Stuck in a RUT? A FUNK? A BAD MOOD? This happens to me ALL of the time. Especially since starting my own business, I find it happens more often. It can sometimes be hard to stay motivated when I'm the one in charge.  

Here's what I do to snap out of it!

1. TURN EVERYTHING OFF - literally. Turn off your phone, computer, and lights. Lie down on your bed or couch. Sometimes I do this for 10 minutes, sometimes an hour. It's like a nap for your soul.

2. GET OUTSIDE - this is the best and quickest way to get out of a funk. Getting a breath of fresh air can do wonders for your mood. 

3. GO ON A WALK - get the blood flowing, go on a walk and get lost in your thoughts. This is so therapeutic. Get a game plan for what you're going to do once you get home from your walk. Maybe you'll start dinner, do a mask on your face, paint your nails, or make that dreaded to-do list!

4. GET COFFEE WITH A FRIEND - if you're like me, then you're inspired and motivated a lot by others. Any time I get together with a mom boss or other women who are also trying to make a name for themselves, I leave so inspired and ready to take on the world. 

5. MAKE A LIST - a lot of times, my "funk" can be caused by anxiety that is caused by an endless to-do list that I haven't made yet. Make a freaking list. It helps. 

6. EXERCISE - Figure out a way to exercise! Endorphins are EVERYTHING. Join a gym that has community classes. I find it very boring and lonely to go to the gym and workout alone. But if I go to an actual class with other people who have the same goal, I get so motivated. Start building this into your daily routine.

7. CALL YOUR MOM - or your best friend, dad, a relative, anyone. Call for no reason. Just chat. 

8. GET IN THE KITCHEN - I find cooking or baking really relaxing. It requires you to shut everything else out for a moment, because you have to focus on a recipe. Turn some music on, pour your favorite beverage, and cook the blues away! BONUS: it's almost immediately rewarding, as you see your hard work as soon as you're done.
