We all have seen ups and downs in life. They are part and parcel of life.

Most of us know how to navigate when things are going our way, but struggle when they are not.

We all need tools and habits in place which will help us sail through the most turbulent situations.

If we are able to develop habits which will really help us in our worst periods in life, then it can become super powerful and helpful in our journey of life.

I learnt them very late in life, but I want you to take a note of these habits and practice them as diligently as you can.

Once they become normal for you to practice these habits then believe me, you will be much better off  when life throws challenges and difficulties. 

Some of these habits are:

• Seeking support from others: There is absolutely no harm in asking for help when you really need it.

Even the smartest people need help occasionally be it for personal or professional reasons.

You have to overcome your ego and reach out to seek help and you will be surprised to see how much willing people are to help you and you can return the favor when time comes.

This habit may seriously help you overcome major roadblocks in your journey to success. 

• Practice gratitude: This is an universal truth. You will read this everywhere but unless you start to practice this you wont see how satisfying your life becomes.

You will find the universe is reciprocating your gratefulness will multitude of luck and blessings.

• Be ready and embrace ‘changes’ or accept the new reality: Change is inevitable in my life in your life and in everyone’s life.

Embracing and accepting this fact and start to act accordingly will only work in your favor.

• Practice ‘self-care’ and ‘self love’: This is most neglected fact we all should practice this.

This doesn’t mean that we have to develop big ego but rather be our own best friend and embrace our uniqueness in every possible way. 

• Hold onto optimism and hopefulness: There is no hope and gain in life without hopefulness.

You have no other choice but to be hopeful and optimistic and expect the best outcome.

Ofcourse you may have to be prepared for the worst but surely you want to expect to see more of positive than negative outcomes coming your way.

• Staying in the present (mindfulness) and keeping a solution mindset: There is no point regretting or repenting over the past nor wasting time anxiously thinking about unseen future.

The smartest thing you can do is to stay in present and deal with what you are facing currently in life. 

The more you can focus on the ‘now’, the more actions you can put into making the ‘future’ better. That’s the way it goes. 

• Above all – believe in yourself at all costs: If you don’t believe in yourself nobody else will do.

So start to believe in yourself. You can move mountains and attract miracles by believing in yourself.
