4 Tips to Get Out of Your Funk<\/h2>\n

By Mary Spiegelberg<\/h4>\n

We are all destined to get into a funk every now and then. Whether it\u2019s just for a day or it lasts a couple weeks, feeling \u201coff\u201d is never fun. Quality of life is EVERYTHING, so here are four tips to help you fight the funk.<\/p>\n

1. Wakeup grateful<\/h3>\n

Before you get out of bed and start your morning routine think about three things you are truly grateful for. Take time to reflect on the reasoning behind your pickings and why they were chosen. Today I am grateful for the bed I woke up in because it offered me a cozy place to rest in order to save up the energy needed to conquer this day!<\/p>\n

2. Feel feelings<\/h3>\n

Often times we feel pressured to suppress feelings in order to get through the work day. While this may be needed in a professional setting, it is not needed at home. Your home, or car drive home, is a safe place to be vulnerable and feel. Allow yourself to feel sad, lonely, stressed, or whatever it may be. Invest in a self-proclaimed pity party and get dinner with friends, turn off your cell phone, and\/or take a much needed nap. Do something that makes you truly happy and \u201creset.\u201d But here is the catch, put a time limit on your pity party. Tell yourself that after your night or day of clemency it is time to go out and take on the world again.<\/p>\n

3. Accomplish something, anything<\/h3>\n

Feeling overwhelmed and unaccomplished? Set a tangible goal you know you can reach by the end of the week and write it down; it can be as simple as getting to the gym an extra day this week or cooking a new Dolce-inspired meal. A weekly goal too much? Set a goal for the next hour. The key is to get the productive ball rolling. Completing a task gives a sense of accomplishment and will give you the motivation you need to set your next goal.<\/p>\n

4. Breathe<\/h3>\n

Probably the most simple and critical step to fighting the funk. Take 10 seconds and close your eyes. Clear your mind and focus solely on taking deep breaths in and out. Remember, it cannot rain forever and the sunshine is only a day away when you choose to see it. You are strong. You are capable. You can do this.
