Is Life Good: Shifting Your Perspective to Find Meaning

 

Introduction

Life can feel wonderful during smooth moments; but when challenges arise, it’s easy to see things differently. However, the way we experience life often hinges on our mindsets. 

In this post, we’ll explore how shifting your perspective, even during tough times, can help you view life with greater positivity and resilience.

You're in Control of Your Thoughts

If you're currently facing any struggles, you can take comfort in the knowledge that you can at least control how you see your struggles. By changing the way you see these struggles (for instance, by seeing them as valuable lessons instead of struggles), it'll position you to overcome and emerge as a winner.

If you  want  to  know  how   you could  take control  of   your   thoughts  and   therefore take control  of  your  mind,   you can  check out an article on lifehack.org.

Life Is...?

Life is how you make it out to be. Life is how you choose to see it. So, if you choose to see life as good despite the setbacks, etc, you're in fact rewiring your brain and thereby changing your life for the better over time.

What is Life?

Life is a gift, a precious gift.  Treasure it  because once  you lose it,  you'll not get  another chance at it. Because you only have one life...

Finding Light in the Darkness: Is Suicide the Answer to Life's Challenges?

Image
Introduction    Suicide is a topic that's close to my heart, because I'd contemplated about ending my life on numerous occasions in the past. Globally, suicide remains a silent crisis, affecting countless individuals and families. Despite the stigma, it’s crucial to have open conversations about it, especially because it often stems from mental health struggles that require understanding and compassion. How Prevalent is Suicide Globally? With over 700,000 people dying by suicide every year globally, this equates to one life lost every 40 seconds. ( https://www.who.int/health-topics/suicide#tab=tab_1 ) This number may be higher due to under-reporting caused by stigma surrounding suicide in many cultures.  ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate )  Suicide is one of the leading causes of death globally.( https://www.who.int/news/item/17-06-2021-one-in-100-deaths-is-by-suicide ) The global suicide rate is about 9 per 100,000 people, but it va...

5 Ways to Overcome Your Irrational Fears

Image
What is Fear? Fear is an emotional state that's evoked by threat of danger. And it's usually accompanied by physiological changes such as increased heart rate, as well as behavioural changes such as avoidance of fear-producing objects or situations. A certain amount of fear is necessary for our own good. That's healthy fear, as I'd like to call it. However, when it becomes irrational, it's no longer healthy and it could do us harm instead.  What is Irrational Fear?   Irrational fear is fear that isn't  situationally appropriate. In other words, it's out of proportion to the actual threat. And it can be a symptom of some mental health conditions , such as PTSD and panic disorder. According to the author of Conquering Fear, an overdose of fear can keep us perpetually tense, emotionally closed and paralysed to the point of inaction.   (Pg 24)  Do we want any of these? Obviously no, right? Therefore, it's important that we recognise signs of fear s...

How to Heal Emotional Trauma

Image
What is Trauma? Trauma is the emotional, psychological and physiological residue that results from heightened stress that accompanies experiences of threat, violence, and life-challenging events.   Types of Trauma Trauma can either be physical or emotional trauma. In the case of physical trauma, it's the result of a serious injury. There are two types of physical trauma: blunt-force trauma and penetrating trauma . In the case of emotional trauma, it can either be acute or chronic. Acute trauma is defined as "the emotional response that happens during and shortly after a single distressing event". And chronic trauma is defined as "a long-term emotional response to prolonged or repeated distressing events that span months or years" . Signs of Trauma Sometimes we may not even be aware that we're suffering from trauma. And sometimes we may think that we're healed when we're not. It could be because we've consciously or subconsciously buried it. So w...
