Obstacles to Opportunties.

We've all heard the phrases...
💭Use the difficulty
💭Find the positive
💭Every cloud has a silver lining
💭What can I learn from this

Etc. etc.

Basically they are all the same.

The point is that the problem is rarely the problem.

The problem is how you are thinking about the problem.

Say that after a couple shandies!

In it's rawest form, the mindset of one of resilience to setbacks, change, challenge and adversity.

The faster we can move from clouding our thoughts with the obstacle and move to the opportunities it presents the more positivity we can maintain in our lives.

This is a skill, and it's a simple process to learn it.

The challenge is the speed at which you can do steps 2&3, those are the sticking points.

I love this idea of 2 dials.
Dial 1 = Intensity
Dial 2 = Duration

How big of a problem is this compared to the biggest issues you have ever faced? Put it into a wider context.

How long do you want to hold onto this for? How will you feel about this in a day, week, month or year?

Then consider how you can dial each of these down just one click.

Start challenging your mindset.

Train it and become resilient to the everyday stressors of your life.
