How to get through something hard and overwhelming. Sometimes, we get on over our heads. Most people crumble in these situations. I have some tips to get through these times, though! 1. Move your attention from what's wrong to what's going right. It doesn't matter how small that thing is, either. Just moving your attention off the negative aspects is enough in most instances. 2. Control the controllables. Put your time and attention on the things you can influence and not on the things you can't influence. Hope this helps! #veterans #military #weightloss #eatright #mentalhealth #mindsetcoach

And my top 2 tips are going through something tough that you think you're in over your head on and you may not be able to finish. First is to stop focusing on the things that are going wrong that are negative and start putting your attention towards how to overcome them or the things that are going right. And the second one is actually just control the controllables. So what does this look like? Well, for me? I started out with my ankle. I tweaked it Saturday, so my ankle is a little bit bothersome on Sunday right at the beginning. And I also had a, my rib was acting up a little bit. So those two things were complicated early on and I was initially focused on those and I knew if I were to get through, I had to take my attention off of that and then start getting back to my game plan of what was going right. So then I took that and said, OK, let me stop focusing on these that are negative and start paying attention to things are going right. What's going right is that. I'm here, the weather's nice, all those things. I started paying attention to things that were positive. The scenery is beautiful, all that stuff. Alright, control the controllables. Well, what can I control? I couldn't control right now. My ankle was good or not, but I could control rather not. My stride was too long and expose my ankle to those positions that might be bad. I could control my breathing patterns and expanding my lungs or my ribs more during my breath to loosen up my rib more, which was the problem, so I could control. Those things so I put my attention and time into controlling those so I can get through my race. So hope that helps.

Where you put your focus, your world grows. Interesting, right? When you focus on the lack, on the loss, on the bad things that are happening, that's where your mind will continue to take you. How do you change this? Put your focus on the growth, change for good, and the abundance you have, even if it's small. When we put our focus on those things, our mind will find a way to create more. A win-win! #veterans #military #weightloss #eatright #mentalhealth #mindsetcoach

Putting in a little extra effort goes a long way! What do you do when the clock is getting low? Do you try and wait it out to get it over faster? Or do you go faster to get a little more in? It's these little moments where character is revealed. When nobody is looking, are you putting in the work or hoping someone else will pick up the slack? To be clear, I don't always think more is better. Extra effort doesn't always mean more time. It could be efficiency, new methods, new ideas, etc. So what about you? When nobody is looking, are you putting in the work to get better? #veterans #military #weightloss #eatright #mentalhealth #mindsetcoach

Buddy Check! It will never get old to me. I remember rolling my eyes each time I heard my Drill Sergeant tell me to check on my Battle Buddy in basic training. More than 20 years later and having several Battle Buddies lose the battle within, the phrase means much more to me. Epsilon-Vet Coffee was started by two US Army Veterans who wanted to do more to support fellow Veterans' battle against suicide. ☕ 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQ6x73Yr 👈 ☕ Not Starbucks | #Marketing | #Coffee | #Veterans | #Military | #Suicide | #MentalHealth | #Transition | #MilitaryTransition

Real estate can be hard. There's a LOT to learn, do and then do some more. When you serve others more than yourself though, it's a blast. #firefighters #lawenforcement #military #veterans #healthcareworkers #teachers #vfw12206 #exitrealty

Transitioning from military to civilian life can be a daunting experience for many. What works for one person may not work for another, but the lessons learned from what hasn't worked can be valuable tools for someone else. Maximizing the tools in your toolbox is crucial though. It's important to remember that no two transitions are the same. If you have questions, need a different perspective, or just need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's have a conversation and support each other through this journey. #MilitaryTransition #Veterans #CivilianLife #transitioningmilitary #dodskillbridge

Screwdrivers can't change tires. To do a job we need the right tools. Too often when we leave service, we’re left to ourselves to find the right tools to be successful post service. Home Base and CEO BG(R) Jack Hammond are changing that. Episode 137: https://lnkd.in/gV9zirav #veterans #military #mentalhealth #recovery

"One of my favorite military sayings is, 'No plan survives first contact with the enemy." - Kevin Cooper Co-host of The Job-Ology Brothers and combat veteran. Have you've ever chewed on the benefits of #hiringveterans? Yes, this clip is 3 minutes and 18 seconds long. In today's fast-paced world, that might seem like an eternity. Yet, take a moment... pause what you're doing, and listen as Kevin delves into why we shouldn't confine veterans to a narrow view based on their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) or #jobdescription. Let's broaden our perspective and recognize the diverse range of #skills and experience #veterans bring to the table. #leadership #loyalty #problemsolving #relationshipbuilding #refineyoursearch
