Is there any point in your life that you experienced extreme difficulty? The time when you felt desperate and hopeless and had no idea how to keep moving forward? As a matter of fact, we all go through struggles at one point in our lives. But the crucial part is how we respond to it. We can build the tenacity to face any challenges that we meet.
When we faced trials in life bravely, it builds our character. Oftentimes, the moments in life we are most proud of are the ones where we overcame adversity to accomplish something worthwhile. We need to do something that pushes our limits and beyond. We will realize that we are capable of accomplishing much than we ever imagined.
Every time we find ourselves stuck or facing a life challenge, we simply write down our thoughts in a journal. This allows us to get out of our head and separate ourselves from the impact of the experience. It brings the conscious brain into play while reducing the effects of the unconscious, emotional brain.
Think of a time when we felt more confident than we have ever felt before. Go back in time to all those memories that have robbed us of our confidence and create new meanings to them. We can literally go back in time and change our memories by repeatedly picturing the event while anchored into a positive state, so the meaning of the memory will become a positive one.
The next time we find ourselves facing a challenge, ask what someone we admire would do in our situation. One of the quickest ways to get what we want in life is to find someone who has it and do what they have done. Practice standing tall and embodying a posture of unbreakable confidence everywhere we go.
Focus always on the positive. Never let negative thoughts, feelings or emotions overpower us. We need to have self-discipline. The key to mastering self-control and willpower in the face of a challenge is learning how to build positive habits because most often we are afraid of the unknown and we get stressed on the process.
When times get rough, we need to be resilient in order to cope up. We need to prevent our negative feelings to surface by focusing on the positive things when faced with adversity. By doing this, we are able to face challenges fearlessly and take control of the situation no matter how demanding the trials in life are.
I want to dedicate this article to Arlyn Lanticse, my colleague and friend who suffered the same predicament I had.
