Ep: 061 - Remaining Positive During Adversity

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” -Marcus Aurelius This week we cover a topic that hits close to home to both hosts Mike and Melon. Recently, both have experienced physical setbacks that will effect their every day lives, which, as we all know can take a toll on our positive outlooks for the present and the future. So what do we do when this happens? How can we hold onto positivity? We prepare for the adversity and then we face it as our best version. When adversity shows up at your doorstep, we find ourselves asking “Now what do I do?!” That wave of uncertainty or fear sets in, and it begins to formulate possible outcomes or future’s in our mind that we may not necessarily want, driving ourselves into a state of panic or uncomfortableness. *A few things that we’ve learned along the way to help combat this, and to try to remain positive during adversity: -Accept your current reality. It may have been not what you planned, but it is happening. -Try not to focus on WHY this happened as much as WHAT you can do going forward. -Remember what you are still in control of, not what you can’t control. -Aim to be in a state of gratefulness, for you may not have lost absolutely everything. How has adversity changed your life for the better? For the worst? What could you do differently next time you face it? Is it some thing you were incapable of doing or just afraid to do? Let us know!
