@amiablePeace77 I appreciate this question! Thank you for asking. 💓
When I’m faced with a tough situation, I often try to draw on my past experiences to help cope with it. I find that looking back at past challenging experiences sometimes give me the boost of confidence I need to try to face the current ones.
I also try to remind myself that no matter the difficulty of my circumstances, I shouldn’t be defined by it. I tell myself that this too shall pass, also acknowledging and accepting the emotions that I feel at that moment.
Learning from past events, I know that withdrawing from friends and families during challenging times may not only make me feel isolated but also cause worry among them. Therefore, I reach out. Not only to my loved ones and friends but also here, on 7 Cups. I’ve found it’s a great avenue to have your problems heard without feeling judged or prejudiced.

You have learned from the past and make use of the lessons learned for the now👍. It feels good when one can just say what's on the mind with feeling judged or prejudiced!
What about the others who are in a similar situation like me? I tend to ask myself this question and move forward with the circumstances.
I have realized that it is my anxiety and avoidance that is putting me back. I have learned to do the things that I am avoiding. Such as communicating with people and talking.
Another way to deal with hard or difficult situations is to think positively instead of the negatives. Think about the things you were able to do instead of worrying about the future. Be in the present moment. Enjoy it. Keep going. Though we may face difficult situations, what keeps me motivated is the fact that there is something good at the end. Or rewarding. This boost my overall mood.
Some affirmations that help me are:
I can do this.
I am growing every day.
Everyday is a new day.
Forget the past. Don't worry about the future. Instead enjoy the present moment.
I am beautiful.
