Do you ever get frustrated with the constant life crisis that you experience? We experience a continuing increase in the price of gas that results in a high inflation rate and daily struggle?
Well, I would say I am. I felt overwhelmed by all of these challenges that I face that are preventing me from accomplishing and pursuing my goals. At some points, I felt so tired with no motivation to take one step to keep fighting. The thought that there is no hope anymore because of this experience that I have, but through self-awareness and prayer, I am slowly recovering and moving forward. I observe and acknowledge that I am going through other challenges to accomplish my goals. There are some activities that I do that get me back on track and keep me moving forward. I'll share some of this activity that might be useful to you.
Helpful ways to deal with uncontrollable.
1. Knowing the things that you can control and uncontrollable.
Have a piece of paper and write down all that you can control and all that is uncontrollable. Some of the examples of controllable are your mindset, emotions, behavior, and environment (if you have your own space, like your own house or own room). The uncontrollable are the weather, politics and economic status like inflation rate or high price of gas, other people's behaviors, other people's thoughts and mindsets, and the environment.
2. Accept the uncontrollable
Looking at that list of uncontrollable, know that you don’t have access to change and influence that is beyond your control. Not everything in life is in our hands and we choose to let go and surrender it to God. That he is in control of these things so that he may make a way that it is seen that there is no way.
3. Focus on the things that you have control with.
Enrich your daily gratitude list first thing in the morning and evening. Writing allows the brain to refocus on the blessing that is already in your life. Examine your resources and strategies to use those resources in order to continue to grow, develop and achieve your goals or dreams in life. Acknowledging your progress, whether by documenting your progress and writing the insight or learning from a mistake, will provide a sense of accomplishment. Then formulate a solution and take action while learning. As you will learn, those are the results that you are progressing toward your goals. Keep in mind what to focus on, work on it with prayers, and know that you are doing your best every day. That is one way to live meaningfully.
4. NEVER stop Praying.
As long as we live in this world, we are affected by other people’s decisions, actions, and behaviors; environmental structure; and natural disasters. It is part of this world that needs to be accepted and be at peace in knowing that in those things that we don’t have direct control, you are able to surrender it to the ones who are capable of doing the impossible. You continue to choose to live with the intention of giving love not just to yourself but also to those around you. As you also acknowledge, it is not easy to do this every day. It is an everyday challenge (spiritual battle) that we consciously decide and work out until we grow in maturity in facing and managing this challenge every day of our life. May we have the inner peace to know that in this world of chaos, you choose to live your life with love, courage, and goodness.
