Can't be a coincidence I'm seeing this now. cause it's happening to me rn and man is it hard to stay positive Like what am I supposed to do when nothing goes right. I just got out of college and thought I landed a great place to start and learn but now it's like I'm worse off than where I started. I feel like I'm trying but nothing is going my way. I just need a win but it's hard to keep trying everyday

I get it, trust me I do! I think you need to start to reframe all that is going on in your life.

  1. Don't try to do "fake" positive, because that doesn't work. Focus instead on accepting everything just as it is. That's acceptance.

  2. Look for any area of your life that is going well. I can tell you that just being young is a gift. Being young means you have the time to invest into discovering who you are, what you want to do in life, how you want to feel in life. You have energy to work hard. You know and understand social media. You grew up on the age of technology and just get it. And etc....

- focus on what you have that you may not realize are your "wins". Get into an attitude of gratitude. "I woke up. I am healthy. I can see, hear, walk, talk. I have energy. I have strength. I can research my next steps online. I can reach out to strangers on LinkedIn and someone will respond. ETC..."

Focus on what you can be grateful for. Focus on what you CAN do and reframe what's happening in your life.

Happy to provide more advice if you need it.
