Have you ever had everything in your life go well as you wanted and then out of no where life hits you with a curb? Everyone has experienced that at some point, some more than others. They way people react when they are in a tough situation is different and it all had to do with mentality. For instance, if you are a sensitive person, you will most likely either cry, throw something, or have a panic attack. If you are strong minded you react by either not speaking and being serious all day or do activities that will keep you busy and get your mind off the negative things.
Other times life hits way harder than being in a situation where you failed an exam, such as death, illness, financially struggling, etc. No matter how dark life hits, here are three main tips on what to do to get rid of any negativity.
1. Think about solutions
Even though most of the time people do not want to think about the situation they find themselves in, it is smart to think of possible solutions. This will allow your mind to ease rather than stress over and over about the same thins. Thinking of possible solutions can make you realize that maybe your situation isn't as big as you originally, though, allows you to seek a positive side, and it allows you to work on improving yourself and maturity.
For example, let's say you had just lost your job and you were making a great amount of money. Yo are stressed because you are jobless, your solutions would be to start applying for new jobs, look through your connections and see if anyone can offer you a job, or maybe you decide you don't want a job or want a job in a different field. You unstressed yourself by realizing your endless possibilities in the workforce.
2. Seek advice
Nobody wants to but their businesses out there but getting advice from other voices will make you feel better because they will know how to comfort you. You will also get different perspectives of what people have to say and at the end, it is up to you whether you want to take someone's advice or not. It will make you feel less alone, especially if someone has been in the same position at some point.
3. Sleep
Sleeping is the remedy for everything and anything! And you know this is true if you every cried yourself to sleep, woken up and somehow everything is more clear. You previous emotional state is different and you have a new start.
Life can be a little bitter when we least expect it, but we must remind ourselves that it's just a bump and we will continue with our journey. It's all about staying positive!
