Why being in a funk was the best thing that happened to me ☝️
It’s okay to fall down
You fell off the wagon and you feel like the biggest failure. Now what? I’m here to tell you there is so much goodness to come from the funky funk.
Go ahead and feel it, really feel it, acknowledge it and give yourself so much grace. The more grace you have for yourself, the easier it will be to rise up because you won’t be against yourself. There’s no need to be an enemy to ourself when we have enough battles to fight.
Learn from that fall. You’re human, no biggie. We fall for a reason!
It’s okay to rest
There’s one thing between being lazy and just needing rest. You’ll know the difference so stop beating yourself up over getting more sleep on your day off than doing allllllll the things.
To function properly and to be able to achieve tasks, your physical and mental health cannot be put on the back burner. It’ll bite you in the butt (ouch).
Once I started balancing out my overall health and my passions instead of doing all or nothing, I felt so much more energy and happiness throughout my day to day, which was the most refreshing change evaaaa.
You DON’T have to do every thing
That big ole to-do list you have going on…yeah throw it away. Well, like 1/4 of it and put the other 3/4 aside.
For optimal results and success, you need to focus on one thing at a time. I know, it sounds lame.
I know you want to do all the things to try to reach your goals faster though that will only cause you to burn out BIG TIME. And trust me, burn outs aren’t fun unless they are done in a car in a parking lot.
Focus on the one thing that’s been tugging at your heart and that serves your people well. That will bring you the most fulfillment to start off with, which will put you into 4 wheel drive to be able to do more things you desire to do as your best self.
AND ENJOY IT. Enjoy the crazy awesome process of what you’re working on right now.
This is your journey - It won’t be a perfect straight line!!! The process is so beautiful.
Get off social media and get into reality. Stop looking at people’s perfect highlight reels and get in touch with what is real. This is REAL STINKIN LIFE. There will be rough days, rough months, etc.
Though guess what? You don’t have to live in those places. You have the power to find the butterflies and rainbows in every storm life throws at you.
Enjoy your life journey. It’s what molds you and allows you to bring light into other peoples’ journeys.
Do what makes sense now & what is pulling you the most right now
Now that I’ve learned to appreciate the funk I was in and the beauty in it, I am on FIRE to do what I was made to do. On fire to serve my people, to serve YOU.
Now that we’ve broken some things down on why the funk you’re going through might be the best thing to happen to you. It’s time to take that step forward like we talked about.
That one thing we talked about in paragraph 3? Get on outta here and get to it honey.
Lemme tell ya, nothing is stopping you except yourself. Cheesy, yes, but seriously so true.
Do it imperfectly. Do it authentically. Do it for your future self. Do it for your peeps.
Future Shayla is thanking me right now as I type this and who knows who all this might affect.
Have some dang fun with it. You are writing your life story so please have some some fun and don’t hesitate too much about it all.
If you are in a funk right now, I’m cheering you on. If you need any help with this and would like to be uplifted to your full potential, message my FB page to get in touch. I’ve been there, done that and got your back.
