You are having a smooth ride in your life and all of a sudden disaster strikes. You are fired from your job in the middle of your career; your business makes a nosedive and leaves you bankrupt; you are a shining sport-person but an injury lames you or a natural calamity wipes you out. What to do?
Today I will arm you with some powerful tips so that any time in your life if you encounter an unwelcoming situation, you can get over it before it engulfs you.
Recharge Yourself
This is the time to reload yourself with full energy and grit that you had in past when you were at the peak of your prosperity. You may daily need few minutes to summon up your lost strength, perhaps you want to go for a long walk or you want to hit the gymnasium or go running up a hill.
Often after being hit by a storm we tend to feel discouraged and lackadaisical. This is akin to keeping your mobile device charged all the time so it is ready for action. All this will give you a reason to think and focus on how hard you need to train yourself to ride out this logjam.
Save Energy
While you are preparing for a start over it is mandatory to optimize your physical and mental resources wisely. It is a natural process, all living being do this to work faster and keep up with the time. A generator stays silent until it is called to explode into action.
A stalking Cheetah saves every ounce of him to aggregate full strength he is going to devour during a thirty seconds chase to kill its quarry. For this you need to plan your activities and divide the chunks of energy into major activities like planning, analyses or unpredictable situations which might injure your work.
Saving strength and minimizing waste of it will maintain your vigour and enthusiasm in your enterprise.
Be Confident
A man without confidence is a crumbling mountain. Confidence is the backbone of a man. A fully confident soldier without a weapon can inflict tremendous damage to his enemy. First off whatever the circumstances are, be confident about your achievements and strengths.
Don’t lose hope but relax. You may have lost most valuable assets but you still possess skills; you have experience on your side; you have the muscle to push the limits. Remember how you gained that success; what efforts you made; what your strategy was.
Go through every aspect one by one and lay the plan to make a comeback because nothing can hold you up, for you are the in-charge of your life.
Give Your 100 Percent
Make the genuine efforts. If you don’t do that you are unlikely to make it. You need to understand that you are starting over; there is a time window and you have a workload to finish regularly. You need to think about the resources, the time, the money you have. You need to ensure you have enough time for your plans. You may need to change your routine.
Maybe you will get less sleep in night; let’s say 6 hours or cut daytime naps completely but that will allow you to focus more on your undertaking and get the most out of your efforts.
Now guys money; you must calculate how much money your business is going to take versus how much you can invest plus the amount you require for yourself, four your family, your kids. Therefore, you are going to cut down on your extra expenses. This may include your new clothing, holidaying or even household items.
Don’t Chicken Out
Often times when we collapse and we lose our nerve; it further damages your will-power and restricts you from thinking clearly and deciding the right step. Think like a lion when first attempt fails him, he retreats only to execute a second attack. We have more brain, much resources and abundant ideas than a lion.
Think back when you took risks and won the situations; nothing has changed only a trial has come into your path. Therefore my advice to you, never pull back from any undertaking.
Think Positive / Be Optimistic
Don’t put yourself down like a pushover. Be the man for yourself. Every day we encounter thousands of negative thoughts but your aim should be to move forward. Feel the passion in your work; hook up with your friends’ relatives who stand for you. Share your feelings with your wife, your parents who can give you an emotional support; remember your goal and stay on it. Look around you the people who toil day in day out to earn their daily bread. You are at a better position to outdo and outperform others. Look at the ants how they stay focused despite the challenges. Likewise you need to be on your target.
Assess Your Progress
Once you start sailing in the right direction keep a check on your performance at each milestone. If you are making significant improvements that’s a good sign. Contrarily if there is no or little progress this is the time to change your policy or action steps. Maybe you are investing more time and money but the results are not worth it. Cut through each problem one by one.
Analyze the graph of your success. See if the actions and accomplishments are proportional. Draw new plans to embed into your mission. Remove any weak link if you find.
Row The Boat Nonstop
Don’t stop rowing the boat if you have pushed everyone far behind. After you have gained a satisfactory position, still keep working as hard- this is the point you slipped from in the past. You will not have opportunity again. This is the final lap of your race and you want to win it.
Never Lower Your Guard
If there is a lull, still be alert. They are running just behind you- your rivals I mean!! Many kings lost their crown and several business magnets lost their empire due to an invisible enemy within. They thought they had conquered it and the next moment they lost it all !!
