Sometimes you just aren't having the best week. At all. It feels like the mountain ahead of you in insurmountable. It's the Everest of your being, and you just know you'll die before you reach the summit. And it's exhausting.
When you feel like you're in that place, I implore you to find a friend and confidant (or a really fun person you trust) to employ for the moment. Ask them to help you find a new perspective on your day because you're just stuck in the biggest snow storm and can't seem to see 3 feet past your face. Let them remind you what makes you amazing and unique - the 30 second commercial that defines you, not your struggles. It's fun! I had one of my students offer up my 30 second commercial completely out of the blue, and it totally made my day. When I heard what the student said, I told him, "Can you just follow me around and narrate my day? When I need a PR person, I'm calling you!"
I challenge you to find your "guide through the storm" - someone to give you the quick run down of the greatness that sometimes gets overshadowed by the mountains you create. You may just find it makes you smile for a lot longer than a few moments, and that alone is a win.
