The 7 Laws of Overcoming |

Crises. We all go through many. Whether financial, personal or relationships, crises are always present in our lives. But is it really that all crises we go through are bad? Why is it, then, that after overcoming them we have a feeling of victory, of being alive, of having “successfully survived” a troubled moment?

Crises are opportunities for learning and evolution

The term crisis comes from the Greek “Krisis”, which means, in essence, “distinction, decision, sentence, judgment”. As old as the concept is, the intention of its existence seems to be more linked to a “decision period” than a bad period. And it is also interesting to see the eastern point of view, in which the term crisis, in Chinese, is represented by the combination of two symbols: one of them means “danger”, while the other means “opportunity”.

The crises we go through are usually moments of great learning, in which we have the opportunity to evolve to a level of consciousness that we didn’t have before. That is why overcoming the crisis is so important.

7 laws to overcome negative patterns

Therefore, see below the 7 laws for a healthy and lasting overcoming of your crises, whatever they may be, so that you can apply the concepts in a practical way and always be in evolution. To make it even easier, we suggest in each law some 7-day “self-challenges”, which are simple breaks of negative patterns that you put in your own life, to have smooth and evolutionary changes and to be more and more positive to overcome challenging situations .

1 – The law of discipline

Having a disciplined life is the first step to overcoming (or not even having) a crisis. We have the habit of always procrastinating jobs, responsibilities or tasks that make us get tangled up in endless problems. And this is totally connected to not having discipline. Therefore, try to put in your life, for just 7 days, a self-challenge to discipline small daily activities, such as:

“regulate how long I sleep every night” “regulate the quantity and quality of my food” “cut off any vices such as sugars, games or drinks”

Target just one of these! It doesn’t have to be everyone.

2 – The law of fun

Because we have so many activities to do every day, we tend to get immersed in a lot of things and forget to take pleasure in what we are doing. But is it always worth living a life without pleasures? Seek to find small pleasures in what you do daily. This brings a pattern of positivity into your life, by always being aligned with what you do. Try using some self-challenge for 7 days, such as:

“make a list of the activities I like to do and cross with those I currently do” “do an activity for pleasure for 30 minutes a day, at busy times (like reading a book, watching a movie or something like that)” .

The intention is to challenge yourself to put practices in order to have a little more pleasure in your life.

3 – The law of disposition

Being willing to change or go through a bad situation is not simple. But the more we practice being willing, the less crises seem monstrous to us. Once you have found pleasure in your activities, as I suggested earlier, find “motivations.” Motivation is nothing more than “motivating an action”. What is a deep reason why you do what you do today? You can then, after this question, take a self-challenge for 7 days, such as:

“be willing to do activities that I don’t like” “make a list of the deepest purposes I have for living life” “motivate myself to do small activities that I never did in my day”

Remember that self-challenges are tasks for your evolution, it is you who decide what they will be.

4 – The law of cooperation

You are not superman or wonder woman. We all have our limitations. Therefore, it is important to understand that often the resolution of a conflict or a crisis depends on the collaboration or cooperation of other people. Working on our relationships to inform about our complex situation or ask for help is always welcome, even if it is simple help or just support. To help you with this law, you can choose a self-challenge in this regard and apply it for 7 days, such as:

“make new friends” “apologize to people you hurt or hurt” “ask people close to you to help with small tasks in your day to day”

The intention is to do this without harming your relationships. Know how to respect other people’s decisions and opinions too.

5 – The law of discernment

It is also important, in order to overcome our crises, to increase our ability to discern truth from non-truth. Untruth makes us fall into traps, makes us desperate, anxious and anxious. All this because non-truth comes from within us, from the mental creations we have of the past and future of our lives. It seems that the past was better than the present, or sometimes we are afraid of what the future will be like. All this makes us see the crisis as something bigger than it really is. Practice being more neutral and avoiding snap judgments. When faced with a problem, analyze it in its true form, not enlarge it. Measure the real possibilities of solving it and how you will do it in practice. This makes us calmer and more centered to resolve the situation in the best possible way. Some good self-challenges for you to practice discernment for 7 days are:

“decrease mental or verbal judgments” “speak the truth to yourself more in all situations” “remove negative words from your vocabulary”

These are good self-challenges to practice for more than 7 days if possible.

6 – The law of learning

Everything that happens in our life generates a point of view in us – which can be positive or negative. The difference is that the positive point of view brings learning along with it. As much as we have many problems and crises, we can see what is happening in our lives as learning and then move on to a more conscious resolution. Allow yourself to learn from mistakes! Good self-challenges of this law are:

“write and observe your daily thoughts” “study more personal development”

7 – The law of conscience

Being more aware is in the here and now. We don’t need to seek consciousness outside ourselves. This means noticing more of everything that happens in your life and around you. Simply observe, without judging. Consciousness makes us contemplate and understand more why things happen in a certain way. In addition, it gives us more clarity to make decisions and act better in our lives. To do this, try to do self-challenges such as:

“meditate” “be thankful for small events in your day”

Extra help for this law

By practicing the laws and self-challenges little by little in your life, you may notice that conflicts will lessen because you are in a role of balancing and evolving more and more. After having practiced a self-challenge for 7 days, if it is already simple to do, you can change it for another one, to continue evolving at that level.
