It’s all about what you are made of, not your circumstances. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Most of the time we can’t control the hand that we are dealt, but we can choose how we play the game.
Here are three ways we can change our mindset so we can withstand life’s curveballs.
1.) Believe that “you got this” and that you can overcome anything. I’ve heard people say, “fake it until you make it”, and it is true. When we act as though we are in control and that we can handle things, eventually we get to a place where we actually believe it.
2.) Welcome struggle and adversity. Struggle and adversity shape your character. It allows you to build confidence in yourself and grow. Instead of seeing these as hurdles, see them as allies in your personal journey.
3.) Ask for help when you need it. I know, this is hard. I hate asking for help. I convince myself I don’t really need it and I’m being ridiculous by asking for it. But we all need help sometimes. And sometimes that looks like having a friend you can vent to. Life can be hard and unburdening yourself and sharing the load can help you refocus so you can start building an effective solution.
