Do you think that those salmon swimming upstream, getting battered and bruised, stop to
think:
"What did I do to deserve this?"

3 STEPS FOR
SURVIVING A TOUGH SWIM:
1) Release the hook.
*Are you increasing your difficulty by accusing yourself of wrong-doing?
*Ask yourself if this is helping you get through the problems.
*Even in those cases where you might have some complicity, don't make things harder by scolding yourself. It's a waste of your energy!
2) Ask for help.
*Reach out to others for support and assistance.
*Be clear about what you actually need.
3) Be good to yourself through tough times.
*There's always something you can do to give yourself a lift…
*When
all else fails - breathe!
We have a
tendency to hold our breaths during times of duress - just when we are most in need of deep breathing!
