10 things to remember when you are going through tough times

#10 Trust yourself that whatever happens, you'll handle it.

Most people underestimate their capacity for life. They spin themselves a story that if 'that' happened, they couldn't handle it. Yet, when faced with a major life crisis or significant adversity, people discover within themselves a far greater capacity for life than they'd imagined. Rosie Batty said, "We can never underestimate the strength of the human spirit. We may feel utterly crushed but within us is a force that can rise again, even from the darkest times." Trusting yourself may not change your experiences in life, but it can change your experience of life. The more you trust that 'you've got this' the sooner you actually will.

#9 Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you.

You would not be half the person you were today if everything you'd ever wanted had gone to plan. You might not choose your current circumstances, but they hold a silent invitation for you to grow into more of the person you have within you to be. Adversity has a way of introducing us to aspects of our humanity- strengths, talents and deeper dimensions of our own being - that we couldn't access without them. So embrace those uncomfortable emotions for the opportunity they hold to learn and grow in whole new ways. Growth and comfort cannot ride the same horse. Just because an experience is hard doesn't mean it's bad. Sometimes the very worst things that ever happened to us can turn out to be the very best things.

#8 We are braver together then we can ever be alone.

Is a burden shared really a burden halved? Who can say. But it is certainly a burden lightened. Human nature being what it is, often when we are going through a tough time we feel inclined to put on a mask in withdrawal from the very people who could help us get through it better. Reaching out to others during my own moments of vulnerability lifted me up and help me move through those first few days with far more courage than I could have otherwise. So if you've been struggling, I encourage you to reach out to the people in your world who know and care about you. Confide how you're feeling. Enlist support. Asking for help is never a sign of weakness; it's a sign of courage that shows you want to be stronger.

#7 Faith doesn't remove your problems it transforms them.

We cannot connect the dots moving forward. We can only connect them looking backward. So keep faith that as messy as your situation may be right now, in the longer arch of time, the dots will connect. Having faith that God is at work doesn't remove your challenges, but it transforms your relationships to them. Daring to believe that everything will ultimately work out for the best that there will be something good in the midst of the bad will expand your ability to start to see things from a different perspective. Perhaps those storms you think that have come to disrupt your path are really just revealing it. The most valuable chapters of Our Lives often they'll get a title till much later. Keep faith and press on.

#6 It's okay not to feel okay.

If you're feeling bad about feeling bad, give yourself permission not to feel like you're on top of the world, all day everyday. You can still be a positive person and be having a tough time. All emotions are legitimate and need to be validated. Denying minimalizing and masking the different emotions that naturally arise when we face challenges doesn't make them go away. It just makes them bury deeper until they eventually get expressed in unhealthy and destructive ways. "Negative emotions are necessary for us to flourish", wrote Barbara Frederickson in her book Positivity. Just don't get stuck in them. The emotions that you don't own will own you.

#5 Nothing robs your peace of mind faster than fear. The more uncertain our future the more prone we are to turning our forecasts into Fear casts,, conjuring up a full array of imagined troubles. Yet, because our brains are wired to focus on potential loss more than potential gains, most of our fears are laden with worst case outcomes, and they never actually come to pass. So live your worry once. Focus your attention on what is in front of you today. Tomorrow, repeat. To quote mark twain, " I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened."

#4 You are bigger than your problems

As difficult as your circumstances may be, don't let them Define you or become your identity. Who you are is far beyond any external measure, situation or experience. It's not your adversities that shape who you are but who you are in the face of your adversities. Don't let your problems be your identity.

#3 no matter how bad it feels it won't feel this way forever.

Research by Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert found that people are generally pretty lousy at forecasting their feelings when they are in the middle of a tough situation. In fact in the midst of a crisis, we tend to think we will always feel that way. Not true. "It's not that things don't hurt", Gilbert says, "it's that they don't hurt quite as long or as much as we think they are going to." So, no matter how bad you feel right now, know that you will not feel this way forever. Hope is a risk that must be run.
