I have had my share of setbacks in my career and personal life.

Here are my top tips to bounce back when life knocks you down 👇🏽

- Remember, the problem is not the problem.

It’s your reaction to the problem.

- Detox social media content.

Don’t doom scroll.

Block/unfollow those who trigger you.

You come first.

- Connect with those who inspire you and keep you positive.

Purge your network.

- Move.

Even if it’s just a short walk around the block.

It will clear your mind and do magic to your mental and physical status.

- Remember that if you fail, you are in the arena.

You are doing the work and taking some blows.

You are NOT watching from the sidelines.

- Get a dog 🐕.

She will keep you fit and make you appreciate the small pleasures in life.

- Be kind to yourself.

Remember you need to put your oxygen mask first before you help others.

Hope this was helpful.
