A Challenge
Check Out! – Faced With – Part Deux
Do you find you inner warrior and whip out a can of whoop arse? OR Do you go inside yourself to deal? I sometimes think of stress as a test and a test to your body, mind and spirit, especially your emotions. Every test is different and sometimes you say “What now? Really?”!
I know I say this! Then I assess the situation and decide on a plan of attack as to how to deal and react. Sometimes it just plain sucks and feels like you are having an out of body experience. I know I feel this way at times! Sometimes my mind goes to the extreme and takes me right to the very edge!

Choose To Be a Warrior
“Be the heroine of your life, not the victim.” ~ Nora Ephron
How do you strengthen your coping skills muscle?
I know I take certain challenges/situations personal because I feel as if someone is trying to be hurtful towards me. Then other times I want to strike back and be just as hurtful. That is not a great reaction to have and is really uncool! Your reaction will make a difference in how long it takes to recover and move forward.
YOU have the POWER to CHANGE Things for the BETTER!
Is it possible that this just might change your life for the better or open new doors for you?
I realize that at times you have NO CONTROL over what happens in your life! However, how you handle and react to the challenge is UP TO YOU! Think in terms of a “Temporary Setback”! Think POSITIVE not NEGATIVE!

Easier said than done, but for the most part, I too prefer to be the architect of my own destiny

I have to agree with you – sometimes like trial and error or figuring it out as you go.

This is a tough one Renee. Learning how to cope with difficulties in a diplomatic way takes a long of strength, courage and objectivity. It’s a really troubling situation, I’ll internalize it and let things cool down before taking any action.
