Staying Positive When Life Is Challenging... My life has it's ups and downs, and sometimes the challenges can seem overwhelming. But it's during these times that maintaining a positive outlook becomes most crucial for me. Here are some things that have helped me navigate through the difficult moments lately: 1) Practicing Gratitude: I focus on what I have rather than what I don't. It shifts my mindset significantly. Each day, I try to list at least three things I'm grateful for. It’s a small exercise but incredibly powerful and everyone that knows me personally knows I encourage others to do this when things are hard and it grounds you and reminds you what is important. 2) I speak up: I reach out to friends, family, or colleagues for support. Sharing my thoughts and feelings provides relief and offers new perspectives or solutions I hadn't considered. I am so lucky to have friends who become unpaid therapists without ever judging, offering unconditional love and a listening ear. 3) Staying active: Exercise is such a great stress reliever for me. I dance every week and this helps me to switch off and decompress from whatever I am dealing with. The friendships I have made also are precious and the sense of belonging that comes with it is really special to me. 4) I set small goals: When life feels overwhelming, breaking down my tasks into smaller, manageable goals can make a big difference. I celebrate each small achievement to try and maintain momentum. 5) Positive Affirmations: I remind myself of my strengths and past successes. Positive affirmations can reinforce your self-worth and resilience and I also have a folder of nice messages that I can refer back to remind me that I am making a difference to people around me. Finally, I remember it's okay to have bad days, but embracing positivity and proactive strategies can help me weather the storm. What are your go-to methods for staying positive during challenging times? #StayPositive #Resilience #MentalHealth #PersonalGrowth #Mindfulness #Gratitude

Gratitude for sure! And yes to remembering what you have achieved and got through in the past. We’re quick to forget how strong we are when we’re facing a new challenge but the skills of resilience and all that you’ve mentioned here are super transferable across so much of life. Being honest is also important. When people ask how I am I’ll say something like “taking it a day at a time. Thanks for asking” rather than saying I’m fine and wrestling with the truth. Breaking behind a smile is what I call ‘The Lie We Wear’ and I find that people have respect, not pity when you’re brave enough to say life isn’t perfect. We’re all waiting for permission to be human. Great picture too!

My go to is... An early night, and before I go to sleep I tell myself, tomorrow is a new day. I can't change what's happened, but the experience of what's happened could change the way things turn out tomorrow! Have a great day😀
