From Powerless to Purposeful: Taking Control in Tough Times

Life After: From Surviving to Thriving

Adversity is a marathon that we don’t feel prepared for. When that’s the case, we have to adapt, and manage our energy to get through it. One of the reasons some adversity seems insurmountable is because it leaves us feeling powerless. We aren’t! We can still make choices. Acknowledge what’s happening, connect with and support others to keep a more positive mindset, and act! Having a plan, or nested plans, keep you focused and moving forward in the face of adversity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In order to move through adversity:

• Acknowledge
• Connect – get and give support
• Meditate
• Dance
• Plan

BEST MOMENTS

Through adversity, not only are we given opportunity to discover our inner strength, we are also given the gift of foresight so we can shine a light for others who go through the experience after us.

–Rachel Bermingham

It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life’s story will develop. –Deieter F. Uchtdorf

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others. –Dalai Lama

Perhaps the most radical act of resistance in the face of adversity is to live joyfully. –Ari Honorvar
