“I am in a rut.” These are the words we often hear when faced with challenges. Let’s face it challenges are like our bread and coffee in the morning. You will never run out of it. As absurd as it is, it does remind us that we are still alive.
In this path that we call life, overcoming the challenges in life is the biggest feat that we have to go through. It requires the right mindset strong enough to withstand or surpass these obstacles. Looking at challenges from a different perspective can help us get out of this slump.
Channel your emotions. Find an outlet for your negative emotions by starting a journal. This can help you release all your bottled emotions that are weighing you down.
Happiness is a choice. We don’t wait for happiness, we choose it. Happiness starts with gratefulness. Count your blessings as this helps you develop an abundance mindset that makes you see through the hardship in life.
Accept challenges as they come.
Listen to your mentors. Mentors can be real or virtual. Who you listen to in times like this creates a huge impact on your decision.
Let go of the things you can’t control. Traffic, flood, crazy boss or stubborn clients – all of these are beyond your control. You can’t change them but you can control HOW you respond to them.
Exercise. Those tense muscles and constricting heart will be relaxed with a simple workout.
Never gives up. Resilience is an important recipe in life.
Get out in nature. Allow some alone time to recuperate and be one with nature. The beauty of nature reminds you that you’re just a speck in this vast universe. There is more to life.
Envision your goals fulfilled. Act on it. Clarity brings you closer to your goal and action makes it real.
