Types And Tips To Overcome Adversities

By William Long


Challenges in life are for everyone and come in different forms. As human beings, the challenge is to identify, recognize and find ways to overcome adversities we face. The approach may differ from one person to the other. Even situations and resources will differ. It is the desire to surmount these challenges that will determine our rate of success.

Physical adversaries manifest in the form of disability or injuries affecting body parts like eyes, skin, ears, hands, legs and such vital organs. This leaves you incapacitated. You need to recognize the existence of such challenges and take a positive step like learning sign language, purchasing a wheel chair, procuring glasses for blind persons or hearing aids, etc. These are steps that will bring you closer to your desired position. Where you can get subsidies, take advantage of them to ease your life.

Mental challenges will hinder you from progress in life. Autism, depression, stress, hyperactivity and such mental situations should be dealt with. Learn ways of relaxation and also avoid any situation that may trigger your mental issue. A psychiatrist or psychologist will also help. A routine in life as well as exercises will help stabilize your mental situation.

Emotional challenges also exist with the potential of hindering progress in life. A mentally mature person deals with the most difficult challenges without allowing the emotions to overpower him or her. Regardless of the challenges you are facing, emotions do not intervene. Practice of forgiveness and dealing with rage will help you control your emotions. A counselor will also assist.

Socialization is also a problem for many people that must be surmounted. Inability to socialize makes it difficult for you to build strong relationships. This will cause problems at work since you cannot deal with clients, colleagues or bosses. Practice interaction techniques and have the courage to face the situations you fear the most. A social psychologist will also help you find a solution.

Financial adversaries are likely to affect all other areas. They require real action and a drastic change of lifestyle. Believe that you can do better than you are doing right now. Take a step of learning a skill that will make you employable. Persist in your search for a job and reduce your expenses to the bare minimum. Take advantage of incentives given to people in your situation and build a culture of saving.

Spiritual adversaries are likely to spill to your mental and emotional state. You might also lose on relationships and damage social life in the process. Approach spirituality issues with caution and wisdom. Do not allow it to dominate your life to the point of obsession. Know the boundaries and when they should not be crossed.

It takes intense personal will to surmount challenges in life. Be committed to change and appreciate that the process will come with a lot of discomfort. Where help is available, take advantage of it. However, you must remember that this is a personal journey that no one will take on your behalf. Believe that you can overcome and work towards that.
