We are all going to be faced with challenges, it’s part of life!
It’s super easy for us to get stuck thinking about the negatives when things are difficult for us…
“This sucks!”
“I can’t believe this!”
“Why me?”
I can go on….we’ve all been there before.
When you’re faced with a challenge, why not take a step back, breathe, and ask yourself “what positive changes can come out of this for me?”
When we think about the positive impact a challenge or difficult situation has on us, there’s lots of good things that actually come to us.
You just have to think about them, they’re there, and there’s a lot!
We can get ourselves into a growth mindset, which is the best way to approach things in life!
When we control our thoughts, we start thinking about positives, our mood changes, we feel better about the challenge and we can react in a positive way….all positives!! Yes!!
We can realize things aren’t so bad and we can get up and move on….in a positive way!
Think about how the challenge has impacted your life: personally, in your relationships, your perspective, do you have a better outlook on life?
Maybe you realized you would rather do something different because it has caused to much negativity in your life. That’s positive because you learned something new about yourself!
Maybe through the challenge you learned to appreciate your life more and be grateful….another positive!
Maybe through the challenge you realized you needed more help, now go get the extra help you need. That’s progress, learning about yourself….needing to reach out for help, is ok!
What challenge are you going through right now?
Take a step back, think about the positive changes that have impacted your life through the challenge you’re going through and focus on those.
As soon as a negative thought comes in your mind, shut it down with a positive…keep doing that.
The more positives that you think of, the more you will overcome the challenge you’re faced.
You will overcome it!
Next time you’re faced with another challenge, repeat!
Your thoughts create your life, you are in control!
