What if the worst thing that ever happened to you turned out to
be the best thing that ever happened?

Funk: a feeling of despair, uncertainty, depression, anxiety, and
fear accompanied by thoughts such as “what do I do next?”
While we are knee deep in the messiness of life, we often can’t
see that the funk we are in is only temporary. Funks teach us an
important life lesson or two; it’s what we learn from facing life’s
challenging times that matter most, because once we find our
way out of our funks, life will never be the same. And that’s
where the great stuff begins.

The only way through life’s funks is directly through the
uncomfortable mess. Then we get to the good stuff. The stuff
that teaches what we need to learn from that experience, what
not to repeat, and possibly open a bold, new path we never
imagined. But how we deal with the many types of funks life has
in store for us is key to long-term mental health and well-being.
