FUNK: Getting Out of One...........................................
How do you get out of funk when things are not going well?
Case and point.
Get notification to vacate home from Bank stating that the house has been sold in a short sale.
I have obviously concluded that the landlord and homeowner stopped paying the mortgage. Apparently the $1500 per month I pay him has not went to it's intended recipient.
Now, a few days prior to Xmas I am scrambling trying to find a place to live.
I realize my legal rights and all, it's just kind of a bummer to have this happen at the moment.
When you get blindsided by life and in funk, what do you do to get out of it?
Or, just cheer me up for Christ's sake. It's Christmas time.

dance your way out of your constrictions man..... seriously, turn on some music and dance until you pass out and give your mind and body some time to adjust and recuperate.
Will put on to do list.
(srs)
In the middle of the blindside most suggestions feel somewhat hollow, sapped as we are, but -having taken the time you need to rail and shout and have a short wallow- the only way forward is forward.
Make a plan and work it and use your dudgeon regarding fate (and the fuckers therein) as the fuel. Be sure the time will go by anyway and do That Other Guy (you in the near future) the favor of taking this chance to improve things. Not today, fair enough, but imagine yourself in 12 months time, approaching another Christmas, and in a new perhaps better spot. Make it be so. And remember that the most undermining thing is rarely the thing itself, but the uncertainty that surrounds it. Fight back and back yourself in the doing of it.
Oh, and also, fuck 'em, but don't waste any more of your energy on recriminations.
Good luck.
This most of all.
Anger and recrimination are pointless wastes of energy. Look forward, not back. Positive thinking makes a real difference. Know that you'll soon be in a better place and channel your energy towards making the best possibble future for you and yours.
The very best of luck.
keep going
What I try and do consciously is first accept that it is happening and don't resist the reality of it. Then I try and take it into myself personally. In the end it isn't "personal". I didn't used to do this and wound up generating much more anxiety. In a way, you could look for the things that could end up positive in the long run. Personally, I've never had a devastating event that somehow didn't lead to many good changes. I do think resistance to the situation (at least for me) is what causes all the mental anguish. Don't let you mind get ahold of it. It will torture you (again, speaking for myself)
All the best Rustik, I hope that the situation works out for you. Thanks for sharing and know that good thoughts are being sent your way.
I wholeheartedly appreciate each and every kind and thoughtful word. No idea how much.
If you want to live in Ho Chi Minh City i have a room for you in my noodle restaurant!
@RustiK
Brother, that truly sucks.
As you go forward, scan this thread and remember your comrades stand with you.
And remember your true self is way bigger in all dimensions (including time) than any of the shit that's currently afield.
And this from somebody just emerged from the grinder: put on your headphones and make your music. There's no medicine like it.
ROAD TRIP!
I'm down. If this is an open ended deal, pretty sure I've always wanted to live in Ho Chi Minh City and work in a noodle shop...
Hey @Rustik Hope your situation improves soon.
In the meantime, here is a 28sec video that never fails to make me smile.
I hope these lemons turn into lemonade for you.
@RustiK it's okay to feel bad when bad things happen to you and this seems to qualify. I've found trying to force myself to feel better tends to fail and can make me feel worse most of the time. It's also a good time to ask friends for support too. As your housing situation resolves, I think you'll start to feel better.
Sorry to here about troubles, of course. But please leave the Funk out of it!
Fight funk with funk.
Now I know why I don't use social media or any other sites except this one.
The people.
Here. Feel better.
Herbal rememdy, just puff or breathe. Sucks man. Im funked too but your sitch sounds super annoying. Peace.
Throw yourself into making the change. No matter what, you're not going to be living there, so find a place, start making arrangements, etc. Best thing will be be when it's all behind you. Might as well make it happen.
Simple but good.
Words seem so ineffective to the speaker, but joy is in the ears of the listener, they say:
If you find yourself going through hell, keep going!
... Mr. Churchill said. Which is very sound advice so long as you're not walking in circles. So don't walk in circles. Try figure 8s instead. It's more interesting and if you look at your path sideways, you'll see the possibilities are infinite. So look at things sideways from time to time. Helps ward off that sinking ship unhelpful feeling about the futility of it all.
I hope your fortune takes a mighty turn for the better soon.
Hey man, I'm in a somewhat similar situation myself and reading your post actually makes it easier to figure out my own solution since I'm on the outside looking into your situation. My two bits of advice are as follows:
1) Meditate in a quiet place for 5-20 min to clear your mind and other people's thoughts. (FYI David Lynch, The Beatles, Harvard professors and Tim Ferriss do this one http://www.relaxationresponse.org/steps/ )
2) Derek Sivers, the founder of CD Baby who sold it for $20 million and donated most of it to charity has a great philosophy where if something doesn't give you a "hell yeah! " feeling, then it's a no. So for the past day, I've been doing an audit of my lifestyle and specifying all the hell yeah activities, people, jobs, etc to filter out everything else to make room for more hell yeahs.
Good luck man
On the serious side, have faith.
Faith means you don't go by what is seen, but by what is unseen.
In other words, don't let circumstance be the thing that rules over you.
Man, I feel you. I'm someone who can get very angry in situations like these..., hope you find good solutions and keep breathing, looking at the most positive outcomes possible... . You have my deepest human solidarity.
