how to get your LIFE back on track after derailing

When your life derails itself and you can't get back on track, it can be frustrating and painful. You were once on top of your game, but now you feel defeated. You feel helpless. Because no matter what you try, you can't get moving again. The reality is you usually can get back up, but you need to recognize something important. Obsessively focusing on what you once were leads to expectations that are poorly matched with where you are right now. It results in repeated failures, time after time, unconsciously programming your brain that you're simply not good enough. This is a common problem I see amongst many clients I work with. Imagine a marathon runner coming fresh out of surgery for a broken leg and insisting they immediately get back to their usual training. You wouldn't expect them to be able to walk, let alone run. We can go through a similar experience in the mind. So what can you do? First, let go of the ego. Then build an action plan with steadily increasing difficulty that starts off easy, like your own rehabilitation program. Get help if you need, as it can be hard. This will allow you to gain traction and momentum in a direction you need to go, whilst laying the foundations of the new version of you that is needed.
