How to move forward

Change Your State

Change your attitude by changing your state. This is a popular personal development technique for a good reason, and it can take all sorts of different forms.

For example, if you’ve been indoors a lot, step out of your house and spend the whole day outside.

If you’re feeling despondent, get your body moving by dancing or exercising. If you’re hearing the critical voices of others (or yourself), drown it out by putting on your most optimistic music and singing along.

In addition, reach out to people who make you feel good and who know your true self. Sometimes, just talking to them will be enough to shake you out of your funk.
