I am Failing at Life, How Can You Help?

Life is hard and we all fail from time to time. The key is to learn from those failures and move forward. If you are struggling in your life, please don't be ashamed or afraid to ask for help. You can do this!

Ask for help.

When you're failing at life, it can feel like your life is over and that you'll never be able to recover. If this is the case for you, then consider seeking help from others. Ask for help from people who are close to you, but also ask for help from those who aren't very close to you. Don't be afraid of seeking out friendships with strangers or acquaintances who might just be able to offer some insight into how they overcame similar obstacles as yourself.

Remember: failure is only temporary! So don't let failure keep you down—instead use it as an opportunity to learn something new about yourself or simply take stock of what needs improvement in your life so that next time around (and there will be a next time!) things can run more smoothly.

Have a plan.

I’m not going to lie, this is the hardest part of being an adult.

The good news is that planning really is your friend. If you don’t plan, your life will turn into one big unorganized mess full of missed deadlines and ransacked closets. So start today by making a list of all the things you have to do in any given day, week or month. This can be something as simple as having a running list of important appointments on your phone so that when they pop up onscreen, you remember them instantly – no more Deja vu! Just put everything into a calendar app or whatever works best for you (I personally love Google Calendar).

Stay positive.

I can't stress enough the importance of staying positive, even when it feels like you are failing. You might be failing at life, but that doesn't mean you have to be a failure. When things get tough and you feel like giving up, just remember that there's always someone worse off than you—and if that's not true, then maybe there's something wrong with their perceptions of "better" or "worse."

It is easy to get discouraged when looking around at what the world has to offer: celebrities' lavish lifestyles; political corruption on display for all to see; high-paid athletes living in luxury while poverty continues unabated in most areas of the globe...the list goes on and on! But as long as we keep ourselves grounded in reality (and don't let our minds wander too far into fantasy land), then we can remain happy people who enjoy being alive today—even if tomorrow may bring a whole new set of challenges along with it.

Learn to forgive yourself.

Forgive yourself for failing.

Forgive yourself for being human.

Forgive yourself for not being perfect.

Forgive yourself for making mistakes, and then forgive yourself again when you make another mistake, because we all make mistakes sometimes, yet it’s how we handle those moments that defines us more than anything else in our lives.

Learn to laugh at your own mistakes and flaws, because if you can do that then you will be able to learn from your errors and become a better person as a result of them.

Stop procrastinating.

Procrastination is a habit. You can change it. If you think about it, your brain doesn't know when it's going to be useful to you and when it won't, so the best thing to do is just get started on something whenever you have a spare moment (even if it's only five minutes) and then build up from there. If there's something that takes more than an hour or two of work that keeps getting pushed back in favor of other tasks, try breaking down the task into smaller chunks and reward yourself as soon as each chunk is completed. This way you'll feel like you're making progress on whatever project/task at hand without having wasted too much time on any one part of the process!

Become more organized.

• Organize your desk. This is a great place to start, because everything else will follow. If you have a messy desk, it's only going to get worse as time goes on. Try creating sections for the different categories of things that you have: personal stuff, bills and financial documents, work-related items (if you need them separated from personal), and so on. You can also create subcategories within each section if necessary.
• Organize your closet. Although this seems like an obvious one—and it is—there are some people who just don't do it! Do yourself a favor by getting rid of items that don't fit or aren't flattering anymore; donate clothes and accessories that are still in good condition but no longer used much; sell those high heels with three inch stilettos if they're not comfortable enough for everyday wear anymore...the list goes on!

• Organize your schedule/schedule tasks accordingly using Google Calendar or another online calendar app like Microsoft Outlook Calendar or Apple iCloud Calendar (this one works seamlessly with iPhone). It doesn't matter if there's just one thing left on your plate today as long as everything else has been taken care of already—that way when tomorrow rolls around there won't be any surprises waiting for us at work! This can help us feel more relaxed about where we stand professionally too since we won't have any looming deadlines hanging over our heads at all times either."

Stop taking on too much responsibility.

When you start taking on more and more responsibilities, it can be very hard to stop. But the more responsibilities you take on, the less time you have to do them well and the more stressed out you become.

• Learn how to say no. This is a hard one for me, but I'm learning how important this skill is in my own life and others' lives as well. You don't need to agree with everything every single person asks of you—and they shouldn't expect that either! The world would be a much better place if we all took better care of ourselves by saying no when necessary, rather than always trying our best at all times (which might not even be possible).
• Learn how delegate tasks instead of doing them yourself—this will make your life easier because someone else will do them instead of wasting valuable time on those tasks yourself! Delegating also gives other people opportunities for growth; if they're doing things themselves then their skills won't improve as much as they could otherwise improve if given an opportunity through delegation."

Find a stress reliever (other than drinking too much).

When you're stressed out, it's easy to fall into a pattern of drinking or eating too much. But these can lead to other health problems. Instead, try finding other ways to relieve tension and stress:

• Go for a walk in nature. Getting fresh air is always helpful when you're feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges.
• Play with your pet or take them for a walk around the block. They will be grateful for the attention and affection, which will help both of you feel better! If you don't have any pets yet, consider adopting one from your local shelter; this is also great if there's someone else who could use an animal companion too (like an elderly relative who lives alone).

• Do yoga! This ancient practice has been proven again and again as one way people can reduce anxiety levels naturally through deep breathing exercises that will ultimately lead into meditation sessions where all thoughts disappear except those necessary ones needed for survival purposes only (such as "I'm hungry"). Such techniques are especially useful after long days at work where tension builds up due lack time spent outdoors doing physical activity like running laps around park benches instead sitting inside cubicles typing away while waiting patiently until lunchtime arrives so they can leave without getting fired first rather than quitting job voluntarily due mental distress caused by working conditions not being conducive towards productivity level required by management staffs decision makers."

It's not wrong to ask for help and be vulnerable sometimes.

It’s okay to be wrong, imperfect, or vulnerable. It’s not a sign of weakness or failure; it's actually a sign of growth and strength when you can appreciate that you don't know everything.

It's important to reach out when you feel like things are falling apart in your life – no matter what age you are or where in the world you live: In America, Britain, Australia... even if it might seem embarrassing at first!

Conclusion

Remember that it's okay to ask for help and be vulnerable sometimes. We all need someone to talk to, but it's important not to let our problems get out of control. Having a support system is an important part of living a happy life, and there are many ways you can build one up for yourself so that if things go wrong again someday you won't feel like they're all alone in their struggle. Plus as we said before, this applies whether or not your problem is related directly with alcohol abuse or not! So don't be afraid: reach out today!
