Self development - about problems

Problems...

I am amazed how sometimes in life you can see everything so clearly, all those steps where you wanna go.. and another moment it is just chaos in your head. Even though it happens over and over again throughout the time - meaning ups and downs - it still amazes me how it plays with your emotions.. where the rational mind has no or just a little control.. Just recently I started to feel that great distinction between rational and emotional perception.

Anyways, in "down" periods most likely you should refrain from substantial decisions which might affect you in any way. I believe so because decisions based on emotions most often are too unpredictable and unreasonable. You must be under control of your emotions. It is like two schools: rational and emotional one. In order to make a decent decision, both must be taken into account and kept in balance.

"Down" period checklist:

• Be patient.
• Build up confidence back little by little. The best way is to win small "battles" so you could be ready again to go for bigger ones.
• Identify what is most important for you on micro and macro levels.
• Have a healthy routine.
• Have time to yourself, but do not forget to rely on friends and family when needed.
• Think how much time to "breathe" you have - meaning finances, team expectations if relevant and any other deadlines.
• And most importantly, mind your own business - meaning ignore other people opinion or success IF it frustrates you! Do not be ignorant per se, cause that is different. Just ignore things which make you uncomfortable, cause it is like alcohol after the breakup. NOT GOOD :)

Long story short: "up" period - take as much as you can from that; "down" period - be patient.
