The hope of better times ahead coupled with reminding myself that a pool of people love me to death.
@amiablePeace77
Taking a step back, pausing if possible to consider all options, ask for help if possible.

Connecting with the breath calms y mind and helps me think clearer.
@amiablePeace77
What helps you to navigate through challenging situations?
Things like believing in myself, never giving up, positive affirmations, keeping a positive optimistic mindset and attitude. Whenever I was in a challenging situation these things always helped me to get through them.
@akunknown
We are really strong when we believe in ourselves!
@amiablePeace77
I respect that and it's a lesson I have definitely learnt as I've got older.
@amiablePeace77
Prayer.
Space to process.
Sometimes just accepting some things are out of my control, and the acceptance allows me to stop carrying the heaviness of a situation 💕💖💚🩷💜💙🩵🧡🧡💛
@Amanda84
Shifting our focus on what we can control and let go of what we cannot makes life easier!

I proved that this morning 👍👍

Talking to my friend on 7 cups who also happens to be my listener.
@purpleTree4652
Great that you have that support. We can't walk through life alone all the time.
@amiablePeace77
I have a bad habit of not being able to see the trees because of the forest. I remove myself from the situation and approach it again with a different view.
@courageouspanda2006
Removing yourself from a situation to gain a different perspective sounds very helpful!
@amiablePeace77
Difficult situations are not always scary and many do not require a "bounce-back and cope".
Personal administration and finances are my pet peeves. When I am done with a long such chore, my heart races as if I was in a fight, and I feel anxious that everything was done properly.
A difficult situation can be, for example, the loss of one's spouse, which comes with both grief and worry and it takes a long time to get one's balance back, if ever in some cases.
Navigating through challenging situations can take several aspects. It is often when the situation is behind you that you realize what you went through. In the moment; you don't, because your mind is busy solving the issue. It may take a call with one's lawyer, or a stiff drink, or a visit to the doctor, comfort in the arms of a family member or close friend, or talking it out with a 7cups listener.
We frequently encounter difficult circumstances in many facets of life, which puts our ability to bounce back and cope to the test.

@Fradiga
Support is very important in life, especially when we face really difficult tasks or highly emotional challenges like grieving.
Remembering that emotions, especially the heavy ones, are temporary is what gets me through difficult times. Instead of getting overwhelmed by everything at once, I try to concentrate on what I can control right now. Sometimes it's as simple as writing down my ideas, talking to someone I trust, going for a walk, or removing myself from the chaos. Sometimes it's perspective, telling myself that I've made it through difficult situations before and that I can make it through this one as well. To be honest, it helps when I give myself permission for not getting everything together all at once. Endurance continues, but difficult times fade.U
