The one certainty of life is how uncertain it is. Life experiences can throw curve balls (i.e. unexpected changes) that often leaves one whirling. It’s always great when changes create positive results, builds one up, or fulfill desires. On the other hand, it truly sucks when changes aren’t wanted and leaves behind challenging emotions like sadness, frustration, anger, or disappointment.
Managing thoughts and attitudes is powerful in remaining focused towards responding to change versus reacting. Responding allows you to be the director of how you live your life versus reacting, which only creates added stress.
Is it always easy to keep a positive attitude during challenging changes? No.
Is being “hard” a reason not to practice? No.
Is it worth putting forth the effort? Absolutely.
Immediately following upsetting change, you may find yourself wanting to quit, not having the energy to do anything. There’s nothing wrong with taking a moment, where you do nothing but focus on how much things suck or the “why me?” thinking, but it’s key to keep it brief. Soon following, do whatever you can to keep focus on standing firm and not getting knocked out. Find a healthy way to release the challenging emotions then create your plan to overcome.
—-How is that possible?—-
It starts within. Get your mind on track toward positive intentions, thoughts, and visual reminders of how you wish to show up in life. Ultimately, it’ll all lead to a direct outward reflection in your actions and created reality.
It’s worth controlling your attitude toward reinforcing a MASTERFUL YOU!
So, ask yourself:
What will be my masterful attitude(s)?
How can I practice my masterful attitude(s) throughout my days?
