When life give you lemons....

Life is a pretty amazing thing but sometime... it sucks! Do you ever realized that life always have a way to test you? When you decide you want to start something new, start a new diet, start being zen, start a new job, a new hobby etc..

I do. I know that fact for a very long time and now I learn to embrace it.
Recently, everything seem to happen at the same time. I lost my steady job because they closed my department. I also decide that I need to start back my healthy life style after months of eating junk & Tacos (I love the southern food a little too much!).

So here how life tested me. I was super motivated, make my meal plan, my workout plan for the week and was super excited about it. Then, I got urinary tract infection (really ?) wasn't able to sleep for 3 days and got in bed in a foetal position for 2 days. Yes really. Bye bye plans! I was in bed and was deeply craving for sugar ! (but I resisted) Ended up with antibiotics and an upset stomach.
Life was saying : Are you really sure you wanted this?
Me : Oh lord, I can't workout and cook I want to sleep!

Same thing for work, I found a perfect side job that really excited me and give me the opportunity to really work and prove what I am able to do. Then life tested me : I lost my other steady job.
What , really? Are you kidding me ?
Nope.  I know this is not life and death situation. I will get back on my feet but this is just to prove that sometimes, when you decided to start something, life got this way to test you , just to be sure you got the nerves to do it.

Here is some tips to help you say : YES  I can do it !

• Stay focus on your goal! 

There is nothing worst than losing your goal. You will question yourself sometimes and that is normal but no need to quit what your really want because you have  bump in the road. Stay focus of what you want to do and remind yourself everyday that you can do it.

• Tell yourself that is just life testing you and that you can do it!

When you feel overwhelmed and it's seem to be too much, just tell yourself that is just life testing you and that you will pass the test. 

• Let the fear in the closet !

Yes, starting something new or having new projects it's scary. But it's time to let your fear in the closet. You don't need them, they won't let you grow and accomplish what you really want. 

• Stay positive !

People have tendancy to be negative about change. If your people are not sure about what you need to do or about what your doing, let them have their own thoughts. Stay positive and confident that life will turn out for the best for you

• Have faith!

In doubt, rely on something bigger than you. Tell yourself that better days are coming and that you are gonna make the best of that hard period of time. 

You know they said that when life give you lemons, make lemonade. To make lemonade you have to press every lemons one by one. So take the bull by the horns and pressed them !
