What to Do When You Hit the Rock Bottom in Life

People grow the most when they face challenges in life. They try harder to overcome the challenges which results in success and happiness. But very few things challenge you as much as hitting the ‘rock bottom’ in life. And this is the phase that fills your life with great prospects.

Well, at some point, life will throw at you some tough circumstances that will leave you in a gloomy situation for some time. You will wonder how you will pull yourself out and when things will get normal. Such a ‘rock bottom’ state usually comes with an intense bout of anxiety and depression. Even small tasks will take so much effort and every moment of life will seem like a nightmare.

But there is a positive aspect of such a situation as well. You can learn great life lessons while dealing with such a situation and no one can teach you such lessons.

What to do in Life?

What you do when you face the rock bottom is crucial to your life. You don’t have to remain in the situation forever. You may react to it as you want. You can concentrate on what you can change or what you can’t change. What is still on your side and how you can still get on with a normal life. The most awful thing you can do, however, is willing to be in such a situation forever. So always work for coming back to normalcy. A few things may help you each time you hit the rock bottom.

1. Use the Agony

Your agony will motivate you to act because the situation makes you uncomfortable. So, take action to root that pain out. The agony and pain may be the motivation that you have always needed to bring the necessary changes in your life. Your agony would fuel your courage and grit. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, control the negativity that’s keeping you low and turn it into motivation. This motivation will thrust you upwards helping you to see the beautiful ray of hope.

2. Communicate

Always keep your channels of communication open- that is under your control because you don’t have to face the grim situation alone. Reach out to people who care for you. If you can find even one person who really cares for you and give some advice to you, it will bring favorable results. The ones who love you will lend you a helping hand for sure because they would love to see you bounce back once again.

However, if you find no one at your side, believe in your prayers and God and become your own best friend. And when you are your own best friend, no one can fail you.

3. Unlearn and Relearn

Have some courage and dare to leave behind the past, everything about it- including your past knowledge. Believe that you still have a lot to learn in life despite hitting the rock bottom. So, be a good student and take lessons from your situation.

Pick up lessons from what did not go well and understand who you really are as an individual. Learn about what you want to achieve in life and learn from the behavior of the people around you. Learn from the time, situation and everything that is happening at that time. The more you observe, the more you will unlearn and relearn. And this profound learning will take you to a destination of your own choice.

Therefore, let the hardship offer you a new vision towards your life. Just realize that you have nothing to lose because you have started taking action to change your situation. Remember, the best thing about hitting the rock bottom state is that the only way to go now is- upward. You cannot alter past mistakes, you cannot predict what’s going to happen tomorrow and so make the most out of this moment and bounce back.
