Types And Ways 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 challenges include disability involving body parts like hands, legs, spine, eyes, ears and any other part. They stop people from feeling and being normal. The first thing is to recognize that you are handicapped in a particular way. Find a wheelchair, glasses, learn sign language, use hearing aids and other enhancements that will make your situation better. Take advantage of incentives like subsidies to make it easier for you to fulfill your daily responsibilities.

Mental challenges are also likely to limit your potential in life. They include situations of depression, autism, stress, hyperactivity and any mental condition that stops you from performing normal duties. Relaxation and avoidance of triggers is one of the recommendations. A visit to a psychologist or psychiatrist is also recommended. Get into a routine and ensure that you are not facing idle time. Exercising will also save you from challenges.

Emotional challenges will hinder your success in life. With emotional maturity, you can handle very challenging situations without allowing emotions to overpower you. You will maintain a level head regardless of the adversary. Learn ways of dealing with your emotions like rage, practice forgiveness and be ready to live with people. Seek professional counseling or talk to your friends from time to time.

Do you have a problem interacting with people? This is a social adversity that can be overcome. It will be impossible to form relationships if interacting with people is a problem to you. Even a promotion at work or increasing your client base will be a problem. Practice how to interact with people and expose yourself to situations that you dread the most. Talk to a social psychologist about your situations and a solution will be found.

Financial adversaries are easy triggers of the other categories. You need to take quick action to find a solution. Acknowledge that your situation in life can change. Identify what you need to do in order to change it. It could involve taking up a job, hard work, avoiding idleness and learning certain skills. It takes persistence and personal initiative to change your current position. Learn how to save and take all opportunities that come your way.

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.

Overcoming adversaries is a mater of personal decision. You must make a commitment to change your situation. Above all, people can only help you to a certain extent and not walk the journey for you. Be courageous to begin the journey of transformation and brace yourself because it is never easy.
