Way to survive a personal crisis?

Surviving a crisis is one thing, but getting your life back after having lived through a major trauma is quite another. It’s mainly about learning to trust others and love yourself again.

You’re either making them, or life is making them for you.

Take time to think things through. Turn the problems upside- down and inside-out. Sometimes all you need is a different perspective.

Although this is usually not easy at the time when your life is falling apart.

A healthy diet will give you the stamina to persevere.

Getting enough sleep will help you cope with the day ahead.

Going on vacation may present an opportunity to see things from a different angle.

Friends and family can be a tremendous help, don’t bottle up.

Dealing with a personal crisis usually entails a lot of self-questioning.

The crisis is just a period in your life. It’ll pass away. Meditation is helpful to control your emotions and feelings during the mentally hard period of your life (human cosmos app)

Yes there you will a time in every one life, when we feel out of our control like doing and saying things that we are not supposed to act or speak.

But first thing keep in mind it's happen with everyone, we all are human, but we should accept ourselves first.

Understand your emotions when you become out of control and how you can manage it. Once you start understanding your emotions and trigger point you can work on it, it's takes time there are some activity you can try..

Seek to understand first not to be understood — understand why other before you judge them or react on their actions.

Understand you emotions — figure out what makes you angry and try to avoid.

All behavioral responses to emotion are learned, which is why they vary from person to person. If you study the biomechanics of emotion then you can install whatever behavior you want. Otherwise you are just learning other people’s suboptimal responses.

By crisis I assume you mean something sufficiently unexpected. An unexpected situation is characterized by the number of unknowns and time critical nature of the response.

Unknowns are only solved through curiosity attached to a fear emotion, which as a behavior triggers whatever solution is best, and time critical events are triggered by a drive to action attached to an anger emotion. That is part of what I have installed. Depending on the situation a number of other emotions may be involved.

Study its source, effect on me and ways to handle it. Longer it stays, more damage it will cause. Nip in the bud, if possible. Foresee its occurrence or recurrence.

Don't panic. If it will end on its own like an infection, I have to contain its damage. In other cases, I will try to diffuse it. Like everything, crisis too is temporary.

Thank you?...Most mid-life crises are identity crises — the individual starts to realize that their strategy for life isn’t producing the satisfaction or happiness that the believed would occur by pursuing that strategy.

But the strategy is really an expression of an identity — a fixed belief about who they are. For example, someone may have decided at an early age that “I’m not very smart, so I must work hard.”

?Then at age 45, after decades of hard work, they are getting fatigued chasing happiness — hard work was not enough to compensate for their feelings of being inadequate.

?They’re successful, but not whole internally. Not yet “good enough” to relax and just be themselves.

So a crisis occurs. They stop trusting that doing more of the same will be worthwhile, and without that strategy, how will their identity ever become good enough? “Who am I anyway?” starts to haunt at the edges of awareness, and fear, anxiety, a sense of meaninglessness, and despair can get a foothold.

The resolution of the crisis involves disrupting the identity — as long as you believe that you’ve correctly defined yourself, you can’t solve the crisis, because the crisis is a symptom of false identity. That identity was never true self in the first place, it just took 20 or 30 or 40 years for the illusion to wear itself out.

It’s hard for someone to acknowledge this. It’s hard to say “oh, maybe I never really knew who I was” or “maybe I’ve been faking it for a long time.” It undermines your trust in your own judgment and understanding of yourself. It makes you feel exposed and uncertain and vulnerable.

Do you want to add a word or two?....

That’s the kind of realization that has the power to crack open the armor and let in some fresh air. That’s the truth that the ego fights with, hoping to justify its illusions and keep the music playing longer.

Once someone makes peace with the realization that their identity is inauthentic, then there’s a possibility of a breakthrough into a more complete and satisfying possibility for life, with more authentic values and a more grounded understanding of self.

The truth shall set you free, but first it will sting.

Lower your expectations.

High expectations low serenity.

Low expectations high serenity.

Talking to a trusted source like a therapist or someone you trust about what is going on. Do not hold on to the trash in your head. You have to empty the garbage bin by letting your frustrations and worries and doubts and fear in an open.

Your comments........?

Focus on healing. Focus on keeping a journal and writing things down. That will be a good release mechanism and you can assess your situation later. Read something positive to get a better perspective on your life instead of watching TV and news.

I do not do that. I don't need to know what is going on in the world. I have enough to worry about at home.

Get good rest. That is very important. Do not over do it. Sometimes less is more. Less is more.

I would pray to Higher Power and ask God to help me with my issues. No matter what material possessions I acquire that does not equal peace of mind. I suggest simple life. Getting rid of what you don't have to have and focus on what you do need.

You need God and better perspective on life. Only God can get me through and positive people in my life.

Check out some support groups. There is strength in numbers.

I can hang together or hang separate. I would rather hang together and not isolate. That is the worst thing you can do.

Do not listen to the lies in your head. Your head is looking for a way out. Do not listen to it.

It is all lies and fear based.

FEAR- Face everything and recover not fear everything and run.

Self-care.?????

Set aside a lot of ME time.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.. First thing, understand something: “This too shall pass” Somehow my perspective had returned and life opened up with all the infinite possibility that every day holds. I was very glad NOT to have upended my relationship and other established areas. Do you ‘beat’ a mid life crises? ? I don’t think so, you ride it out. ? The two real choices is either (a) accept that you won’t be able to change your situation and be happy with what you have or (b) make a change. Most people just wine and complain. They keep on commenting on things they could’ve done in their past like, “Oh, I should’ve brought that restaurant instead of this one.” Maybe, instead of always looking back and regretting your decisions, maybe, just maybe look at what you have and think of how fortunate you are. For the select few that have the guts to try to make a change. Just know that most people will call you crazy. For example, my situation: I can either (a) choose to go to college on a full scholarship and be very unhappy, but my finical future would be very, very bright or (b) enlist in the marines and be very happy, but my future will be filled with darkness and uncertainty. To most people it would be a no brainer, go to college, get cash, and be happy for your opportunities. To me, however, I want more, and I am not afraid of throwing away thousands of dollars to pursue my goals and ambitions. A hard reality of life is… No matter how hard you push; No matter how much you have suffered… You will have to keep on fighting. Nothing magical is going to happen and make you content for the rest of your life… Believe me, I know that more . Be Happy. To let go of blame is one of the most empowering and most rewarding things you can do for your health, happiness, and wellbeing.
