Catching Our Breath When Waves Hit You

Run down your reserves

Run down your reserves

We all have our reserves be it some favors that you have stored up, your savings, etc. These reserves are there so you can use them and they are only good if you know when to use them and if you are having trouble in life right now, maybe you can use them and they will be such a great help.

Your friends

You will only know who your true friends are during the bad times and these friends are the type of friends that you can lean on. Lean on them a little and show them that you trust them. Ask them for advice, their time or their help (if they can help you in that particular problem in your life). When you are gasping for air, it is very important that you make use of the friends that you have for support.

Ask for a break

When the waves are coming, ask for a break. You should not feel bad about asking for this especially if you are just asking to get you through a short bad patch. For example, you own someone money and at the moment you are really down and no money to spare, ask that person if he or she can extend the deadline and explain your situation. Make sure that you say this very nicely and politely.

Long-term survival

Your problem will only get bigger if you dont know what to focus on. The first thing that you have to do is attend to your most important needs first. Look after the basics of long-term survival because if not, a short-term bad patch can end up crippling you for life.

Downgrade your expectations

When you are in the middle of it, you may need to cut back on your expectations. Put your progress on hold even for a couple of days and concentrate on catching your breath. If its not that important, it can wait until you get back on your feet. However, before you stop doing something, mark where you left so that you can quickly get back to it when you get the chance.

Take one step at a time

In terms of catching your breath in life and when there are different pressures rolling in from all directions it is very easy to try and do many things at once. But dont do it. Focus on one thing first before you do other things. You will realize that by doing one thing at a time, you will be able to achieve more and get out of trouble faster than if you tried to accomplish a lot of things at once.

In our lives, there will always be huge waves that will come. The waves are constant and sometimes it just hits our feet and doesnt have too much effect in our lives in fact, when it hits our feet we sometimes enjoy it and we even linger on it because it feels great feeling that the wave is touching you, that you can feel it and that youre human and how good it feels. But when the big waves come crashing down on you, that is when you are left gasping for breath. You are wet and theres water in your mouth still or worse, you drowned a little. Knowing how you can catch that breath and get dried up without getting panicky is the key to stand in front of the ocean again and catch some waves and let these waves hit you because you know to yourself that even if a large wave knocks you out, you can get back up, more equipped and more stronger this time. You might even come with a tank of oxygen and a suit to protect yourself and that huge wave may topple you over but you can swim against it and get right back on the surface once again.
