Mindfulness: Habits to Get Back on Track After Adversity

Inspiration

Getting back on track after something bad happens in your life can feel daunting. The important thing to remember is that you should only take on what you can handle, when you can handle it. We don’t always know the outcomes of actions we take. Sometimes things happen to us without our foreknowledge. But we can improve our lives if we’re aware of where we are and what we’re capable of. As Maya Angelou says, “I did then what I knew how to do.

5 Simple Ways to Learn How to Go With the Flow

Personal Growth, Spirit

Why go with the flow? Isn’t standing out and going against crowd mentality the smarter thing to do?

As with everything else in life, it’s all about context.

In this case, I am talking about how life “messes” with us. Like this week – I had everything all planned out so that I would be inspired and at 110% productivity. Then the San Antonio Spurs got wiped out – again – by the Golden State Warriors. Then I got news that there is a legal thing I have to deal with ASAP. Things just went downhill from there. And so did I.

Still, there were (are) moments when I remember inspiring words.

All you can do is plan to go unplanned, prepare to be unprepared, make going with the flow part of your agenda, for the most successful among us envision, plan, and prepare, but cast all aside as needed, while those who are unable to go with the flow often suffer, if they survive.
