6 Simple Secrets to Getting Up After Falling Down
6 Simple Secrets to Getting Up After Falling Down
The secret to getting up after falling down is not in the legs. Nope, it’s not in the ski poles either. It’s not in the wrist nor the back. The secret to getting up is in your head. Deep in your head. Behind the eyes. Some place south of embarrassment, and north of despair.
Learn this secret and the next time you fall instead of saying, “Oh no! I fell and I can’t get up,” you’ll say, “Ha! I fell and now I can fly!”
1. Record it. Write down what happened. Observing your life and recording your experience is awareness. Awareness is the threshold to recovery.
2. Pay attention to the details. Write down what happened in vivid detail. Ask all your senses for a report. What did the eyes see, the nose smell etc.
3. Be the judge. Admit what you liked and what you did not like in those details. Was it all bad?
4. Be grateful for the experience. Express gratitude. Then write the worst part of the experience the way you wish it had happened.
5. Forget About It. Now, that you are feeling grateful and have explored a happier ending, write down in vivid detail a far better experience, one that has not yet happened and has nothing to do with falling down.
6. Be good to yourself and others and expect what you wrote in #5 to happen soon.
In an upcoming blog I will explore the first secret to getting up – Record it. I know it is easier said than done. I will explain just how important this secret is and how you can make it your own.

Getting Up After a Fall – Step 1: Recognize
A skinned knee, a bruised ego, a fracture, a loss – falling down has consequences.
Did you trip? Were you pushed?
Take a moment to assess. Recognize that you are down. Are you, in fact, down …again? Is this a pattern or a first-time occurrence?
Pay attention. Take notes. Accept what has happened as part of the past. Record your experience for future reference. Looking back will be sweet.
The first step is awareness. Use a journal. Record the facts. Make a list of the highlights or write the full story. Your choice.

Getting Up After a Fall – Step 2: Embrace
Injured and beaten, disappointment and embarrassment compromise your perspective.
Pain overwhelms you.
Embrace the experience.
Resist the urge to jump up and shake it off before examining the details. Ask for a full report from all of your senses.
Take the dirt that's in your mouth for instance. What does it taste like?
What do you see from the bottom?
What would you say defeat smells like?
How hard was the wall you slammed into?
Exactly how intense is your pain?
The answers to these questions are the finer details of your experience. Put the details in a journal. Unafraid to get personal with yourself, embrace your fall the way you would embrace a wounded child. Don’t skip this step. Just Get It Done Now!

Getting Up After a Fall – Step 4: Gratitude
Express gratitude for all the good and all the bad that is in your life.
Gratitude dispels negative energy. Really, what did being angry ever do for you? Alright it helped you blow off steam, but it’s a short-term response. Gratitude is the long-term solution.
Express gratitude to avoid holding a grudge and giving you one more thing to undo and get passed.
Take everything as a blessing.
Feel better.
Feel great.
Rise up on the cloud of gratitude. Just Get it Done Now!
