Challenges Are an Opportunity to Create a Life You Love.

Sometimes we feel unlucky or frustrated by life’s challenges, but they come every day anyway. A great way to embrace life’s ups and downs is to realize that every situation presents an opportunity for us to be wiser and stronger as we learn our life lessons. When a situation depresses or overwhelms me, I quickly turn to asking questions as a way to distract myself and focus on the solution.

Some of my go-to questions are: What can I learn from this situation? How can I feel more confident? What would be the best outcome?

When you ask yourself questions like these, you are no longer focusing on the problem; you are focusing on the solution. It takes you out of the victim mindset and helps you feel empowered. You may not be able to solve your problems instantly, but at least with these questions, you can create a plan to help you get exactly what you want.

Does this help you? I would love to know. Please leave a comment. My books provide self-help and self-care ideas to show you how to ease negative emotions, build confidence and feel empowered! https://www.georgettevanvliet.com/bookstore
