TURN ANY CRISIS INTO AN OPPORTUNITY
A lot of folks are fixated on non-resourceful states and flooding their senses with fear during this coronavirus pandemic. The key is to focus on what we can control, such as our thoughts... and lots of hand washing.
However, you are more resourceful than you can ever know. Unfortunately, most of us don't realize this until we encounter a crisis, something that brings out the best in us.
There is a method to respond and take action when life throws a curve ball.
The 5 steps are:
1: keep a cool head
2: think differently (brainstorm)
3: ignore the rules
4: anticipate (pre-mortems instead of post-mortems)
5: amor fati (love your fate)
The key is to access your resourceful states by recalling a memory of an excellent state of mind and anchoring it in the present.
You can make this switch happen instantly, within seconds, from worry to peace.
The only thing we ultimately control is our reaction to events in our lives. Kurt Koontz, A Million Steps.
