Getting Up After a Fall – Step 1: Recognize
A skinned knee, a bruised ego, a fracture, a loss – falling down has consequences.
Did you trip? Were you pushed?
Take a moment to assess. Recognize that you are down. Are you, in fact, down …again? Is this a pattern or a first-time occurrence?
Pay attention. Take notes. Accept what has happened as part of the past. Record your experience for future reference. Looking back will be sweet.
The first step is awareness. Use a journal. Record the facts. Make a list of the highlights or write the full story. Your choice.

Getting Up After a Fall – Step 2: Embrace
Injured and beaten, disappointment and embarrassment compromise your perspective.
Pain overwhelms you.
Embrace the experience.
Resist the urge to jump up and shake it off before examining the details. Ask for a full report from all of your senses.
Take the dirt that's in your mouth for instance. What does it taste like?
What do you see from the bottom?
What would you say defeat smells like?
How hard was the wall you slammed into?
Exactly how intense is your pain?
The answers to these questions are the finer details of your experience. Put the details in a journal. Unafraid to get personal with yourself, embrace your fall the way you would embrace a wounded child. Don’t skip this step. Just Get It Done Now!

Getting Up After a Fall – Step 4: Gratitude
Express gratitude for all the good and all the bad that is in your life.
Gratitude dispels negative energy. Really, what did being angry ever do for you? Alright it helped you blow off steam, but it’s a short-term response. Gratitude is the long-term solution.
Express gratitude to avoid holding a grudge and giving you one more thing to undo and get passed.
Take everything as a blessing.
Feel better.
Feel great.
Rise up on the cloud of gratitude. Just Get it Done Now!
