If You Don't Like Something, Then Do Something

If You Don't Like Something, Then Do Something

Former U.S. President Donald Trump may be a polarizing public figure but if he stands out in a mammoth crowd, it's because he vociferously WALKS THE TALK especially If You Don't Like Something, Then Do Something.  Even prior to his White House term of office, he hosted THE APPRENTICE [American Series] for fourteen seasons.  And when he perceives a contestant as a LOSER, out he steps OUT before the show ends👏👏👏

While I am not an ardent follower of Former U.S. President Donald Trump, I admire him for his FULL TRANSPARENCY.  While he has his cordon sanitaire, his coterie of closest and trusted advisers, once someone falls short of his expectations, he would give that confidant the pink slip soonest.  And to cap it all, he can go to Twitter and share that decision⏳⏳⏳

When nothing sounds good to you, and even well-intentioned suggestions from loved ones might make you a little cranky.  It's just absolutely natural to feel this from time to time, especially during times of STRESS or when you end up busier than usual.  When this loss of interest [a.k.a. APATHY] or reduced pleasure in the things you usually enjoy persists, it may suggest something more serious.  BUT usually, this feeling is only temporary and WHAT we want to do now is explore ways and means to SHAKE IT OFF💴💷💵

So, with that WHAT IF situation where you just CAN'T withstand it, WHAT do we do?  Yessssirrrr. as this poster seems to scream, YOU CAN GET OUT.  Frankly, you can TAKE A BREAK.  Sometimes, NOT wanting to do anything is your mind and body's way of asking for a BREAK.  If you tend to push yourself to your limit more often than NOT, respecting your NEEDS for a rest can help you avoid BURNOUT.  Self-compassion is key in this situation. Acknowledge your HARD WORK, and then give yourself permission to take some DOWNTIME.  Take a nap, scroll through your favorite social media app OR do whatever feels relaxing📗📙📘

TAKING A BREAK can help us recharge mentally and even physically and in the process, be able to think more clearly and even perform much better.  On the flip side, it can help us to avoid committing mistakes [especially at work] when we are even in a 'mild internal turmoil'.  Once we TAKE A BREAK, try GETTING OUT for some light physical activity  even if it's just a 10-minute walk around the block.  Frankly, it can even RESET OUR MOOD💎💎💎

Taking a lift from the 'old school', it teaches us to try JOURNALLING as it can help us sort through our emotions and exploring our emotional state may shed some light on WHY we DON'T want to do anything OR get involved with a particular task OR activity.  This can be particularly helpful if we HAVEN'T felt like doing much for more than a few days.  Unfortunately, emotions can occupy our thoughts and make it hard to think about doing anything else.  As a starter, we can try 'LIGHT JOURNALLING' even if it DOESN'T make it hard to think about doing anything else📌📌📌

WHAT'S our takeaways here?  Primero, DON'T push yourself on something you yourself are resisting [and aghast] to do because you WON'T progress and in case you do it, you can miserably FAIL.  First things first, BAIL OUT, reach out for your parachute in life because that's the safest WAY OUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, THEN DO SOMETHING❗❗❗
