Mission #4 Six Steps to Cope Better With Any Situation

COPE BETTER IN 6 STEPS.
The Adaptive and Non Adaptive Coping Thoughts is a problem solving approach and practical tool you can use to help you face adversities and challenges. You can learn and grow your resilience.

That's right.

A good resilience practice can greatly help you to adapt to life-changing and stressful situations. At the same time, encourage personal growth.

Positive emotions like gratitude, joy and peace, and negative emotions like sadness, anger and regret influence our ability to be resilient.

Therefore, adapting more positive emotions will expand your focus, thereby supporting you with more creative ways to grapple with your problems.

STEP 1 Describe a challenging situation.

What is the challenge you are facing? Write it down so you understand it clearly.

Step 2 Observe your thoughts about the situation.

Spend time alone taking stock of your thoughts and opinion about the situation you are facing. Write them down. Write down what comes up.

Step 3 Reflect on different styles of coping : active, surrender, passive, and over - control.

Do you actively take action about the situation? Do you give up hope? Do you do nothing about the situation? Are you over-bearing? What is more likely your coping style?

Step 4 Identify the coping style you are using from your thoughts.

Identify it. Write it down.

Step 5 Assess the helpfulness of your coping style.

How is your style working out for you? How is it supporting you to achieve the outcomes you desire?

Step 6 Move toward a more helpful coping style.

Make the choice that will move you towards a positive resolution and maintain good mental health and well-being. Take action. Commit to meaningful behavioural changes. Start small and be easy on yourself when you slip up. Be compassionate with yourself and others. Adapt and recover.

I support you.

My wish for you is to live an empowering life using this tool for everyday living and flourish in life.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Please leave a comment so others may be inspired by your insight.

Thank you for the pleasure of your time.

Mission #1 Your Mission of Significance, Not Perfection. My Journey

WHAT IS YOUR MISSION OF SIGNIFICANCE? What makes your struggle worth going through? What can you do today to live more intentionally, deliberately, consistently? How can you live with significance? When you honour, respect, and protect your values, you are living intentionally. But wait! You need to know what they really are. Intentional living is a lifestyle based on your conscious attempts to live according to your values and beliefs. When you determine what is important to you and WHY it is important to you and live in the space of integrity and well-being with regard to those things, you are living intentionally. Set a policy and state the reason WHY behind it. Ask yourself, what value does this bring to me? Next, create a paradigm about it. Then, align your habits and behaviors with what you want to achieve. For example: I will go to bed at 10:00 p.m. because I want to get my full 8 hours of sleep so that I can function

Mission #2 Are You A Distracted Listener?

ARE YOU EASILY DISTRACTED? There is support here. If listening is one of the best gifts we can give each other, then, why not get better at it? In fact, be great. It makes us feel heard, appreciated and valued. It encourages us that what we have to say is worthwhile. But this is no ordinary listening.

Mission #3 Your Mental Might

SILENCE YOUR NEGATIVE SELF-TALK. Alas, ..... do your automatic, intrusive, negative, looping thoughts sometimes trip you up? Are they sucking you in and unsparingly pushing you down an unending, narrow-winding stairway of uncertainty, worry, self-doubt, even fear? You feel devalued and exhausted at times, unable to escape their unwelcome presence. How can you put these unwelcome guests into perspective and effectively manage the outcomes you desire and deserve? Here are three (3) helpful, practical tips you can practice that will support your self-management style and place those controlling, negative thoughts in a less influential position in your life.
