For those who are usually exuberant and positive
and joyful, when the funk hits, its like the
moment a kite falls to the ground. One minute
youre soaring high above the clouds and the next
you plummet downward, get tangled up in the
feelings and sink in a swamp of melancholy.

Most of us fight the funk in the wrong way by
beating ourselves up over it. We allow
negativity to grab hold and pull us in a downward
spiral.

Realize that EVERYONE falls into the funk. Yes,
everyone. Even those who have the most

success, who have great health. REM sings it
best . . . Everybody hurts . . . sometimes.

Realize that its the Law of Opposites at work in
your life to help you understand this wonderful
journey completely. Without feeling hurt, you
cannot understand love. Without knowing lack,
you wont grasp plenty. Without the funk, you
cant understand happiness.

Once you understand this, rather than berating
yourself and feeling like youve failed at living
in a state of happiness and contentment . . .
once you accept the funk, you begin to release
the hold it has on you.

You start by counting your blessings. Yes, its
the same old message that has been proclaimed
from early on . . . count your blessings, name
them one by one. Speak them, write them, share
them.

Its called flipping the switch. When the funk
hits you and the negative thoughts and feelings
flood your mind... flip the switch and find a
positive thought to replace it.

This isnt always the easiest thing to do when
you are in the funkit might take days or weeks
to see any results... but one little positive
thought builds on the next little one and in
time, they will compound and turn into a mighty
force that will swoop the funk right out the door.

In our culture that thrives on instant access to
everything, we seek an instant fix to our funk .
. . which is why alcohol, prescriptions and drugs
are so prevalent. These things take the edge
off the funk, but it doesnt ever leave, it just
gains momentum until more alcohol, more
prescriptions, more drugs are needed.
