What to do when you're down

LOP (The Language of the Poor) starts to creep in... what do we do now?

Today in NJ, it’s rainy and gross out. I woke up feeling down already because my throat hurt, I didn’t get enough sleep (was doom scrolling way too late last night), and facing the music of the day, my attitude just wasn’t there.

I felt a little bit hopeless like the mood of the dark windy fogginess outside.

Literally what I look like right now lol.

So this is what my mind sounds like when I feel sucky:

I have to write this stupid LOP book because it’s my job to get this out to the market. I said I would do it, and I don’t want to because writing a book is hard.

I wish I had a big team. I wish I was a big household name. It sucks being a solopreneur in the midrange of influencer success.

Someone with a following but not enough.

Someone with attention but not enough.

Someone making a tiny bit of chaching coming in but nowhere enough to be considered a real income. Still figuring this whole thing out.

It sucks being a mom, a homeowner, a person with ambition and talents because I end up feeling like I can’t do it all.

I walk around like a zombie and shop endlessly on facebook marketplace and look at houses on trulia bc it’s a way to distract from the day to day of real life and huge list of things I gotta do every given day.

Plus, I’m a content creator about self help, improvement, and empowerment.

I’m SUPPOSED to always sell the bright side of things and how to FIGHT LOP but here I am, singing the phrases of LOP again where I’m the world’s biggest victim.

So what the hell are we supposed to do? How can we fight our greatest enemy? Our lower, self indulging in and consumed by LOP ruining our day and sucking away our energy???

Here are some things I try to do and keep in mind (I’d love to hear yours so please comment):
