How To Start Over : When The Government Shuts Down

The thought of losing a job, or actually losing your job is a terrifying thought. When our basic necessities are taken away, we no longer have the ability to fuction normally.

According to Maslows Heirarchy of Basic Needs, we all need phsical survival needs (food, sleep, oxygen, and shelter), physical safety ( from danger, harm, or being attacked), love and belonging (friends, and family), self esteem (confidence), and self-fulfillment met.

Abraham Maslow was a psychologist who was devoted to finding out how people got the best out of themselves.

When we have our basic neccesities, fear of lacking simply doesn’t exist, and fear cannot thrive where it is non existent.

Fear:

An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous and likely to cause pain.

SO…HOW THE HELL DOES SOMEONE START OVER AFTER THEY’VE VE LOST EVERYTHINNG?

Check Your Emotions:

Emotions-

A natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.

When we are able to control our emotions, we are then able to control the outcome of ANY situation. Yes! Any!

One method that really works is to be mindful of how you feel in every situation. Notice what makes you frustrated, angry, happy, excited, etc. Take note of yourself!

Once you have enough notes to draw conclusions about yourself, use this as your template for future emotional events.

This is your HOLY GRAIL…

NEXT…

Come up with a strategic plan for getting yourself out of this mess. Consider your options. What can you do to fix it? What is impossible to fix? What steps can you take within your control?

Exude every option until you can’t think of anymore. I would suggest not spending more than a day on this. If you have to spend more time, do this process for one hour at a time, whenever you can. Remember, you need a plan now, the longer you wait, the more time passes by.

I like to call this part of the journey “Conception.”. It’s a plan, within a plan, within a plan…

Ultimately you are conceiving every step of the way, planting seeds that will eventually blossom.

With all of your options considered, come up with a SECOND STRATEGY. This second plan’s purpose is to map out all ways you can avoid being placed in the event that caused you to lose everything in the first place.

If you were let go from a job, perhaps the next job you could take note on WHAT went wrong. Did you make any mistakes? How can you avoid it next time?

You may have to step down off your stallion for a moment to really analyze your true self. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes.

If you are DONE WITH JOBS this is a perfect time to start a business. You may have to work a part time job in the beginning to be financially stable, but eventually you can leave your 9-5 and pursue your passions.

Don’t think of starting over as a bad thing. There are levels to this shit. Think of yourself as LEVELING UP, and the universe is supporting your elevation.

So go ahead! We challenge you to get through this next level in your life!

How To Live Your Dreams

/ Kindred Spirit / Leave a comment

Happy 2019!

Many start their New Year off with resolutions. I’m very reluctant to create New Year’s resolutions for the mere fact that they don’t work. With that being said, what really helps to start fresh is deciding the life you’d like to have moving forward.

I used to be one of those people who never “had time” to do the things I love. Or in order for me to live my dreams, I had to save money or have the funds to start a business.

I felt it was truly impossible to work a 9 to 5 and peruse my dreams at the same time. That’s because it was true. I didn’t have a plan to juggle both, making the thought extremely far fetched.

I went through countless YouTube videos, read tons of articles, and still, I had no idea where to begin living my dreams. I just knew I was tired of doing the same thing over and over. I needed a plan.

I didn’t grow up with elders who knew how to become wealthy, along with creating a passive income. They only knew how to guide us in survival.

Im thankful I had all of my basic needs met growing up. But, when you are an adult paying bills, going to work, and waking up everyday just to do it all over again, is not satisfying.

So how do you start to live your dreams?…

Start with a plan.

The first thing I did was I wrote down all of the things I was dissatisfied with in all areas of my life that I was unhappy about.

“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” Benjamin Franklin

Secondly, I jotted down all of my resources and expenses to give myself a reference of where I was financially to see if it was even possible to take small steps to fulfilling my dreams.

Then, I took a few days away from what I wrote, down to figure out what my DREAM life really meant. You will be surprised at what you discover. This part of the process really gave me hope. It made me realize that what I wanted to attain was actually not that hard to achieve.

The more research I did, the easier it became. I found that my dreams ended up being goals. All I needed to get to my dreams was consistency, and to never give up until all goals were reached.

What I found was if I took small steps to reach my goals, eventually I’d get there. Now that the “problem” areas in my life were addressed, everything else became more clear. It gave me a start.

I strategically planned my life for a year. I wrote it down an stuck to it on a weekly basis. If I didn’t reach my goals that week, I added it to the following week.

As a result of this plan I created in January 2018, I have been able to work for myself the last 6 months.

I’m sharing my story because everyone deserves to live their dreams. We all need a little clarity and guidence sometimes.

Although we don’t have “forever”, and some of our biological clocks are ticking, you may feel this may not apply to you, but dreams are for everyone.

It’s probably been some time since you’ve had a planner, agenda, or notebook. I’d highly recommended getting something to write down your goals. Writing your goals is like a written contract binding you to yourself.

I hope this helps you find clarity in whatever you are looking for. Whether your dream is big or small.
