In this episode of The Charged Life, high performance coach and #1 New York Times bestselling self-help author Brendon Burchard shares ideas for how to deal with difficult times in our lives.
This is Brendon speaking freestyle, recorded in one take without prompter or notes.
--------------------
SUMMARY:
--------------------
1. Set Small, Simple Daily Goals. When times are difficult, it’s easy to feel we’ve lost all personal power. So, a simple way to insert agency and progress in our lives is to set three small goals every day and work to achieve them. These can be as simple as taking a shower, going for a walk, or calling a friend. It’s not about taking over the world, it’s about directing just a tiny bit of our day until we can find our footing again.
2. Keep Perspective. Draw some strength from the truth that there have been positive, good, happy times in life and that those moments and memories can return and are with you. And remember that part of keeping perspective is realizing you are not on an island alone - there are people out there who can help you through this. Finally, remember, you are the miracle - the fact that you can choose your attention and breath and choices each day is a profound blessing. Not all is lost or negative - there is always hope and you can make new choices.
3. Ask, “What should I be learning here?” When times are tough, we often feel that we can’t understand or handle things, that we lack competence or capability. So, to shore up those feelings, be strategic and ask, “What could I learn now to better handle this stage of my life?” Develop a learning curriculum for yourself and start studying things that can help or advance your life.
4. Be Your Best Self Despite the Difficulties. When I had a brain injury, I couldn’t control my emotions and actions for a while. I felt out of control. All I could do is set the intention to be my best. I forced myself to ask, “How would my best self interact with this situation? How would I view this, go through this, support others, and grow despite it all?” Sometimes, a simple and positive intention can expand our consciousness and connection with life (and ourselves).
5. Keep Gratitude Alive. This is the time to get grateful for the choices and blessings you do have, for the people you have supporting you, for who you are and who you can become. The surest route from suffering begins at the path of gratitude.

@ronniemead805 8 лет назад

Me too. For the past couple of months all I could focus on was going home to be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, nothing seemed to matter to me. However, I had a conversation with a young lady yesterday and she turned me onto positive thinking and in 24 hours I feel as if I have been given a new lease on life. Suddenly, I feel positive and optimistic as if life could actually have some meaning. Hang in there Raina, life is a precious gift, so we have to keep searching for meaning and purpose. Blessings!

+Malaz Aliomer +Malaz Aliomer I'm so sorry for you , I know it's difficult but bear in mind that no one would be eternal.. that's life and its mistery, we should deal with it ,, however, Mom's love is eternal ! you have to be proud of her because everyday she needs to know that and to know that you're happy for that .. it is just that simple reason which will push you to overcome and getting better thoughts to carry on your way ..... you've proved strenght and courage as you've written this comment !! What I have to tell you is that; don't worry, it's quite simple Mom is always in the heart !!!

Story time: At 17 I was homeless and on the verge of killing myself, and I am not joking...read that again because it was very serious. I had nothing to hope for and that's how I stumbled across Brendon. These videos and his book the Charge was the first step for me to get through that time. I went on to graduate college, debt free, top of my class, top in my college in fact. I went on to become financially stable and chose to focus on changing my family tree. To become that guy in the family that could be relied on. I am now a man of value and morals and I couldn't be more proud of myself. 5 years ago I was about to end it all, trust me I was there. Please keep perspective and know that if you have a small flame of inspiration, that can grow into a fire of motivation that will help others. Much love to whoever sees this! ❤

Sometimes I really hate my life and no body really understand me I have a 7 year old brother who gets me in trouble everyday and I really want to do something but if I even leave my room and say hi to my family they yell at me I find my self crying a lot and turning to my grandmother and I said today I hate my life and she said you have to stop because you will die in hell for being SO negative and my Negativity Anxiety Struggle ADHD and I'm in my room all the time I conceal myself in a ball and in my bed because I feel like a bag of garbage because I can't do ANYTHING right (I feel like I'm repeating myself) this video really helped

@rebabby4 9 лет назад

Brendon Burchard, I lost my Mother 5 years ago today, and since then, my life seems to have spiraled out of of Control. My ex tried to kill me in front of my daughter just days after my mother passing. Nine months later, my Nana passed away. After about 6 months, I decided my children needed their father, then, the anger he showed became worse, scary. So this all happened while I lived In Ireland, my mother's birthplace, home of my entire family, right down to my brothers (mother and grandparents buried there) - I left Ireland to come home to the US, with the okay of the American Embassy with my two children, and my youngest was taken back to Ireland 4 months later - because Ireland is her "habitual" residence. After 3 returns back to Ireland within a year. to fight for my daughter to be able to be with me, I lost. He now has full custody. This all started 4 years ago. I found God, Hope, Spirituality and a passion that is going to be my career. (I hope) because I took the state exam last Wednesday and failed, by ONE point. Yes one. Friday morning, my partner of just over two years,.whom I live with - with my 13 year old,.has just said we need to "part ways". I need.to move out.... but - just before Christmas my car broke down. No vehicle now. It's gone. I am cleaning part-time to make some money, it's just not enough to save for a car, buy necessities, and pay bills such as phone and storage and etc. I am feeling so very hopeless all the time, and wondering, .when is it going to stop?..when is life going to stop kicking me while I'm down? Your videos and messages are so inspiring, but it seems like when I do those things you talk about.....I get kicked harder. Where's my line?

@desertfox8583 8 лет назад

What to do when one's at the edge of breaking? What to do when one has been not in one but multiples storms, not for months, but for years? What to do when one has been betrayed by the closest ones even family, friends, relationships? What to do when one has always been kind to others and received so much wrong in return? What to do? I don't know if Brendon read these comments but it would be good if he could talk about these times when one is literally at the edge, when health itself becomes compromised because of so much pressure and nasty shit done to one, when pain becomes a reality in one's life. It would be good if Brendon could talk about this, about been lonely, without no one to turn to, despite one has always helped others.

@innhuynh9037 9 лет назад

My study suddenly turned out so badly due to my unawareness of it long time ago. I started fixing it for months, and thought that it would be okey. But it doesnt, now i have to pay back for what i did. Feel so depressed ... I'm kinda of interworld person, i rarely open myself to anyone or trust people. Year by year, i made myself become a good person, always cheer my friends up and get their back. But when something goes wrong in life, it's hard for me to handle it. I'm kinda close myself and try to solve my own problem. Sometimes it works but sometimes not. Since i saw this channel, all the things Brendon says just like what i told my friends all the time. But now i am a lisener. I actually did cry sometimes while listening to these videos. And now it's become a habit, everytime i get any negative things happy, while still seeking for some possitive things to read or listen. My mind just says that:"Brendon, Bredon ! You gotta listen to his talks" Thank you for always trying to help us stay positive in life! And now i feel much better, start to accept the truth and see it in a better way.. There is one thing, i want to say to all of you "Dont rush anything, when the time is right, it will happen all you can do is accepting the truth and move on to make a better life. Dont give up on your dream!! Believe that and then you will change it forever."

I have been taking up personal development, reaching at least 1 goal a day. What if all I am unable to physically do the thing that bring me joy aside from the binge eating? What if, I don't have any social support because no one understands how it feels to be trapped in a cage with society treating me like I'm subhuman and showing no sympathy for my current situation. What if I tried to reach out and no one lends a hand?

During moments of difficulties all you can do is to pray

@godisgracious3505 6 лет назад

amhar ramaan I never put my full faith in prayer until I felt like all else failed so I decided to pray and it helped me, it gave me strength

@Kingseye7 5 лет назад

Well that won’t do much, praying is just hoping or wishing for stuff to get better don’t wish for something to get better MAKE IT BETTER

THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING VIDEO! Yesterday I was feeling so negative, sad and lost... I haven’t done much in days as I am struggling with life big time... I was crying for no reason (I guess it was desperation) by finding this video on you tube, I have to say my mood changed after as I connected with Brendon’s words. Today I am feeling better! However I would like to ask some questions? How can you make changes when struggling with finances? How to connect with the right people who have a go getter mind set when the mood is the lowest? My tendency right now has been avoidance, I don’t really tell people what’s going on (I am ashamed, because I used to have a good life. After the cancer I have been struggling with my present life, recently I became “sofa homeless” When people are depressed no one wants to be by your side, and unfortunately this my cause more pain, loneliness and separation. Where to find the light? I know that this is just temporary, and after this video I will apply the right vocabulary to influence my actions! Thank you for this great video!

Im in my 50's now and had been through a lot of difficult times in my past life ...one thing i have learned in life is that no matter how many times you fall you must learn how to bounce back...it is not easy but if you do not want to stay "down" you have no other choice but to get up...it is about making choices...i had been depressed for half a decade and no one was there for me except myself but inch by inch i fought depression, it took me years to overcome it and im fine now...though i still have problems but hey that what life is all about, without problems life will become boring and not challenging.

I want to keep myself away from the depression but some particular people around me letting me going into it. I feel like I am wrong every time even if I am have not done anything to them. I am just in the middle of them, anyone can throw their blame flame onto me. Not sure what to do.

@samantarizzi248 8 лет назад

you're not alone, I feel like this too sometimes, also I was suffering from severe anxiety, which is much better now, but still - sometimes this life can be so overwhelming... it sucks to be so negative all the time, something has to change! that's why I'm so glad that I've found this guy (Brandon) on RU-vid

@Willferal 7 лет назад

literally curled up in a ball right now. Things have been really hard dealing with an anxiety disorder, depression, and eating disorders..I have an awful habit of feeling sorry for myself and this video is just honestly what I needed to watch. I'm so grateful for my family being there for me, my health, being alive right now. Most of all, I'm grateful for being able to choose to be strong and positive :) Thanks so so much!!

Whatever it is you are going through, whatever difficulty you are facing right now, know this, what you are going through, you are going through. It is only a season in life that will eventually pass. Keep moving forward one foot in front of the other with your eyes forward and your head held high, you are going to make it! I just made a video on the same topic. Be blessed

Brendon, I have a friend that is horribly depressed. She's away at residence and she can't make friends. This is a difficult time in a life. But a lot of what you mentioned here, is connect with friends/family. She has me, but it doesn't seem to be enough for a multiple reasons (Distance being a major component). Do you have any tips for her to make friends? I've tried all my advice: Conscious listening, presence, smile, being grateful for everything else. It doesn't seem to work, or maybe she isn't implementing it. Could you make a video for her? I would absolutely appreciate it.

@CateSaxtonLIVE 9 лет назад

Not to butt in but I read your post and feel the pain BOTH of you are going thru. Brendon refers to depression but sounds like you're talking rather severe Major Clinical Depression...and if so then your friend's in the right place for her right now. Sometimes...we need to protect ourselves and distance from that sickness so we don't get too sucked into that illness...and then it's time to practice "Letting Go with Love"...I'm sure you know a lot of this...but sometimes when we're directly related and emotionally invested it's difficult to see. Send her positive energy...encourage her to take on the advice of the Professionals where she is...and YOU take care of YOU today! You know how to do that...I hope something resonates with you my friend...and I will be sending you positive vibes and energy for your strength within your process here...Namaste...

@2HelpfulGuys 9 лет назад

mscate16 First of all, thank you for reply. I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond! I don't know if it's severe clinical depression, but she's definitely just overall upset with the fact of not having any friends. But you are a hundred percent right. I am directly emotionally invested in her, which makes it hard to let her go. I feel like I can't let her go because if she doesn't have me, then she has no one (which she has expressed before). I truly believe in positive energy and vibes, but there's only so much that's doing in this particular situation. I need some sort of actionable steps to send her. I don't know. I don't want her to be lost or upset anymore. It sucks not being able to help someone you care about! Thank you for your reply and your vibes! I really appreciate it. :)

@CateSaxtonLIVE 9 лет назад

2HelpfulGuys I totally get it from BOTH sides! I was a counselor for over 13 years so I know how important it is for people to "allow" professionals to help...sometimes, if folks are focusing on their caretakers on the outside they don't allow those pros "In"...not that you're doing anything wrong...not AT ALL! But she may be sabotaging her own treatment thinking only about you, her one and only friend. That's the "letting go" I was referring to. You guys rock though I watched some of your stuff! There's a huge place for you here online! Peace guys...Namaste...

@2HelpfulGuys 9 лет назад

mscate16 She has cut me as of yesterday, without any particular reason. After trying to reach her, she decided to isolate herself. I am incredibly worried for her now. Because at least before she was talking to me, but now the uncertainty puts another huge roadblock. I can't function not knowing what's going on with her. Now the 'letting go' has become destructive for me and her. I lack the reassurance that she hasn't hurt herself permanently. The distance makes everything here incredibly hard. I've tried contacting her many times, with minimal response. She won't respond to any of my messages other than with a few short words. She won't take professional help either. I'm in complete disarray.

This video really helped me gain perspective. I'm 16 and recently had my first heartbreak..I think. There's a girl that I had been on and off with for 4 years and we have always had a connection that I don't get with other girls.The past 6 months she has been going out with a friend of mine and I had no problem with that as I wasn't interested in her at that time,but recently at a night out (which her boyfriend wasn't at) she started to talk to me saying how we could of been something if I had committed when I was younger.We then ended up spending the night together we didn't get with each other but we were very close.The next night out her boyfriend wasn't there again and the same thing happened and I told her that I did want to be with her which she seemed happy about.But now her boyfriend is back and we haven't talked in a week.I felt guilty the whole time which was hard to deal with because I felt like a hypocrite as well because im usually very against any type of cheating.I also no feel used by her as she seems to have no interest in my unless her boyfriend is not around. Its hard now seeing them together and I can't talk to my friend the same either. She won't even talk about it and pretends nothing ever happened. I have no idea to deal with this situation and I'm just filling up with frustration I don't know what to deal with.

@renehenriksen1735 8 лет назад

I think a way to happiness is by simply getting rid of all our "masks" and facades and be more honest. But in a world with envious and evil people that is definetely put to test. We are more bad at handling feelings and unwanted/unwelcomed emotions and thoughts than we think. People in general should be less egoistic and be nicer to each other. Life is unfortunately too short and elusive. Things around us change too fast and we get too little time to learn too many things properly. Nowhere is safe from a progress we don´t really know if we truly want. But do we truly want each other? And do we truly get the opportunity to live the life we want? Greed and complaint is two main factors that make us unhappy I think. Never is anything good enough. And this feeling of unsatisfaction makes us disappointed.

@hungsingkwoonusa650 5 лет назад

When I broke my back and was told I would NEVER walk again, my response to them was EFF YOU!!!!! You will never stop me from walking again. EVER! No matter how much they tried to force me to accept my fate, I dismissed their prognosis and declared I WILL WALK AGAIN! There was nothing harder in life than making myself walk again. Today, as I experience hard times, I reflect back on my tragic accident and realize, if i can make myself walk again, I can accomplish anything I set my mind towards. I just have to fight hard day by day and one day, I will be where I want to be.

@hoayeuly 8 лет назад

Brendon! May God blessed you I just bump into your video on my lazy day - And i was in a touch period of time in my life couple months ago. I am in a little bit better stage right now and i hope it will keep getting better. I have listened to one of your video and i swear i can not stop listening another one, and another one....and another one. And i end up listen to your video for whole this morning and i feel so lift up. I have listened to lot of life coach but none of them have an energy like you do, your attitude and down to earth like you. And your face is so faithful + hope + little happy = which makes i believe on what you are saying and believe in myself that i can able to do it and by having these believe - i just lift up and feel more energy and my brain start to generate positive thoughts for me. Thanks so much Brendon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
