out of it?\u00a0 Yeah\u2026we\u2019ve all been there\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a lot like Dr. Seuss described when he wrote (in the book Oh, The Places You\u2019ll Go):<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you’re in a Slump,<\/span> There are all kinds of articles on the web that offer suggestions for how to pull yourself out of a funk. And many of them give valuable ideas on different things to try such as taking a walk, going to visit a friend, doing service for another person, trying out a new hobby, mixing up your routine, etc.<\/p>\n But the fact is that some days you are just going to feel off. When I have one of those days I have found that if I just force myself to push through it, getting the things done that I have to get done, then I can get through the day and climb into my bed, telling myself that tomorrow morning I will wake up and everything will be better. As I fall asleep I remember how Dr. Seuss goes on to say:<\/p>\n \u201cOh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done!<\/span> Then wake up the next morning and in the words of Dr. Seuss, know that:<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re off to great places,<\/span> Have a fabulous day everyone and have a glorious weekend!<\/p>\n ~Amy Rees Anderson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you ever have days where you feel out of balance, unmotivated, and just plain blah?
