From Powerless to Purposeful: Taking Control in Tough Times
Manage episode 450119878 series 3560759
Adversity is a marathon that we don’t feel prepared for. When that’s the case, we have to adapt, and manage our energy to get through it. One of the reasons some adversity seems insurmountable is because it leaves us feeling powerless. We aren’t! We can still make choices. Acknowledge what’s happening, connect with and support others to keep a more positive mindset, and act! Having a plan, or nested plans, keep you focused and moving forward in the face of adversity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
In order to move through adversity:
- Acknowledge
- Connect – get and give support
- Meditate
- Dance
- Plan
BEST MOMENTS
Through adversity, not only are we given opportunity to discover our inner strength, we are also given the gift of foresight so we can shine a light for others who go through the experience after us.
–Rachel Bermingham
It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life’s story will develop. –Deieter F. Uchtdorf

Perhaps the most radical act of resistance in the face of adversity is to live joyfully. –Ari Honorvar
