How to Survive and Rebuild

The Survive & Rebuild Challenge.

Many people today are demonstrating amazing courage in the face of very basic survive and rebuild challenges. Why do some survive, and others just give up? It seems to be something  special in their mental outlook.

What is a “mental outlook?” It’s the mental window we  look out through to view what’s happening in our life.

Dealing With Challenges to Survive and Rebuild

Most of us are facing one challenge or another today. These are NOT easy times. And the stress of hard times can have a powerful effect on our mental outlook: If you feel worried about something, your brain is then wired to give any related event a worried evaluation.

And although our feelings are fleeting, our moods are not. Moods are based on a brain-level accumulation of feelings that have been stored on actual physical neural networks.

So if you are in a worried about your ability to survive and rebuild, you will tend to have anxious feelings. Anxious feelings, in turn, color your evaluations of your options. This is actually brain-based and a negative evaluation of a new event will just further strengthen the anxious feeling. This new negative feeling, in turn, helps maintain your worried mood.

This creates a non-productive vicious cycle that will build strength unless broken. Generally such cycles are best broken by changing your feelings, which will in turn change your mood.

Changing a Non-Productive Mood

How to break up such a cycle? One good way to start is to really FOCUS on finding a solution to just ONE of the problems you face. Do not even try to tackle all of it at once — this can just lead to overwhelm, and even more anxiety.

Once you identify one problem you want to solve, allow yourself to sort through your options and actually pick one possible solution.

Avoid fence sitting. If you feel a afraid of making a mistake, look at it this way:  The sooner you focus and take action, the sooner you will learn from any mistake, and can then take a new corrective action.

Life has its challenges — that IS a given. But obviously you have already survived some challenges to get where you are today — and can likewise rise above your current challenges.

The truth is this: You have the ability to re-create any thought patterns that might be holding you back.

Seize the moment to survive, rebuild, focus, and just go for it.
