through, I've just learned to be intentional about forward movement because you can sit

in a funk for so long, even, you know, I was, I was going through what I went through

for like six months. And like, you know, I've said in previous episodes, there was no reason

for it. It should have been like the happiest time of my life. Um, it was about four months.

And I couldn't identify why I was feeling the way that I was feeling, but what I was

grateful for was that I recognized that I was different. I recognized that I wasn't

myself. Sometimes you can be so in a negative rut that you don't really even recognize

that you're not yourself right now. So I did recognize it. And then I was just super.

If I can recognize it, I can treat it. Right. And so I'm like, yeah, well, my mind said

in that moment was be intentional. Like, don't let yourself go backwards. Like you've

worked way too hard to get what you where you are right now. Don't let yourself like

blow this. So I decided to be super intentional. I wrote out how I felt. And then I wrote

out all the things that make me feel amazing because when you're in a rut, you forget what

makes you feel good. That's a hack. Mm hmm. You forget what makes you feel good. So I

wrote in my journal a list of all the things that make me feel amazing. And every couple

of the days I was intentional when I couldn't think and see clearly, I could see it on

that list. So I went to that list. And if it was like, get my hair done, like, let's get

my hair done. If it was get a massage, if it was meditate journal, what, go for a walk.

I just wrote down those things that made me feel good. And that's like intentionally fighting

back rather than just letting the funk take you down. That's good. Remembering what makes

you feel good. And just go do that. And go do it. And, and, and it's hard to take it

off the paper and actually do it, right? So you've got to have your mental toughness.
