5 Questions to Guide You Through Tough Times - How to Get Through Problems & Struggles

Show Notes:
Emotion, emotion, emotion. That was my whole thing when I had to deal with a sucky situation. It’s because I never learned how to properly regulate my emotions. So, whether it was someone going after my family (despite the hot mess it was), my friends or me, I was ready to fight. And I could fight really well with my emotions. It was my stronger weapon. I used to (proudly, sadly) tell a story on how I made a boy cry in elementary school, on purpose, because he was saying rude things to others. I had a low tolerance for that stuff back then.

I feel like I have a low tolerance now, but I don’t just jump for the throat right away. It’s a slow dance, sometimes, when you need to confront someone or deal with a situation. Not as energy surging as when I was younger & living high on adrenalin and rage emotions. But, it’s better.

The processing questions we are going to chat about today will help you get through your problems & struggles in a way that doesn’t avoid anything, doesn’t find us running to our comfort zone and helps us keep our mindset right. It’s going to be really clutch in those times when all we want to do is spiral.

And spiraling isn’t what we want to do. We want to better understand why we are having the emotions and reactions/responses to the situation that we are and consciously decide to shift our mindset to a better place. The better place is where you feel like you are winning and making progress over no longer allowing your emotions to control the situation and having a better balance of embracing your feelings and making the best decision on how to move forward.

Let’s get into the questions you can ask yourself when you are really going through it. When it feels like everything sucks and you’re not sure what to do and honestly just want to run away.

Here are 5 Questions to Ask Yourself to Work Through Your Struggles & Problems:

1. Should I invest deeply in this situation or just walk away?
2. What do I need to take responsibility for?
3. What can I actually do that is within my control that will benefit this situation?
4. What can I learn from this experience?
5. What do I need to do to make sure my mindset is right & I’m confident to move forward?
