In these unpredictable times, many people are struggling with anxieties and concerns about their future. That's why we want to share our thoughts on how to face obstacles, overcome adversity, and thrive in challenging times.
Facing Obstacles: Tips to Achieve Your Goals
As children, we learn to try and face obstacles to the best of our abilities. However, the way we deal with life's challenges can be remarkably diverse depending on our role models and experiences. To overcome obstacles, we must address and process the challenges we face.
During our consultations, we asked people what they want from themselves or others when dealing with obstacles in life. Here are some practical tips:
- Face it: Do not avoid the issue. Instead, confront the problem head-on.
- Be realistic: Do not be hard on yourself, and do the best that you can to resolve or address the problem.
- The inner saboteur: Be kind to yourself and avoid being your harshest critic.
- Break it down: Make the task manageable for you and share the load if the problem will be easier to solve.
- Stay positive: Be your own cheerleader when the obstacles are tough.
We also want to mention that complaining can be counterproductive. If you do, understand that if you repeat yourself with no attempt at change, people will switch off and not take your situation seriously.
Overcoming Adversity: Tips for Success Irrespective of Challenges
To overcome adversity is to be successful irrespective of challenges. Some of the greatest examples of overcoming adversity have resulted in cultural changes or significant personal development. Sometimes, it's about losing everything as you know it to see what you actually have.
During our consultations, we asked people what they want from themselves or others when dealing with adversity in life. Here are some practical tips:
- Set short-term plans and goals: Make it bite-sized and manageable.
- Communication is important: Speak up if you need support.
- Healthy risk is important: Some risk is crucial, as it adds value to an experience.
- Look after yourself: Do things that make you feel safe or content.
- Understand what you have learned: Good or bad, you can learn from it.
Thriving in Uncertainty: Tips to Blossom, Prosper, and Succeed
To survive means we continue to exist, but to thrive means we blossom, prosper, or succeed. Surviving is doing what is necessary to live, but thriving combines addressing obstacles and overcoming adversity to live up to your full potential.
During our consultations, we asked people what they want from themselves or others when facing uncertainty in life. Here are some practical tips:
- Try something new: If you don't try, you won't know if it was the answer you needed.
- Find stability in the storm: A partner, a friend, a family member, or your safe place can help you find your unique self without any masks or pretense.
- Learning through crisis: Find ways to evaluate
