Did you lose your job? Did you end up with your partner? Did you lose a loved one? Did you diagnose any illness that you did not expect? You are sad, desperate, desolate, everything looks gray; but you want to get ahead, only at this moment it is difficult for you. In today's article I give you several strategies to help you regain your joy and maintain a positive attitude despite the circumstances.
I understand perfectly how you should feel, I know from my own experience that after such a situation, it is not easy to get up and continue. Take your time.
In fact, a few weeks ago I went through a rather unpleasant situation that kept me sad, scared and worried for several days, but as nothing came out staying like this, after crying and doing all the dramas I wanted, I dried my tears, I took away the fear and I decided to face the situation.
And today I say the same to you: cry all you want, let off steam, but then get up and start looking for solutions. Understand that everything that happens to you, happens to you for good. Each problem, however difficult it may seem, brings us a blessing, a teaching, something we need to learn.
Turn your problem into an opportunity
When faced with a problem, you have two options: stay forever regretting, looking for the culprits, asking yourself why, or getting up and looking for solutions, asking yourself the “why” of this situation, which is not the same as “why”.
Perhaps that dismissal is the opportunity WHY you start creating your own business. Or the breakdown of your relationship serves TO dedicate more time to you, to learn to spend more time with yourself.
In my case, the new challenge I am experiencing is helping me to open my mind to new ideas, to know a world that I did not know before, to understand concepts that I did not understand.
Right now I am reading a book that if they had given it to me months ago, I would have put no issue, or in the first pages I would have been bored. However now with this situation in between, I am very excited reading it and reflecting with each one of them.
I have begun to appreciate life even more, to understand other people better, to be more humble. What happened to me shook me completely, and today despite all that, I appreciate that it is happening to me because that was what I needed to have the consciousness and maturity that I am acquiring today.
So instead of regretting yourself, ask yourself WHY this situation is happening to you. What do you need to learn and find the opportunity behind all this.
Get out of the negativity that this problem generates for you
Stop complaining because if you keep doing it you will continue creating more difficult moments. But if you instead focus on solutions, soon this whole bad time will be over. I assure you.
As Dr. David Hawkins says in his book "Letting Go: The Way of Surrender," one of the laws of consciousness is: "We are only subject to negative thinking or belief if we consciously say it applies to us. We are free to choose not to acquire a negative belief system. "
“For negativity to apply in our lives, we must first subscribe to it, and second, give it the energy of belief. If we have the power to manifest negativity in our lives, obviously our mind also has the power to realize its opposite. "
Taking the same example that the author gives in this book, this means that, if in the newscast they announce that the unemployment rate is at its all-time high and you hear the phrase where the commentator states "There is no job", it is there, where you have the freedom to choose whether or not to believe in that statement, whether or not it applies to you, whether or not you give what you just heard.
Just as you have the power to empower that negative belief, you also have the power and energy to make the opposite a reality, how? Refusing to accept that negative belief as a reality to you, and instead choosing to focus on the positive results you want to see, looking for examples of people who being in the same situation have achieved what you want, and having faith (the certainty of what is expected, the conviction of what is not seen) that it will be so.
Seek help, stop fighting alone
If the situation you are experiencing is bigger than you, seek help, do not fight alone. It is true that for many of us it is difficult to ask for help, but if we are used to being the ones who solve the problems of others, but at times like these, let yourself be helped. It is the best you can do for yourself.
Find those positive people, who encourage you, listen to you and support you, maybe a tip from them is all you need to get up and continue. What has encouraged me the most at the moment has been feeling the support of the people who love me the most, and above all having discovered the book that I am now reading, which came to me just asking for help from other people.
Appreciate everything you have right now
Perhaps this moment is the perfect occasion to stop your march, take a sheet of paper and thank everything you have at this moment.
Make a list of at least 20 wonderful things you already have in your life and be deeply grateful for it. These can be the qualities that you possess as a person, the things that you have, the water that you bathe with, the sun that gives you shelter, the children that you have, be grateful for everything, however small it may seem.
You can also thank for everything that is to come as if they were already in your life.
If thanksgiving makes a daily habit, soon you will have more than what you are thanking, in addition to each day you will be charged with positive energy that will help you maintain your positive attitude towards life.
Apply these four effective strategies to restore your joy and desire to continue, and soon you will be seeing your problems and adversities from another perspective.
I hope you will tell me how it went, and if I can help you with something else, I will be happy to do it, just let me know.
