7 Ways to Deal with Challenges We are all faced with challenges constantly in every area of our lives.

Most peo ple have a hard time accepting and dealing with these challenges that arise. The truth is thatyou will have to deal with difficult problems throughout your life , whether it is in your personal life or career. Most of us get really afraid an drun away from problems because we don t want to accept reality the way it is. Run ning away from your problemsis the worst thing you can do to deal with the chall enges you are faced with. I have some tips for you below on learning how to deal with everydaychallenges. Start now and develop theself-discipline to practice t he below points. 1. Don t overreact- Overreacting to a problem will cause you to make bad decisions . When we are not in control of our emotions, we will make decisions that we wil l regret later. Next time you are faced with a challenge, become the watcher of your thoughts and stay calm so you can make smarter decisions. 2. Accept present moment reality- Accept the way things are and the way people a re. You have to understand that not everything is going to be the way you want i t to be. If you cannot accept reality you will feel very frustrated with your li fe. Many people will try to change someone or something that they cannot control , and when it doesn t work out for them they feel miserable.Once you can accept re ality (including the challenges that you are faced with), you will be able to be more calm and think more clearly about howto get a step further towards your go als every day. 3. Don t blame others- Many peoplemake a habit of blaming others for all their pro blems. They fail to take full responsibility for the decisions they have made in life. The more you blame others with the challenges you are faced with, the mor e you will make people dislike you and not want to be around you. The first thin g you want to do when faced with a personal challenge is not to start pointing f ingers at others. 4. Practice detachment- Make a habit of detaching yourself from any outcome. Det achment means that you are not attached to any given result in life. I remember in the past when I did public speaking and got really nervous. The reason I was fearful of public speaking was because I was too caught up thinking about what the audience was thinking of me. The fact is that there are some people that are not going to like whatyou say and others who may like whatyou have to say, ther efore your job is to accept the way people are and notget worked up emotionally and mentally over someone not liking you. When you start practicing detachment, many of your fears and insecurities will disappear. 5. Don t overanalyze- When you think too much about a situation or event that occu rred, you will start to judge everything and everyone. Whenyou think too much yo u will have a very tough time accepting reality and you will think that somethin g is not right. Overanalyzing can also cause youto not take action on your goal, whichcan make you really frustrated in the long run. 6. Accept changes in your life- You will have to deal with changes in life all the time. Many people don t likechange and they resist it because it gets them outsid e of their comfort zone. You may be unhappy or happy at certain times; however you have torealize that those two states are not permanent. You have to train yo ur mind to be at peace at all times regardless of the emotional state you experi encing. 7. Don t compare your lifestyle with others- I know it is really difficult not to compare ourselves withother people, however the more often we do that, the more frustratedwe will feel. There will be people that may have accomplished more tha n you. The key thing to remember is that you create your own story and success i n life.
