How do you actually pick yourself back up and figure out a better way to keep yourself in check?

Big thing for me has been realizing that the things I procrastinate on, the things that I push off doing are easy.

I reframe it in my mind that they're not going to take forever.

They're realistically going to take three hours.

If that, really an hour and a half of work.

Another hour and a half of reels in between hard parts of work where you step away, lay down in your bed, and then you go, oh, I've got to go back to this.

So when I reframe it in that way, it makes me think, okay, like...

I don't have a bigger reason to procrastinate.

I don't fall in that same habit.

And it's so easy, I think, when you make it a part of your personality that your life is perpetually spiraling out of control and everything is bad.

Part of it, if I'm real with you, is just faking it until you make it.

There's never going to be a point where you will feel so much better about things.

It is entirely when you choose to exercise a perspective of optimism, a perspective of, yes, I got dumped.

Yes, you know, that 53rd job that I applied to told me that we're not, we love your application, but we're just, we decided to go with another candidate or we put the job on pause forever.

If it's not working the way that you're doing it, chances are you have to change the way that you're doing it.

Like...

It has really appalled me the amount of times in my own life, but I see it in other people where they complain about the fact that something isn't working and they haven't exhausted all the options.

If you genuinely have tried everything and it hasn't worked, maybe it wasn't supposed to.

Maybe that's just not something that is in your cards.

And guess what?
