Good day, amazing people of the Hive blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. This is another edition of the Ladies of Hive community topic. There are states of mind that arise from our way of facing what happens to us, either with resistance or acceptance. How do you face the difficult in life?

No matter your position, capacity or whoever you are, life is full of difficulties. It is in our hands to choose the way we will react to the difficult, either to handle it in a healthy way or allow it to eat us up.



Life is not a bed of roses. The difficult moments are part of life, and they make us strong. There is no human who doesn’t face difficulties in life. Life is stage by stage; at every stage, it unfolds many things, but it only takes patience to be able to face those difficult moments in life. I have experienced many difficult moments in life; believe me, it is not easy. At one point I just wished the whole challenge would end, but I have to fight and overcome such difficult moments.





Facing the difficulties of life is really challenging. You have to be patient and be able to accept any challenges that life offers. It is not always easy to fight those challenges, but accepting them will help you come up with a solution. There is no man without difficulties of life; most people face difficulties of life to the point they wish they could end their lives.

The most difficult moment of my life was the period I lost my dad. It was not easy for me to navigate the difficult moments; it was very hard for me and my family, but then I didn’t always let it eat me down. I have to accept it and hope God for a change of story.

I try my best not to overthink: it is normal for humans to think to find a solution to a problem, but the more you keep thinking about the situation, it will make you unhappy; you may end up feeling depressed and developing a sickness because of overthinking. Whenever I am facing a difficult moment, I try my possible best not to overthink; rather, I will handle the situation in a healthier way.





Self-care: I prioritise my physical and mental well-being. I never allow my challenges to take away my joy. I engage in activities that give me joy, such as hanging out with friends, exercising and eating healthy. Taking care of myself will help me to think less of the difficulty I am facing.





Accept: I have learnt to accept whatever difficulty comes my way. I don’t stress myself thinking over things I know that I can’t solve at the moment; I accept it and hope for better days.





As far as you are alive, difficulties of life are inevitable, but you should try your best to face those challenges; don’t allow it to take away your joy.
