Three things to know when going through challenging times.
This article and Youtube video are for anybody currently going through a difficult time. For example, you could be going through a divorce, break up, business closure, etc. If your life appears to be in shambles and you don’t know how or where to begin, this may put things into perspective.
The first thing to acknowledge is that change is around the corner, positive change, I might add. Time has taught me that adversity and challenging times are signs that things will change for the better God Willing.
One of the main reasons things get overwhelming is not necessarily because of ‘What is’; instead, it’s the mind putting you in a state of panic. So rather than focusing on how to stand on your feet again, your mind directs you to only concentrate on the pain of the fall.
It’s important to note that you are in control of your mind, not the other way around. Therefore if your mind has gotten into the habit of putting you in a state of pain and panic, not to worry. You have the power to direct your mind and turn things around, God Willing. You are the captain of your life, not your mind.

- It will pass… In my experience, with every challenge or diversity I faced, my mind tried to scare me with forever. I now know that’s just an illusion, and it’s not true! Every challenge not only passed but were signs of change and new beautiful beginnings.
2.’If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. But by all means, keep moving.’ Martin Luther King JR
I love this quote. Again when challenging times come, the mind is very good at making you feel helpless. It’s not true! Instead of focusing on the problem, focus on the solution. You are the hero of your life: take baby steps every day to help you overcome what you are facing and turn things around.
3. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein.
Another quote I love. Change your mindset. Solving the problem with the same mindset you had when it was being manifested won’t help; you’ll just end up with the same if not more problems. Change the mindset and start to do things differently, and things will begin to brighten up, God Willing.
