How Do We Handle SLUMPS?

 

SLUMPS come and go.  And if you are an NBA hoopster, those are the dreaded days although coaches are fully aware that it comes and goes.  It happens, even to Lebron James, the purported GOAT [Greatest of all time] which is still one of the raging debates WHEN he is compared to NBA greats like Michael Jordan.  How do we handle SLUMPS???

I remember during those years WHEN the web was still at its infancy stage and if existing apps at that time were more geared for enterprises rather than as mobile apps.  Those years, our company had its own basketball team as part of the country's professional basketball league.  And at times, some of the basketball players will walk into our offices to help check their 'biorhythm' state for that day they have a game💙💛💚

BUT WHAT somehow bothers me are the MENTAL SLUMPS which happens to each of us from time to time.  Indeed, it is worst feeling WHEN you have big plans BUT your mind just DOESN'T feel like it.  Surely we can share that feeling, right?  Being in a mental SLUMP can really mess up our goals [OR at least our tasks and plans for day].  Overall, though, it throws a 'monkey wrench' in our priorities💧💧💧

Admittedly, there have been times in the past WHEN I myself I wanted to get myself off the phone because at times, my brain was just NOT 'having it'.  So, the question is, HOW can we get ourselves out of a mental SLUMP fast enough?  Of course, we DON'T want to wait until we feel like doing something because that be so long, whew!@#$%?

Our takeaway: Let's agree that a mental SLUMP is kind of broad and may mean something differently to everyone.  To me, a mental SLUMP is WHEN you just CAN'T seem to get myself to do practically anything.  LIKE I'm feeling a bit LOST.  LIKE I DON'T have any direction and my thoughts are all over the place.  LIKE I might be spending a big chunk of my time on social media just to 'KILL TIME' [and getting 'hostaged' by those endless and incessant feeds].  BUT in most cases, it's likely because I DON'T know WHAT to do with myself at that point in time.  That's WHEN my overall mental well-being is figuratively and sometimes literally 'down'.  BUT WHAT's puzzling is that during those episodes, we're NOT depressed BUT on the other hand, NOT happy 'enough'.  In short, it's just that 'LIMBO' that I seem to get stuck at times.  SO HOW?  Let's translate these vociferous words into concrete action:  RISE UP and MOVE❗❗❗
