Rock-Bottom

So where is rock-bottom and what do we do?

So I think about it, and rock bottom can be anywhere: the surface of the earth, bed of the deepest ocean, the earth's inner core, inside your heart or inside your mind.

I cannot assume that we have all hit rock bottom at some point in our lives, however, for those who have; what do you do?

1. If you believe in God like I do, then you strengthen your relationship with Him. Have a deep conversation and be humble enough to ask for help.
2. Keep on breathing. How do you do this? Maintain a healthy/active lifestyle(eat healthy, exercise, rest).
3. Reach out. Often than not, around us there are "human angels" standing by ready and willing to hold our hands, not to pull us up, but just to give you an assurance that they are standing there. For those who work out, you understand that a spotter standing there can boost you psychological to lift an extra pound or an extra repetition.
4. Pause. Yes, hit that pause button and take an evening walk, a jog in the park, a cruise, sit in a park, watch the moon rise or sunset. This not only helps relax your mind, but drives you off the busy revolving earth to a different "planet", where only you and your mind exist.
5. Focus. So where do you want to go. How do you get there. Break it into small tasks and set key milestones. How will you measure when you hit your milestone. Now it is time to raise your gaze, look around, take the route that best leads you to your destination.

There are a million reasons why you could have hit rock bottom, but there are tens of millions of reasons why you need to rise and one of them is because you are still alive.
