I like your 6 tips, especially #2 on taking action. I often tell my coaching clients that there is nothing more empowering than taking action on what we love. I'll like to add on a tip #7, which is simply to take a break. I was in a slump a few months ago (I wrote about it my blog (http://celestinechua.com/blog/2010/01/why-we-have-slumps-and-how-to-get-out-of-them/) and I realized it was because I had not given myself proper rest. Many of us, myself included, have the tendency to go on and on without resting which leads us to fall into a slump. Even though we know we shouldn't be driving a car continuously without stopping for fuel, for some reason we do it to ourselves, and that leads to a slump. Rest and rejuvenation is definitely needed to walk the longer road ahead! .-= Celestine Chua´s last blog ..<a href="http://celestinechua.com/blog/2010/02/12-dating-facts-about-me/" rel="nofollow">12 Dating Facts About Me</a> =-.

Would you agree with this approach?

It's when things are not working well for you, a string of bad luck or any other period of time where you might be unproductive or just feeling like you are not able to perform like usual.

When things hit a slump, I'd rather scrap a project and start something new. I've become a lot better at it in recent years, though -- instead of scrapping something, I simply try to change its nature. “Don’t give up” is the hard one for me.

The lowest being when you don't feel like doing anything and have a very hard time making decisions about simple things IE) what do I want to eat? There have been phases of semi-productivity and growth, but overall you just know the slump continues, year after year no matter how positive the brief highs are there will always be "slumps". Chalk 2008 up as another bad year... and no, medication is not the answer. You know.. having lived in slumpville for many years now, I’d have to say there are different levels of it.

I'm glad my article had some impact for you! And Steve, you are so right about the ease of a slump. Luckily it's quite normal to occur, it's just best if you can keep moving in the right direction like you point out! Thanks for all the added comments and personal examples Bunny!
