Life is a roller coaster: How to embrace it, rather than swim against it

Life can be a rollercoaster: some days we wake up on the sunny warm side of life, other days on the rainy cold side. Many factors can play a role and shift the mood in one or the other direction. Especially, for women this is the case, having a natural cycle dictating a woman’s life through all stages of life. One’s personal life story of course, play the predominant role in how we face challenges. With a more optimistic outlook, we can cope with many more demanding situations life can bring. This positive outlook isn’t just something we’re born with. It’s an interplay of nature vs. nurture, experiences, situations, interactions with self and others, and being at the right place and time for the magic to happen. Sometimes we feel things fall into pieces other times things fall in to places. Life is unpredictable at times, as much as we wish to control it. I find it very challenging myself, to let my thoughts wonder and be open to what comes. Certain practices can be very beneficial to putting you back on track. Embarrassing the uncertainties and go with the flow!   @drschwank @unesurcent
