5 Steps to Move On From a Tough Spot

Over a year ago, I found myself the recipient of a sort of threatening letter from my landlord. I had to pay a past-due balance the following day. And my bank account was empty.
The experience taught me some incredible lessons about how to move on and up out of a tough moment.
To survive, here’s what I did.
1) Stop the Negative Thinking.
When I opened that letter, of course I started freaking out. Thoughts like: What if we ended up homeless? Where would we go? I’d have to get rid of all my things! And then I realized
2) Take Whatever Action Possible.
I knew of two things I could do: Call the finance lady at the management company to let her know I was working on getting the money, and reach out to my client (I only had the one at the time) to ask if he could pay me that night.
3) Get Vulnerable.
Texting my client to tell him I really needed him to make his payment as previously agreed because I needed the money to keep a roof over my head was the last thing I wanted to do. I was afraid I would appear weak. I didn’t want to make my problems his problems. But I sucked it up and sent the message. I got vulnerable when it scared me most to do so. I’ve heard it said that you have to get vulnerable right before a breakthrough. I agree.
4) Surrender.
Let the Universe work to meet you half-way. Give it time. I surrendered the outcome to the Universe; I had the firm belief I couldn’t actually end up homeless. Something would have to happen to ‘save’ me, even if it wasn’t the thing I thought would be it.
5) Gave My Body What It Needed.
I asked myself what I needed in the most physical sense, and got two answers: I needed to cry and I needed a nap. I needed to cry — my go-to method of releasing emotions — and I let myself do that. I listened to “Make Me Like You” by Gwen Stefani, an actually upbeat song that, for some reason, makes me cry.
My nap turned out to be just the thing I needed to give me a break from the obsessive worrying and give the Universe time to work its magic.
When I awoke, I had a text message from my client who said he could help. I made my rent payment and still live in the same place.
Happy ending.
