Life’s Challenges

Republished from Be Happy Stay Happy

Many times in our life we find that we are faced with challenges. How we deal with these challenges helps us grow.  Whether you are faced with an illness, divorce, loss of a loved one, job loss, etc., it is up to you how you handle it. Yes, these situations can suck but if you let them consume you, they can bring you down really fast.

Here are few suggestions to deal with challenges in our life:

• Surround yourself with positive people & embrace their energy.
• Remember that everything happens for a reason, even though we may not know it at the time.
• Don’t over think the issue. Accept the situation as it is and realize that sometimes there is nothing you can do to fix it.
• Open up to a friend or therapist and really let yourself be vunerable. Share your thoughts and how the situation makes you feel. Don’t hold back.
• Don’t beat yourself up about what you could have done in the past, that will get you nowhere.
• Change your perspective and look at the positive of the situation, think about how much you will grow and learn from it.
