Adversities always opens up new doors.

Medical | Research |

Its your ATTITUDE that will force you towards those doors
Be Thankful to the TOUGH TIMES for being there to make you a BETTER and STRONGER YOU.
It's your SOUL that's always with you in your journey.
Be it PROSPERITY
Be it ADVERSITIES. 

Your SOUL is your own shadow that always accompanies you irrespective of the circumstances. 
Some times you follow the shadow.
Some days shadow follows you.
It's your soul that sometimes guides you to deal with the path and sometimes follows you from behind to ensure if you are marching on the right path.
In order to achieve that your soul guides you for the correct path, 
you must learn and adopt soulful thinking.
You must learn the skill of articulating your thoughts.
So that when your soul leads you.
You can close your eyes and peacefully follow.

How do you define Adversities?

Adversities are the circumstances or the situations that goes adverse / negative or wrong in your journey.

How do you learn to cope with adversities so that they become a blessings for you?
The first reaction after any situation, that we experience or train our mind to experience - that 2,5 seconds of thought process that strikes in our mind after any situation - is the main decisive factor about how are you going to actually react to that situation.
For example : how will you react after a good news, a sad news or an adverse situation?
1. You get Angry
2. You get Anxious - Anxiety
3. You get Happy
4. You stay calm and do not react
5. You feel hurt.
etc etc.
These reactions are the outcome of those 2-5 seconds of initial thoughts that conquered your mind after that situation occurred.

So the equation goes like : 
Situation -> the immediate thought trigger for 2-5 seconds -> your reaction to the situation
Here, the middle part of the equation is key element to help you understand and cope up well with any Adverse Situation so that you can convert that as your blessings.

So now the Question : 
how do we train for the middle part of the equation - that is " the immediate 2-5 seconds thought trigger after the situation "  ? ? ? 
So its not unachievable.
But its not easy to attain too.
Steps 1 - Take all the measures to control your thoughts.
Step 2 - Take all the measures to connect with your thoughts.
Adopt all the methods to do the above 2 steps.
Think
Brainstorm
Self Talking
and MOST importantly
Focus on learning EMPATHY.
Once you attain Empathy (you can read my another blog to understand what EMPATHY is), you will lean to control your thoughts too.
We have one more important area to focus on - when we are facing Adversities.

How Adversities impacts our Immune System?

This is a very good topic for brain storming as in that case we may or may not let the Adversities impact our immunity and in turn our body metabolic rate.

Adversities & Immune system

 

Chronic adversity is associated with:

Increased expression of pro-inflammatory genes.

Reduced expression of antiviral genes..

Reduced expression of antibody synthesis genes.

 

This makes people more susceptible to disorders of chronic inflammation and less able to ward off a virus.

Gene express is different then DNA. Our DNA doesn't change but how our DNA get made into the actual cell of our body - thats the gene expression part and that can be attuned to our emotional expression. Also to our activity level & diet.

The adversity pattern helps us in this increase expression of pro-inflammatory genes and decreased expression of anti-viral antibodies synthesis.

 

IMMUNE BENEFITS IN POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

How your immune system responds to Stress and Adversities.

A regular workout results into a good muscle mass, joint flexibility and improved blood circulation.

This impacts our immune system and the stress bearing capacity improves.

This in turn trains our system to fight with Stress and Anxiety in Adverse situations.

Your immune system can register the biochemistry of your emotions and make some calibrations there.

Our EMOTIONAL WELL BEING is tied to our health therefore feeling good and positive is equally important as managing stress, eating healthy, being active.

Resilience - a way to positive mindframe.

Medical | Research | Study

Resilience:

The ability to be flexible to STAY POSITIVE in any type of negative circumstances. 

It is the ability to procure the resources that can be grown into positive state of mind.

The skill of Resilience can be developed by following  HIEC :  HOPEFUL, INSPIRED, ENGAGED,  & CONNECTED. 

How to be HOPEFUL?

Set targets in front of you.

No matter big or small.

Keep marching small small steps towards that target.

Take baby steps every day to get closer to your target.

How to stay INSPIRED ?

Staying Inspired is often a big challenge specially in negative circumstances. 

Pull in positive people in your circle.

Push out negative people from your circle. 

Fake right guidance and consultation at the right time.

How to stay ENGAGED ?

Staying DISCIPLINED  is one strong way to stay ENGAGED.

Define and set time to complete task.

Set daily targets instead of long term goals and achieve it every day.

Acquire an interesting and passionate ways to achieve daily targets.

How to stay CONNECTED 

How to look forward to the positive aspects even in a negative situation?

Showing some Gratitude.

Showing care to oneself and others.

Passion plays a big role in staying connected.

Resilience is not about sweeping away the negatives.

Its about meeting the negatives and positives.

Its about holding the POSITIVES and NEGATIVES side by side.

Therefore,  there is an upward spiral between Positive Emotions and Resilience.

WHY BEING RESILIENT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE?

Its very easy to become a person who looks at negatives as negative.
And positives as positives and strive for positivity.

So why is it important to balance the positive and negative and see both equally, at the same time stay flexible to boost up the spirits too?

A sustainable way to lead a life is to balance negatives and make them part of your life instead of flushing or sweeping them out.
This Resilient attitude comes through GRATITUDE and HOPEFULNESS.

Once we see Negatives as part of our life.
One we adopt Negatives as friendly as Positives, We start flourishing in life with a very POSITIVE attitude.

So for a RESILIENT person, POSITIVES & NEGATIVES are like TWIN brothers or their own sons/daughters. So they will keep both with equal gratitude.

This attitude of adopting Negatives in ones life, REDUCES the SORROWS and INCREASES SERENITY which in turn brings on an overall POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
