Learning how to overcome life’s challenges can be tough. There you are strolling thru your daily routine sipping your morning latte, joking with your co-workers at work, visiting friends, or spending time with family on vacation, loving life. You are experiencing a normal, well planned daily routine and looking forward to an exciting future. LIFE IS GOOD!
And then, like a bolt of lightning, you are struck down
A negative impact that is so powerful lands on your lap. It’s like a sudden wake up call that occurs without any warning that can change your emotional equilibrium & well being, deteriorating your mental state. It has the potential to affect your health, your relationships, your financial situation and your happiness.
Look back in your own life when this may have happened to you. Can you remember this event and how you got thru it? Perhaps you are experiencing a negative situation right now that has left you physically weak, mentally exhausted and emotionally drained.
Our lives can change in an instant. A sudden traumatic car accident, loss of a job, break up of a relationship, decline in the economy, health issues, or the death of a loved one. It is never easy to overcome these challenges.
Trying to adjust to these events can be extremely stressful because our lives have an element of being planned out. In fact, 80% of our lives are patterned in such a way as to create more balance. So, it is easy to understand that when a negative situation does occur our very first reaction is automatic, it is negative.
We do not Respond, We React
We become fearful not knowing what is going to happen to us, how it will affect our life, or the loss that could inevitably occur and the changes that may very well take place. We focus entirely on our negative thoughts completely forgetting there is another side to the story. Fear, doubt and worry become the ‘norm’ until we decide to take control of the situation, and our mindset. Thru my own personal experiences, it definitely can be done easier than you think.
Having the ability to adapt with resilience makes the uncertain things that happen to us in life more certain. Being resilient enables us to live a life that is based on choice, on our thoughts and actions rather than at the mercy of chance or habit. No matter what happens, you can always bounce back with a vigor that perhaps you have never experienced before.
We are all resilient creatures and made to Thrive!
