Trudging through the Mud

I was playing tennis recently and had one of those rough days where I really wasn’t playing well and I started feeling very discouraged and frustrated. I felt like quitting right then and there and going home. But I had already committed to playing and had to keep going, even though I was playing terribly and felt like quitting. And no, I didn’t magically start playing better, or even feel better after I finished. But I had made it through, even though it sucked.

Life can feel like this sometimes, where we are stuck in a rut, or feel like we are barely hanging on. We may feel like we want to quit or we want to stop going through the motions when times are hard. Life can be very challenging and it may feel like we are barely trudging through the mud of life. You are not alone in this and  many people feel this way at different points in their life.  
​
The good news is that there is help. Having a counselor to listen unconditionally and provide support can help you trudge through when times are hard. It’s okay to ask for help, we all need it sometimes. Hang in there, you’re not alone.
