Embrace your fate
Instructions
-
Take a breath in negative situations.
As soon as a negative situation arises, stop and take a breath. Give yourself room to respond in a thoughtful way instead of jumping straight to strong emotions. -
Resist positive visualization.
The natural reaction in any bad situation is to use positive visualization. We tend to think about how this situation could be better, which shines a light on the bad things and makes us feel worse. Try your best to avoid this and simply focus on what is happening right now. You can also use negative visualization to consider how things could be worse if you are having difficulty. -
Accept and embrace your fate.
Once you have removed the positive visualizations and you are seeing the situations as it is, you need to accept and embrace it. Let go of anything you don’t have control over and remind yourself that it is too late to change the situation now.
