When it comes to our lives, our jobs, our parenting, our successes, The giving up mentality is so easy to obtain, but becomes so hard to let go of. The "Giving Up Mentality", can consume us, drain us, and spiral out of control, into depression, hopelessness, and defeat.
If things aren't working the way you've been doing them, then try something new. You cant expect to get a new outcome by doing the same things over and over. If you are wanted a new outcome, do something new. Giving up often stems from making the same efforts , but expecting a different outcome. As the saying goes, by Albert Einstein, Insanity- doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a new outcome. Insanity can quickly lead to us feeling defeated, and wanting to give up. One must refuse to give up, by understanding what factors contribute to giving up .
Being Real:
I will be real with you all, lately I have been stuck in a "just give up" mindset. I have been down, and have felt defeated. I have allowed my feelings of defeat, and lack of motivation drag me away from my blog, my passions, and simply overtake my life. It is ok to be real, we all have moments of being so overwhelmed that we could just give up, that laying in bed or on the couch is easier then trying to succeed. Days, weeks, where life grabs hold of us so tightly that we become suffocated, and the life is sucked out of us. Having days like that are fine, but my biggest inspirational advice to you all is to not get "stuck" in the bad days, the bad mindsets, the giving up mentality. GET UP, DON"T GIVE UP!! Here is how!!
