Unemployed for 3 consecutive months, failed interviews repeatedly; relationship ended, can only collapse alone late at night; even drinking water seems to go wrong, as if the whole world is against you... This message received in the background struck a chord with countless people who have experienced life's low periods. Data shows that 78% of adults will experience at least 1-2 life low periods lasting more than 6 months in their lifetime, and 62% of them will fall into a vicious cycle of "the more anxious, the worse it gets." In fact, low periods are never a "sentence" from fate, but a signal for fortune reset. Today, we'll break down from a professional perspective: how to turn your life around during low periods, using practical methods to get out of difficulties.
Many people think about "quick transformation" during low periods, but ignore the core: the essence of fortune is "energy flow," and the core problem during low periods is energy stagnation - either trapped in past negative emotions or bound by unknown fears, preventing positive energy from entering.
The wisdom of "after extreme adversity comes prosperity" in traditional Chinese culture confirms this. A 2023 study by Tsinghua University's Department of Psychology also found that people in low periods, as long as they break through 2 core obstacles (emotional internal consumption, behavioral stagnation), the probability of positive fortune transformation increases by 67%. This is also the foundation of our transformation: first stop internal consumption, then activate energy flow with specific actions.
Environment is the carrier of energy, and cluttered environments trap positive energy. This step is the foundation of all transformation methods, simple to operate but remarkably effective:
• Organize living/working space: Throw away 3 types of items - past negative mementos (such as failed project materials, tokens of broken relationships), unused items for over 1 year, damaged and incomplete items (such as shoes with broken soles, cracked tableware), these items continuously emit negative energy;
• Cut off negative information sources: Uninstall apps that push anxiety content, temporarily block people who always transmit negative energy (such as frequent complainers, people who negate you), reduce ineffective phone scrolling time by more than 30 minutes per day.
Case: A client once locked himself in a room full of clutter after unemployment, repeatedly failing interviews. After organizing the room using this method, he said "my heart suddenly brightened," and received an offer from his dream company within a week.
People themselves are the largest "fortune carriers." With poor physical and mental state, it's difficult to transform no matter how hard you try. Focus on 2 things:
• Regular schedule, replenish energy: Sleep before 11 PM every day, wake up around 7 AM. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that 11 PM-3 AM is the key period for liver and gallbladder detoxification. Staying up late severely depletes qi and blood, leading to low fortune;
• 15 minutes of "positive anchoring" daily: After waking up in the morning, say 3 positive affirmations to yourself in the mirror (such as "I deserve to be blessed with good fortune," "Good things will happen today," "I have the ability to solve problems I encounter"), combined with deep breathing, letting the body remember the positive state.
The most terrible thing during low periods is "doing nothing." The less you do, the more anxious you become; the more anxious, the more afraid you are to act. At this time, don't pursue "big breakthroughs," start with things so small they can't fail:
• Complete 1 "small goal" daily: For example, drink 8 glasses of water, walk downstairs for 10 minutes, organize 1 drawer, reply to 1 important message;
• Actively do 1 "altruistic small thing": Help a neighbor get a package, send a caring message to a friend, donate 1 yuan on a charity platform. In traditional culture, "families that accumulate virtue will have surplus blessings." Altruistic behavior can quickly accumulate positive energy, forming a positive cycle of fortune.
When your own energy is insufficient during low periods, you can appropriately use external energy, but avoid "superstition," choose scientific and regular methods:
• Get close to nature: Spend 1-2 hours in natural environments like parks, lakesides, mountains and forests once a week. The plants and water in nature can purify negative energy and restore peace to body and mind;
• Wear/place "positive symbols": Choose items you like that can bring psychological comfort, such as a string of hand-polished wooden beads, a pot of vigorously growing green plants (plants with strong vitality like pothos and money trees can transmit positive growth energy). Note: The core function of items is "psychological anchoring," not "inherent magic." The key is that when you see it, you can remember "to be positive."
Many people fail at transformation because they fall into these traps, which must be avoided:
• Reject "quick success": Don't believe "spending big money can immediately transform" or "buying a talisman will make everything smooth." Such behaviors will only make you fall into greater anxiety;
• Don't blindly "follow transformation trends": Others' methods may not suit you. For example, some people are suitable for transformation through exercise, while others are suitable for adjustment through quiet reading. Choose according to your own state;
• Avoid "overthinking": Don't obsess all day about "why am I so unlucky" or "when will fortune improve." Overthinking consumes a lot of energy. It's better to put energy into specific actions.
According to past case statistics, after persisting with the above methods for 21-45 days, most people will clearly feel changes in their state (such as emotions becoming calmer, encountering small good fortune). Transformation is a "gradual" process. The core is "continuous positive accumulation." Don't expect huge breakthroughs in 1-2 days.
Of course you can. "After extreme adversity comes prosperity" is a natural law. The longer the low period, the more "positive potential energy" has accumulated. As long as you find the right method to break stagnation, the force of transformation may be even greater. A client once had a low period lasting 1 year. After persisting with adjustments for 3 months, not only did they find a satisfactory job, but also met a life partner. The key is not to give up on yourself, even if you only progress 1% each day.
No. The core meaning of fortune telling is "knowing the situation," letting you understand your current state and possible directions, not "changing fate." True transformation relies on your own adjustments and actions - clearing negative energy, activating positive states, breaking stagnation with actions. This is the key to controlling fortune. Over-reliance on fortune telling will instead lose subjective initiative and fall into the trap of "passively waiting for good fortune."
You can use the "3-minute emergency method": ① Immediately leave the environment that makes you collapse (such as walking from the room to the balcony, from the office to downstairs); ② Take 3 deep breaths (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 6 seconds); ③ Say 1 "positive fact of the moment" (such as "I'm still alive, I have a chance to start over" or "There are still people who care about me around me"). This method can quickly pull back out-of-control emotions and buy time for subsequent adjustments.
In fact, the answer to how to turn your life around during low periods is already hidden within yourself. Transformation is not "begged for," but "practiced" - clear negative energy, let body and mind return to peace; break stagnation with micro-actions, accumulate positive feedback; avoid the trap of quick success, adjust gradually.
Remember: Low periods are never the end of fate, but a starting point for you to settle yourself and start anew. Starting today, try doing one small thing, adjusting your schedule once, saying one positive affirmation, slowly activating your own energy field. Believe that before long, you will feel the transformation of fortune and welcome your own moment of "prosperity after adversity."
