The one thing to do if you feel in a funk.

There are many things you can do if your struggling with the transitions, that in itself can be overwhelming. But undeniably the most important area of focus is your mindset. You must go to work on levelling up your mindset To create a conscious awareness around your thoughts and start to take control and own what you are thinking about so, if need be you can start to change it.

What do you do if you're feeling stuck, lost or feeling in a funk after your travels.

“Change the way you look at things and the way you look at things change”

— Wayne Dyer

What do you do?

How do you level up your mindset, Change your state and create new beliefs for yourself?

If you are constantly feeling sad, upset, confused, lost or frustrated with certain areas of your life, it is worth looking at what your thoughts are creating around those areas and begin making changes. There are many ways you can start to tap into your mind and create new behaviours and patterns. Ultimately you need to get yourself into alignment.

4 practices to get into alignment

Meditation / Mind awareness
Visualisation
Conscious creation and showing up as you want to be (taking inspired action)
Movement

Final Thoughts

If you are feeling in a funk after returning home from travel or any other challenging situation, start by looking at your mindset. Ask yourself these questions...

What thoughts am I thinking that are making me feel this way?
How do I want to feel?
How can I change my state, at this very moment, to make me feel the way I want to, what can I do that will make me feel joy?

Consciously start to take control and reprogram your mind to a place that serves you better so you can start feeling in alignment.

Stop pursuing happiness and start living it now.

So many people lead themselves to believe that happiness (success, joy, love) is in the future and they become addicted to chasing that feeling. How would you know if you're pursuing happiness instead of living it. Think about these questions...

Life is about the journey, not the destination. Cure destination addiction and the PURSUIT of happiness.

“Beware of destination addiction, a preoccupation with the idea that happiness is in the next place, the next job or with the next partner. Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.”

— Robert Holden

Are you PURSUING happiness or are you actually LIVING it?

Is there always a 'pinnacle event' on your calendar that you are looking forward too more so than anything else?
Do you always feel busy?
After a big exciting event in your life, do you fall into a mild sense of depression that you can't shake?
Do you have so many plans, forecasts, projections about what you want for your future, but you're not enjoying the process of bringing them to life?

Falling into these ways of thinking and living can be so easy especially if we are not aware that we are doing so. You must learn to stop placing everything that makes you happy in your future and outside of your control.

How can you cure destination addiction and the PURSUIT of happiness?

I'll be the first person to tell you that I still fall into the destination addiction trap from time to time. As with any addiction, I believe it all begins with regaining control of your mindset. So Here are some actions that I have applied to my life to help me feel happy NOW!

Apply personal daily practices to help get present. E.g. Active stretching routine, meditation, exercise, get into nature.
Think and FEEL about what in your life excites you right NOW?
Tune in to what is actually going on for you in your life right now.
Create awareness around your thoughts and actively choose a positive mindset for yourself. Choose to feel happy for no reason.
Stop placing your happiness in things external to yourself...your relationship, your job or your next exciting holiday. Just create it now - it is a choice.
Consciously set your day up for happiness and success.

Remember you always have a choice on how you show up. Your situation in life may not be picture perfect or your ideal. Let go of that mindset and start focusing in on your life and how you can be and feel happy now.

Drop the idea that happiness and success is something that will come to you at the end of the road, the top of the mountain, when the championship rolls around when you reach that goal, that next holiday or you finally nail that job you wanted.

Why you should never stop travelling.

The world has so much to offer...

Travel continually teaches us to grow and evolve. I say continually because sometimes we don't learn the lessons the first time round, or we don't fully pick them up and adopt them, or we lose them.

The world has so much to offer so here are 5 reasons why you should never stop travelling.

“Travelling is the only thing you buy that makes your richer.”

The world has so much to offer...

Travel continually teaches us to grow and evolve. I say continually because sometimes we don't learn the lessons the first time round, or we don't fully pick them up and adopt them, or we lose them.

Common lessons and learnings that people say they have gained from travel are to have an open perspective on life, how to be flexible, adaptable and capable of doing things you thought you couldn't do, how to be resourceful and look within rather than outside yourself to get something done and that travel teaches us that life is to be enjoyed and to choose an adventure.

5 reasons to never stop travelling

Travelling is unknown, NEW and thats exciting….There is always a new place to go, new people to meet and new cultures to experience.
Travelling helps you to continually dive into curiosity and playfulness.
Travelling is fun, rich and creates lasting memories.
Travel disrupts the mundane routine
Finally (might sum up the last 4 points) Travelling offers us an opportunity for growth, learnings, lessons and expansion.

Are you glorifying your travel memories?

How do you look back on your travel memories? The common thread is that you remember the good times. Most of the time, you forget the rest. The seemingly ‘bad’ and ‘challenging’ times turn into moments of ‘overcoming challenges’ and you look upon these with a positive outlook. On occasions I believe you glorify these memories. Making these memories seem even more amazing than they actually were, attaching the strongest and most amazing emotions to them.

The unrealistic stories and emotions we connect to travel to make it seem 'better' than where our life is at right now!

“Never let your feelings get in the way of seeing things as they truely are.”

The common thread is that you remember the good times. Most of the time, you forget the rest. The seemingly ‘bad’ and ‘challenging’ times turn into moments of ‘overcoming challenges’ and you look upon these with a positive outlook.

On occasions I believe you glorify these memories. Making these memories seem even more amazing than they actually were, attaching the strongest and most amazing emotions to them.

The reason is this is important to RECOGNISE is that there are some instances, such as Reverse Culture Shock, experiencing Post Travel Blues or your in a time where your unable to travel but you want to...maybe its a stage of life that your in so it can be unhealthy to look at our memories this way. Making us feel worse about our present situation.

Thinking of travels or any situations for that matter, can lead to “glorification” to the point we envy our past.

SO...Perhaps nothing good and nothing bad?I believe that in life you experience emotions 50% what you label ‘positive’ and 50% what you label ‘negative.’

The opposite is also true. You can also dramatise the negativity of a situation. Stating how awful and horrible it was and deep diving into these emotions. Painting this time in a far worse light than it actually was

It's up to you how you see a situation, look at what you gained from it? The challenge that you faced, the wonderful time that you had. Just don't over glorify it and make it something that it wasn't. Especially if your working through a tough stage of your life, it will only make things more challenging for you.
