When your emotional wellbeing suffers a blow, see life through the eyes of a child. One delighting in the fun of a trampoline: they bounce, flip, fall, and bounce again. Anytime you find yourself feeling helpless, see life's circumstances as cyclical, a bounce, flip, and fall away... from bouncing again. Here are a few lessons to keep you moving forward.
Stay Flexible
Life is easier when you're flexible. Angela, a dear friend, worked for a company that would eliminate her job within six months. Her entire career was focused on a specific set of skills. Instead of being fearful she became flexible. Angela spent a few hours each evening learning about real estate and appraisals. She stayed flexible and new doors opened. For your emotional wellbeing... stay flexible.
Stay Focused
One of the hardest things to do is to do less. Busy doesn't equal effective. It equals busy. As they say in Star Wars, "Stay on target," and your focused efforts will make you feel more confident and in control. You may face a problem that appears unshakable, a challenge that seems insurmountable, but know this, laser vision focus works wonders.
Stay In the Present
When your emotional wellbeing is struck, remember every difficulty is followed by ease. Every path of difficulty must end with ease. So, stay in the present. See the beauty of today. Notice what gifts lie in this moment, because in reality, it's the only moment you really own. And, when times get tough, as they sometimes do, see yourself on that trampoline: you'll bounce, flip, fall, and bounce again.
