On the journey of evolution, some are under the impression, that managing challenging life situations automatically comes with increased ease.
One may feel that their negative reactions, will immediately shift to more positive ones.
There is also a perception, that one may be able to circumvent difficult situations, with growth, a positive attitude and healthy perspective.
That is a misperception.
These real life situations continue to occur.
In fact, they may, for a time, occur with what seems to be more frequency or intensity.
The classroom has been created.
You said you were ready.. the Universe provides opportunities to learn.
Here are a few steps one can consider, that promote growth, in the midst of arduous life events.
The first step to evolving through these situations, is to
“ Stand firm in your convictions”.
Confidently stand in your purpose..committed to your journey of healing.
Ask yourself...
“ How sure am I, about what I believe in?”
“ How dedicated am I, to myself and my evolution? “
These situations serve as tests, to determine if in fact, you will waiver from your authentic truth.
Another important step in evolving through life situations is to identify and assess your triggers.
Ask yourself...
What are my triggers?
Why do I really feel triggered?
What is at the root of my feeling triggered?
Be mindful of patterns. Get to the core.
Then...
Recognize the lessons as they come.
Ask yourself...
” What is the lesson in this for me? “
“ What am I supposed to learn from this experience? ”
Pay attention to the answers that follow.
Use the lessons as opportunities and platforms for growth.
Next ...
Pay attention to the precipitating circumstances that created the stage for this event.
Ask yourself... “ How did I attract this lesson or situation into my life?”
What role did I play?
Everything we experience...we attract.
In the end, all to better ourselves.
Finally...
Get your lesson, do your work, apply your newfound knowledge, and keep it moving.
Don’t stay stuck.
Stay focused on your purpose and on your mission.
Remain grateful and humble. Realizing that all is part of a bigger plan. You are being guided.
Set new goals and keep moving forward.
When true evolution is your path, nothing can deter it.
Many blessings...
