Overcome adversity – Recognize adversity
It’s a fact that some people who ignore adversity tend to find difficulties that increase and make situations uncontrollable.
Admitting the problem is not a sign of weakness or shame. On the contrary, it’s the first step to overcome adversity.

Analyze the complexity of the situation
Analyzing adversity can make you understand the source of the problem and also find ways to solve it. It can make you understand how the fights in the relationship started, the reason for instability at work or where you lost your way with finances.
In addition, it’s really important to do a self-assessment to try to avoid face same problems in the future.

Think before act
Acting “hotheaded” can make the problem worse and make situations even more difficult to fix. Thus, breathing and reflecting are important actions that can help you overcome adversity in professional and personal relationships.

Overcome adversity – Be persistent
Many end up giving up in the face of the first difficulty, whether at work, studies or in love. Life is not a mathematical formula and some things may not go as planned. Therefore, persistence is essential for your projects to have an expected ending.

Be creative to overcome adversity
Contrary to what some think, creativity is not a tool that should be used only in the workplace. Seeking creative solutions in personal life is also important.
Sometimes, we face adversity precisely because we stop looking away (thinking outside the box) and see that some different actions could make a positive difference.

Rely on family and friends
Suffering alone is the worst thing that can happen. One of the best ways is to share adversity with someone in the family or with a friend. They can give an external and differentiated look at the situation, which can be important to overcome adversity.
In addition, when they know what is going on, the tendency is for them to be more attentive and start supporting ourselves.

Seek professional support to overcome adversity
A psychologist is someone prepared to deal with situations of adversity. Seeking the assistance of a professional is not a sign of weakness, it’s a very important step, not only when the person is already helpless, but also when making difficult decisions.
Keep in mind that, in many moments, you will question your own abilities and think that there is no solution to the adversity you are facing.
But when you understand your mistakes you start to understand what you shouldn’t do. When you understand what you shouldn’t do, you also understand what you should do, that is, what skills you need to develop to grow and what attitudes you should start taking from now on.
