What to do When You Feel you have Hit Rock Bottom?

There always comes a time in our life when we feel like all hell has broken loose and it is going to be absolutely impossible for us to make it out of the current mess that life looks like in the present moment. Each individual has for sure at some point in time in life been through that phase where they felt like not a single thing in their life is working out and anything they chose to do seemed to be the absolutely wrong thing they ever thought of doing. It feels like all aspects of our life is collapsing at the same point in time and we are not being able to do anything to stop this disaster from striking all the crucial aspects of our life.

We all go through that part life where we are compelled to feel that we are never going to get up and restart the journey of life all over again. No matter what we do, we are just not able to see that ray of light in a life full of darkness. We are just not able to strike a chord with that one step that will hold our hands and lead us out of the darkness and give us the much-required hope to go on with life. We all have witnessed this kind of turmoil in our lives, and such a phase is generally termed as hitting rock bottom. As rightly as it is said, you do feel like you have hit that chapter in life after which there is absolutely nothing left to do or to look forward to.


Life is all about ups and downs, no one individual has had an absolutely flawless life and has never faced any kind of failure. Life moves in such a way that all of us have periods of success and then there are those times when things do not fall into place and we are not able to make sure that our life works exactly how we wish for it to. We need to keep the fact in mind that not all things in life are under our control and we are not able to make all things we want work out the way we feel is correct and at the point in time, we wish to experience it. Some of the things in life are not under control no matter what we do to make it happen according to our preferences.

What each individual will need to remember is the idea that along the journey of life even if we cannot choose what is exactly going to happen to us and we cannot make it a point to always be successful, there is one thing that remains in our control always and that is the way we choose to react to things. What we choose to do in any given situation and how we choose to react to any situation is absolutely up to our discretion. Have you have hit  rock bottom in life and cannot seem to find a way to get out of it? If you are someone whose entire life has collapsed and you do not know what exactly to make out of this situation in life, here is little something about hitting the rock bottom that you need to know. Here are the things that you really need to do in order to make it a point that you get through the phase and come out of it even stronger.



What To Do When You Feel You Have Hit Rock Bottom?


#1. Take A Good Look At What Really Is Taking Place In Your Life

When you hit your rock bottom, all aspects of your life is falling down and it just seems like a huge amount of uncertainty and lack of direction is coming out of all these complications created by the turmoil your life is facing. In such a situation, the best thing you can do is to take a step back and slow down. Stop doing and trying to make things happen and stop making an effort to control things.

All that you need to do is to evaluate all that is taking place in your life and try to connect the dots. You need to clearly understand all that is taking place and accept that all of the things that have taken place are not reversible, there is nothing that can be done to undo them. What you can do for the best is to make sure that you take a proper look at all that is taking place in your life in the now. You may not be able to make sense of all the things that are happening, but it will definitely help you to make peace with all of the things that you have experienced.

Please understand the fact that this will help you to get ready to deal with the future. Taking a proper look at the current situation may not reduce the sorrow, or may not make it possible for you to repair your life all at once, but it will surely make it possible for you to make peace with all that is in the now and to take it ahead from here.


#2. Look At The Positive Side Of The Situation

We all are so used to looking at face value of all the things that take place in our life, we often tend to forget to look at the deeper good that it brings along with it. What I am trying to tell you is the fact that you will need to make sure that you look at the things falling apart and be able to see that it is making way for all those new things in your life that you do not know about. Rather than looking at it as the end of all the good that is taking place in your life, look at it as the beginning of all the better things as all the old exits your life.

You need to keep in mind the fact that when anything goes away from your life, there is a void that is created. The universe does not let voids exist; this means there is something that will take the place of the thing that has gone away. There is going to be something that is going to fill that void. We all have a set of mental blocks that compel us to keep doing things. That is the reason many of us are never able to break free and do all those things that we know are our true calling.

The best way to look at hitting the rock bottom where your life has completely collapsed is to consider it as the opportunity to start afresh and to all of those things that you really wish to create for yourself. When things fall apart, you cannot stop that but all the experience that you have gained by living the life before, are the things that are going to be a part of you for the rest of the journey. Take those experiences and make the best of the fresh start you are getting to make. Please keep in mind, when your old life falls apart, it is an opportunity to create something better for yourself. All you need to do is to hold on to the hope and keep going.



#3. Do Things Even If You Do Not Feel Like Doing Them

The only thing that we do wrong when things do not seem to work out according to our will and wish is the fact that we give up on things and stop doing anything at all. It is going to be hard to keep going on and doing things that will be essential for us to get out of the negative situation in life. But, we will need to compel our self to take at least one small step at a time.

What will make it possible for you to turn your worst phase into the preparation for the upcoming best phase of your life is the ability to take small actions that will make it possible for your move your life back on track. There are always small things that we can keep doing, like exercising, eating healthy, getting proper sleep and more.

When we are in a phase where we are facing difficulties, we often give up and do not make an effort to do these essential things. That is exactly what you will feel like and your mind will find all the possible excuses to make it impossible for you find motivation. But, you need to keep going and keep doing all those things that will help you to be in control of some aspects of your life.

What I have learned from my journey is that fact that when we hit rock bottom, it generally happens at a point of time when we are not really very happy with the kind of life we are leading. The only reason we continue to live a life that we do not our self like to live is because we are comfortable doing so. We are so used to all those things that the idea of making an effort to do something entirely different makes us uncomfortable. When we continue to live something that is not our truth it is essential we do something to make sure that we start living the life of our dreams.
The fact that your life has fallen apart is the opportunity given to you by the universe to make sure that you recreate your life the way you wish for it to be. The best thing I was told to do at this point of time was to make sure I see the situation in a positive way and then I will be able to see those things that we cannot when we are thinking conventionally. We can see the kind of bad things that have gone away from our life. We will be able to see how we were not living the best version of our life. This was definitely the best advice anyone ever gave me regarding hitting the rock bottom.
It really was the opportunity to start afresh and create a life of my dreams. What I did not realize before I was given this advice was the fact that I was so very focused on all those things that were collapsing that I could not see why it was essential for it to go away from my life and make space for all that is going be much more beautiful than I ever thought.
What this life event taught me was that fact that it is all about the kind of mindset that any person has and the way they choose to see a situation in life. This is all that makes the difference in life, because when you choose to be positive you are making sure that you are going to be able to make a start for the next chapter of your life. If you choose to be negative it will mean that you are going to be able to focus on all the negative things only. It will be hard for you to make sure you are making the effort to take your life ahead from here it fell apart.
It really is all about making an effort to look at things in such a way that you can see the hope in the situation and not the things that have not worked out. It really is about making an effort to take the best from all the things going on in life and then do all that you can to take it to another level.
