One Phrase to Tell Yourself When You Can’t Seem to Catch a Break
Let’s face it, for many of us, this year has been, at times, excruciating. Life is always throwing us challenges, but if you feel like you can’t seem to catch a break right now, it’s not just you.
Life isn’t necessarily all about being easy and fun all the time. Marketing would have us believe chronic happiness is possible if we just buy those jeans or sign up for that course, but it’s simply not. We know this logically, but sometimes, we can get emotionally exhausted by too many blows, and wonder, when am I going to catch a break? Should I buy those jeans?
Maybe you’ve lost your job, got your heart smashed, are facing relationship issues, major life changes, or you keep trying to get your small business off the ground, and it’s just not happening. Maybe you are pitching articles every week and getting nothing but strings of rejection. Maybe you find yourself relapsing into bad habits and getting back on the wagon over and over again. We’ve all been there, or at least, many of us have, we just don’t tend to post about it on social media, or tell the world on a bumper sticker. Humans are proud creatures, and like cats, we tend to hide our pain, and most of us do it really well.
