Ups and Downs?<\/h2>\n

You’ve heard that a million times – that life has its ups and downs.\u00a0 But that’s not helpful.\u00a0 And people only tell you that when something bad is happening, right?\u00a0 No one ever reminds you that life has ups and downs when you’re in the middle of an up.<\/p>\n

You: “I just got that promotion!”<\/p>\n

Them: “Well, life is full of ups and downs, Phil.”<\/p>\n

It’s a cycle!<\/h2>\n

Saying life has ups and downs sounds like it is a series of random bad and good events.\u00a0 While there is a little of that, for the most part that’s not how it works.\u00a0 Instead, life is cyclical.\u00a0 Meaning, things in your life happen in cycles.\u00a0 And yes I know that means there are ups and downs, but it doesn’t mean a random bad<\/em> thing happened, it means you are on a downward<\/em> swing on an aspect of your life.\u00a0 Knowing that, you realize that there will be an upward swing.\u00a0 And, to make matters better, you can help minimize the downward swing.<\/p>\n

Having cycles is a healthy, essential part of your life.\u00a0 Life is made of them – these cycles.\u00a0 It’s a rhythm.<\/p>\n

Listen to find the takeaways, and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n
