Turning Obstacles Into Blessings

Written by Gerri D Smith


Continued from page 1

*** DEFEAT. This obstacle is all in your attitude. The more stressed or overwhelmed you are with handling challenges,repparttar more defeated you may feel. Let your faith work for you and know that with your skills you’ll get it right. At times, you may need to connect with a higher source of power. If your spirituality or belief is strong you will overcome any challenge.

*** CONFLICT. Dealing with difficult situations, and difficult people can be quite intimidating. What do you do when you find yourself in a frustrating situation? Are you passive? Aggressive? Or, assertive? After you’ve identifiedrepparttar 123445 specific issue, take a deep breathe, then act or speak with your honest feelings and get closure onrepparttar 123446 situation. For example: if you need to confront someone, be specific about what happened and how it made you feel. Then get your point across without hanging on to your anger. Look for a positive outcome--one that will benefit everyone involved.

Obstacles are only temporary misfortunes. The next time you experience an obstacle, whether it’s fear, guilt, defeat, criticism, or a conflict in your life or business, remember that you have a choice to turn any obstacle into a blessing. Take a look atrepparttar 123447 people you interact with. Are they fair? Positive and upbeat? Respectful? Pleasant to be around? Are yourepparttar 123448 same? If so, then your obstacles will be at a minimum.

Think of other obstacles that may hold you back from succeeding. Recognize them. When you encounter an unmovable obstacle, confront it and learn from it so thatrepparttar 123449 next time you’ll be stronger and quicker to get to a favorable result. Be positive. Be respectful. Be powerful. Be pleasant. You always have a choice!

Down On Your Luck? Here's How You Get Over The Hump!

They will grow and grow until you either feel like superman, or lower than whale poop, .

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining!

The good thing about all this is this. You can change any negative emotion with justrepparttar same methods you used to createrepparttar 123444 monster. Will this changerepparttar 123445 circumstances? It'll do whatever you believe.

Life is not a formula that always worksrepparttar 123446 same way. Byrepparttar 123447 same token, if you remain in a negative emotional state, stillrepparttar 123448 circumstances can change in your favor. It has happened to me a few times, not many. Also, I have remained in a positive emotional state at times and still sawrepparttar 123449 circumstances go sour. It's like being ahead thirty to nothing for four quarters and then losingrepparttar 123450 game inrepparttar 123451 last ten minutes.

It's just another test. All of life is a test! But, what it did for me was to sharpen my ability to keep my emotions positive. And, believe me; it feels a lot better to be up than stewing in your own juice.

See The Light!

Think about this: Somewhere out inrepparttar 123452 future, maybe a week, a month, whatever, there is a time thatrepparttar 123453 circumstances will change. You don't knowrepparttar 123454 date and neither does anyone else. But, it's there nevertheless.

So, what have you got to do till then? Wait! Waiting always lasts too long, so if waiting is inevitable, then let's wait with positive emotions. The alternative is to wait with negative emotions, but, either way, you'll wait!

Someone said to me one time, "I don't want to feel up when my circumstances are down." I know it! That's alwaysrepparttar 123455 way human nature reacts. But,repparttar 123456 facts are that it's just not healthy for you to be worried and depressed.

And, you don't have to be. You can feel good whenever you want to mentally. Your emotions are subject to whatever you feed them. So, get a good positive book and start reading it by feeding your mind with words that will charge your emotions with energy.

Here's Half The Battle!

Try this experiment: find a good positive book and only read it long enough to find a paragraph or phrase that really makes you tingle. You know; something that really relates to your current emotional state and then closerepparttar 123457 book.

Now, whatever that phrase was, sit back, close your eyes and see those very words entering your mind. Let those words hit your forehead like a Mack truck. Don't worry, they won't hurt. :>) Let those words blast inside your mind.

The More The Merrier!

Do it faster and faster. Now, let them flow all down through your body, into your legs are arms. Then do it again. If you will practice this for just five minutes, you'll getrepparttar 123458 hang of it and can use this technique anytime you want to change your emotional state.

If you decide you don't want to do it, then you need to admit you really like feelingrepparttar 123459 way you do. Don't get mad at me, but I know, I've been there.

I have used this technique hundreds of times and it changes my emotional state every time. It is truly amazing how my feelings change even though nothing has changed inrepparttar 123460 circumstances. Emotions are not subject to circumstances, but circumstances can be subject to emotions.
