Taking a flurry of steps, I moved my mom to a care center because she had dementia, found a home for her dog, and gutted her apartment that also served as her storage unit. I had to move quickly through the maze of obstacles. The apartment had to be completely overhauled to avoid eviction. The manager had scheduled an inspection within the week. I desperately wanted their home in good standing. Although I felt emotionally and physically depleted, I felt relief as I finished each task.
Finally, after a couple of weeks, I had completed the urgent demands. I had overcome enormous unexpected obstacles over the past couple of weeks. Feelings of self-love and appreciation washed over me. The positive feelings that permeated through me are hard to put into words. The experience was intense. Having the positive feelings come during such a challenging time felt strangely out of place.
I had similar feelings in the past as a single mom handling the surgeries and care of my disabled kids. I experienced feelings of self-satisfaction, appreciation, fulfillment, accomplishment, and relief. Hence the saying,.
By accepting and surrendering to what is happening, instead of resisting it, overcoming challenges is easier. The experience goes smoother. I love the word, surrender. A loss feels like a loss no matter how it looks. Some of my challenges include: raising two children with the rare condition, Miller syndrome, which causes multiple disabilities, as well as a separate lung disease and autism. I even experience moments of feeling good during the challenging events as I described in my earlier story.
It might be hard to believe that we can feel positive in the middle of a problem but it is possible! The rewards you receive from overcoming challenges enhance the positive experience of feeling good. Dream it, craft it, and write it down. Step 2: Identify the obstacles : Allow yourself to think negatively and pinpoint all the opposition.
Highlight everything that lies in between you and achieving your vision. Step 3: Find transformative solutions: Face those obstacles one at a time and head-on to find creative solutions and strategies to overcome them. I hoped to carry this into my race, but I knew that it would be…. I chose delegating because this might be the biggest thing that I need to work on. Sometimes when I am really passionate or really good at something it becomes difficult for me to let others help me.
As previously stated, I expect near perfection and have a hard time trusting others to give me that result. I can develop this by learning to trust people and by accepting results that are less than perfect.
Learning something new is always a scary experience. Ive always avoided learning to ride a bike because I had always been so scared of falling and hurting myself. One day I worked up the courage to finally learn how to ride a bike because I decided that it was an important skill that I should learn. The question "who am I" is by far the most important question that we can ask ourselves in our daily lives.
It not only relates to the subject of identity but the everything and everyone who has a certain effect towards you in life. In my life, a numerous amount of events, people, and decisions have assisted in influencing me to be the person I am today. People that possess tenacity look beyond an obstacle and treat it as an opportunity to improve.
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. That feeling is natural and normal. Even the most successful people have their moments of doubt where they want to quit and leave it all behind. You have to fight through all that bad to get to the good though. You stop viewing obstacles as things that get in the way of success, but instead an integral part of the process itself. This attitude takes practice, but one way we can jump-start it is by using positive affirmations.
