When you’re going through a rough patch in your life, it’s hard to work up the motivation to do just about anything. Routines become harder to maintain, and activities you enjoyed in the past may fall by the wayside. You’ll almost certainly become more introspective, taking inventory of your life and its contents. It’s absolutely critical during hard times that you keep things in perspective and maintain a healthy sense of self worth so you don’t hastily make drastic changes in your life. Whether you’re having problems in your personal relationships, at the job, or with your general life goals, you need to remind yourself that these feelings are normal.
