I mean stuck as in, you would like to do so much more with your life but you don’t know how to move forward. It’s like every step forward is ten steps backwards.
Do you know we all go through that in life, you are not alone! I am going to share my Life Line with you which is very personal to my journey through life.
As you can see in the image, no journey is a straight line, if it was…it would be boring.
Many of us go through life dealing with obstacles in different ways, depending on your personality, coping strategies, and the nature of the obstacle itself. Here are some common strategies that people use to deal with obstacles:
- Problem-solving: Some people deal with obstacles by actively trying to solve the problem. They may research solutions, seek advice from others, or try different approaches until they find a solution.
- Emotional coping: Others deal with obstacles by focusing on their emotions and trying to manage their feelings. They may talk to friends or family members for support, engage in relaxation techniques like meditation or exercise, or seek professional help.
- Acceptance: Some people deal with obstacles by accepting the situation and focusing on how they can adapt to it. They may reframe their thinking, focus on the positives, or find new opportunities that have arisen as a result of the obstacle.
- Avoidance: Finally, some people deal with obstacles by avoiding them altogether. They may ignore the problem, distract themselves with other activities, or try to distance themselves from the source of the obstacle.
Does the above sound familiar to your situation?
It’s worth noting that different strategies may be more effective for different types of obstacles, and it’s important to find a strategy that works for you. Seeking support from others, maintaining a positive mindset, and taking care of your physical and emotional health can also be helpful in dealing with obstacles.
Much Love and Light,
