How to Be Resilient: 8 Steps to Success When Life Gets Hard

  “Stick with it!” “Be resilient!” “Never give up!” I see a lot of stuff about resilience, persistence and grit.

How can we shrug off huge challenges in life, persist and — in the end — succeed? So I looked at the most difficult scenarios for insight. (Who needs resilience in easy situations, right?) When life and death is on the line, what do the winners do that the losers don’t? Turns out surviving the most dangerous situations has some good lessons we can use to learn how to be resilient in everyday life. Whether it’s dealing with unemployment, a difficult job, or personal tragedies, here are insights that can help.   1) Perceive And Believe “The company already had two rounds of layoffs this year but I never thought they would let me go.” “Yeah, the argument was getting a little heated but I didn’t think he was going to hit me.” The first thing to do when facing d

Turn A Difficult Situation Into A Better One

  Turn A Difficult Situation Into A Better One The beauty of life is that it is full of unpredictable situations that make it an adventurous journey. It does not matter whether situations are favorable or difficult, time does not come to stand still. The fact is that, situations do not remain exactly the same throughout the life. Sometimes situations are in your favor but other times it becomes really difficult and never seems to be ending. However, to ensure success in life, you need to turn difficult situations into a better one. Difficult situations come into the lives of each and every person sooner or later.

7 Steps To Accept Tough Situations In Life

  7 Steps To Accept Tough Situations In Life There’s a mysterious place called Octopus Springs in Yellowstone National Park.  Octopus Springs is one of the unique places on Earth that’s labeled an  “extreme environment.”  For life to exist here it’s poised with ‘against all odds’ defying challenges.  The fact that life can even exist at all is nothing short of a miracle. But life does exist.  Against all odds, it finds a way. Humans have more in common with these extreme environments than we might initially think.  Although we have water, sunlight, electricity, heat, and shelter, there are still periods of our lives – sometimes long unbearable periods – that we wonder how life can be so cruel, hard and impossible. So uninhabitable. Take a look at the 4 dreaded D’s of life, any one of them alone is enough to collapse us to our knees. The 4 dreaded D’s: Death (Have you recently lost a loved one?) Disease (Are you sick? Or is a loved one sick?) Divorce (This one is tough too, it’s like an

   10 Things To Remember When Going Through Tough Times Perhaps you’re not having the best week… or month… or year. I get it. There’s a lot of people who’d like a refund on 2020.   Ahhh , if only.   So if you’re doing it tough right now, here’s ten truths to help you weather this ‘storm’ better, and emerge better off.  1- Dwelling on what you  don’t   want  works against what you  do want We all have our ideas of how things ‘should’ be. So when our plans derail and the reality we find ourselves in is a far cry from the one we’d worked for, it’s easy to get into a wrestling match with life. But the biggest thing that messes us up is not the external conditions of our lives, it’s the picture in our heads about how we think those conditions should be.  When you  let go  and accept your reality for all that it  is , you reclaim energy lost to the battle against what it  isn’t .  2- You’ve overcome tough times before.

Without a doubt, trying to maintain a normal routine is difficult.
