I find my strength in God. Through prayer and gratitude, I recognize that God is and has always been there with me. Making a gratitude list for everything I've already been through, knowing that with God by my side, everything is a blessing in disguise. Thank you, Jay. As always, you are an amazing soul. 💖🌈😘

"They buried us but they didn't know we where seeds" 💕💕💕

[@patriciaking7892]

Yes, yes, yes, yes,yes! Love that philosophy.

[@kathleencruise145]

Iam 70 and have been through some very difficult times in my life but every morning.before putting my feet on.the ground I.say this little pray.....Lord help me to remember that nothing is going.to.happen to me today that YOU and I together can't handle...it has really helped me over all these years...God bless you all xxxxxx

[@ioneliabuzatu5019]

1) It is OK to be the way you feel, accept it, honour it; 2) Look for examples in the human history; 3) Change the story you tell yourself; 4) Find an uplifting community; 5) Focus on what you can learn from the situation; 6) Be that change, embody that change . Thank you Jay for those points!

[@sohaibahmed226]

Good tips especially having a community

[@cathybousquet2796]

I look at it as a lesson or an experience I need to grow to use or share in the future. I give it to God and then spend time with friends who love me.

[@kaylabennett1530]

But its soooooo hard😭

[@cpr-crush7088]

-Don't fight the feelings stewing up. Feel it out. -During my positive moments I have jacked up a list of items that I am grateful for in my journal along with other motivating concepts. When I feel distressed, I read these out loud and repeatedly. - I pretend that someone else has the burden that I am having, and I give out advise to that "person" hence giving myself wise solutions.

[@kellyholcomb3940]

I love to lay in bed in the perfect silence and think of all the things I am blessed with and grateful for. That's how I get through difficult times.❤️

[@hananyasin2847]

I seek guidance and comfort from God . I keep on repeating these words "This too shall pass"

[@JurayinaMabin]

Me too

[@cuwin085]

in difficult times, I pray and I find peace knowing that God will take care of me!

[@dianabigbec82]

i pray too

[@cillecab1663]

Yes that is so important over anything else..is to pray:)

[@idioticgenius7853]

Doesn't work for an atheist like me

[@blessyt1607]

I pray to God.

[@TheFiestyhick]

Lovely

[@Edgeducks]

Self care! Take a breath, focus on solutions!! There are always others in a worse position than I am. Practice gratitude. 🤗💗

[@Manifest_yourself_daily]

Very good

[@darrensings3494]

Cheers. What helps you when your stuck ?

[@nathanboklage4707]

In difficult times , just remember these three things . 1.) The law of relativity - just remember when you think you had it bad or your life is in a difficult situation , there's always someone out there with more problems, fewer solutions (also some people just died that same moment you felt like your life sucked) 2.) Use that energy on something productive towards your career and happiness it can be anything from art, music , film , school , fitness, relationships anything! Just make sure you take a step towards your future! For me personally I use that energy towards working out and learning astrology and life advice from all kinds of youtubers ( such as jay shetty, ralph smart, elliot hulse, etc. )since my dream is to be a life coach ! 3.) Realize that all pain is literally an illusion created by society, its all mental if its not harming you physically it literally doesnt exist ! So just don't worry about it cause its self inflicted in that case! Hope someone can read this but more importantly hopefully someone can apply this! Peace for all

[@eveynj1881]

Thanks you instantly changed my thinking thanks and happy 2020

[@nathanboklage4707]

Evey NJ I’m glad to have helped !! That makes me happy 👌🙏

[@nathanboklage4707]

Mithilesh Sedwal thank you 😊

[@alexhanna3857]

experiencing trauma is real pain and it’s not physical.

[@citahumphrey8898]

it is written in the bible Ask, Seek and Pray. I pray to God.. I ask God for strength.. I wake up every morning, God give me strength to walk along my path, Father I'm not asking for an easy path but strength along the path...

[@amberleeguerin2284]

Cita Humphrey beautifully said.

[@RaineRivers67]

Yes absolutely ❤️

[@yvonnedelories4780]

Aaaaaamen!

[@yvonnedelories4780]

This was so beautiful to read so I'm gonna share it with a friend who is going through. THANKS

[@nancyrobbins1114]

Cita Humphrey I agree. I find bible passages,to help me cope. I contact the people I love, I workout, I listen to music. It’s sad, but always ok to be on the down side.

[@itsvicious6116]

August 10th 2017 I let go of everything. Literally everything. April 2017 my bestfriend died at age 32. May 2017 I broke my hand and required surgery. June 2017 I went through a breakup. August 2017 i could no longer afford my apartment. I let go of everything. Literally. I didnt know what to do. I knew i couldnt do the "same old thing" so i atarted researching relationships, from there i found my faith, then i found impact therory, from there i found Jay Shetty, from there i found Mel robbins, tony robbins, eric thomas, all these motivational speakers. From there i found my passion. I found strength. It takes time. Just like a job. Put hours in and get paid. Put hours into your life you will be paid.

[@issadiawara38]

Its Vicious bravery

[@mts554]

Recently everything in my life was falling apart after been told the cancer had returned, I was in a financial “tsunami”, problems with the benefits which were causing so much stress and affecting my health emotionally, (I thought of committing subside)...later diagnosed with depression...after long term sleep deprivation due to all that was happening, I still had the will to be here, to be alive so decided to look for something that would work for me and that was disconnecting from all belief systems, I was alone, and the only one who could help was myself so I decided to take responsibility for everything that was happening. I’ve asked myself what is in my power to change and what is that is controlled by others? Some days I would put music and dance on my room for hours while doing other things. I started following and facing each problem and within days some of the issues I had were been sorted... I’ve learned with this I have to change in order to keep the cancer away. So dancing, disconnecting with certain beliefs and taking responsibility for all acts that we can control, get family support and love yourself. I have to say disconnecting from friendships who are not beneficial, even if that means not having friends anymore it’s a blessing that many don’t understand...

[@lindavezina6224]

So very well said. You said it all.

[@matphillips5639]

I lost my mum... And I suffer depression and I have attempted to take my life more than once.... And I still feel now and then... Like I want to leave.... But my strength when mam was in her final moments was so so strong.. That I was given the clarity of my strength... Its kept me alive..... Please know you have so much strength.... And the darkness will not always be over u x

[@hayleylapping1180]

Meditation was good for me.

[@sambitpatnaik5059]

Proud of you!

[@melissapatterson864]

In difficult times I pray, watch videos such as yours Jay Shetty, sit in church, write in my journal.

[@noahbelle1368]

“What defines us as humans is how we react to situations rather than the situations that defines us”. Therefore I see difficult situations as an opportunity to overcome the bad and become better and better by learning from my mistakes and learning from them:

[@jenniferconsiglio7143]

I've experienced many challenges in my life and have always been able to over come them. I believe in having faith and I try to tell myself that it's happening for a reason. It's a learning experience and it's helping me to grow. It's also brought me closer to god and I make it a point to listen to inspirational videos and podcasts daily.

[@sandravukasinovic7779]

Work on myself (physically, emotionally, spiritually) and be around people who love me and don't judge me. Because one day it will get better and I don't wanna remember these days as days I wasted feeling sorry for myself instead of pushing forward: )

[@chaynikachitrak6506]

Sandra Vukasinovic thank you, it really helped. :)

[@ashlen10111]

Sandra Vukasinovic it’s ok to remember these days. Remember these days will make you stronger. They will keep you moving forward. Stay strong my dear ❤️

[@franmcginley8438]

In difficult times…there is always the hope that a new day will bring clarity, acceptance and learning that propels you forward.

[@edwardsawicki2563]

In difficult and in good times I focus on my morning routine. Consistently focus on the abundance in my life. I wake up at 515am every day and do the following: 1. Read - Normally a self help, business, or book by a great leader 2. Affirmations - I keep a daily affirmations journal 3. Meditation - I mix it up and do guided meditations to clear out negativity and focus on prosperity and abundance 4. Visualization - I visualize my future and me overcoming any and all obstacles 5. Journaling - I keep a daily journal that I write in every morning 6. Exercise - Consists of CrossFit, running, and yoga (CrossFit MWF, running 3-4 miles Tues/Thurs, and yoga on Sat/Sun) I started this 3 years ago and it has transformed my life in remarkable ways. I'm calmer, more at ease, and can see the change in all of my relationships. Staying grounded with this routine helps me face difficulty with a lot more ease than I had done in the past. Keep up the great work Jay!! I love your work!!

[@missjade2940]

I'm going to start this routine. Thank you for sharing

[@henriettejohannessen853]

Well done!

[@henriettejohannessen853]

Thats what i should be doing

[@jessicablack300]

Great job Edward!! Congratulations on focusing on self love and positivity. Thank you for sharing your routine and experiences. I am happy that you found what helps you to live a more fulfilled, happy, healthy life. I know you have given others much hope, courage,and inspiration by sharing your plan. It can be used as a guide for those who may not know what to do or where to start , a place to begin on their own path to self love etc. Thank you. Keep up the good/hard work💪. You are worth it✌️🤟🌞

[@reenasingh-id9zh]

How much time you spend every morning doing this .

[@joyfulk1800]

Serving others and being in gratitude.

[@shreyasaranathan7849]

I like going to the gym to give me a fresh mindset. Sometimes if I’m sitting around with my thoughts all day, it drives me crazy. I like to burn off some sweat

[@susanthomas7659]

In difficult times I read the Psalms , written so many years ago, God is my rock and refuge

[@dollieunsudimi6889]

Many preachers do not speak this kind of truth. Mind blowing!!!!

[@lovezenbliss8487]

How do I feel? I'm anxious and on edge. I feel lonely, used and unloved. I am unfulfilled, but afraid or even too lazy to go after my dreams. I sell my dreams short and I view myself as less than. How do I want to feel? I will have peace of mind and spirit. I will live in my passion. I will recognize my light. I will not settle. Period. What can I learn? I will learn how to love myself better. To talk to myself lovingly. To recognize and understand my worth. I will find my voice. What can I do? More than what I'm doing currently. I will continue listening to motivational speeches. I will read books to broaden my views. I will write down my goals like a blueprint. I will stop being afraid.

[@MsLinda165]

Hey there...how did it go? Are you better? It's the lockdown now...how have you emerged from that?

[@SAZCHAMBO]

It takes time....I crumble initially but then I build myself back up piece by piece....breakdown leads to breakthrough ♥️

[@DMG5588]

I do the same 🙂

[@missjade2940]

Same

[@patriciaking7892]

Amen sista! Amen!

[@luella8045]

When I am sad or going through a difficult time I like to volunteer, it makes me realize my problems aren’t that bad

[@mariesavannah2369]

Good presentation specially for those who has no knowledge of God how i overcome my darkest time was through prayer because I have a lot of experience with my lord and savior I dont know what i will do without him and i have learn so much through my trial that has change my life completely i am more loving and caring and I find out that my trials is a blessing in disguise because of what i went through now the lord is using me to help others and its exciting the best way to overcome is to help someone else with their problem and you dont have time to dwell on your own keep up the good work brother i really love the quote from Martin Luther king, knowledge is power if he overcame so can we and God is his wisdom will never let give us more than we can bear that promise has keep me going all the time

[@SatorisWorldofCards]

I remember that difficult times, just mad me stronger and that I have survived so many difficult times before, so i will also find the strength to survive this one.

[@aditipatel1830]

bestt

[@gsplover2037]

Pray, have gratitude for what good is in my life, spend time in nature and with my animals..

[@patriciaking7892]

This works for me, and it does work if you work it. Thanks for sharing.

[@massuddahpeerbaye4273]

in difficult times, i think of my late Mother, My Little Daughter and God... and all the difficult moments we have overcomed!!!

[@322chappers]

I just don't want you to stop talking, you make so much sense, I always have a notebook to hand, I am going to make so many changes starting today, thank you Shetty for your wisdom, for your time & your genuine self xx

[@nooralwawi6705]

In difficult times, I pray, read Quran and meditate in what I read, I feel after that, I became powerful, more optimistic , have the opportunity to overcome what I'm complaining from and go ahead

[@Majnun74]

In difficult times I use the Alan Watts method of “don’t let your left hand know what the right is doing.” There is a way to secretly work yourself out of a struggle without knowing you’re doing it. I am also a record Collector! (I’ve got a few of those records on the wall behind this fellow). The music of Popol Vuh has been a GREAT source of comfort for me.

[@robinhebert6305]

I pray, pray, and pray till my pain is relieved.

[@OrualMuse]

I spend time in nature with my pets or observe other animals. I sit there, breath and observe, at some point i start to feel like im part of something bigger than myself and there is not an "I am" anymore, it is liberating, kind of a magic moment. Try to memorize those moments, feeling, the light, etc to replay the experience in my mind when need it. I also listen inspirational audiobooks when commuting and keep telling myself "everything pass, the good and the bad, nothing is forever and this will also go away"

[@swatisajeekumar6877]

I tell myself, that it's just this one day after which I will again have a happy day. It's just this one day, and I need to pass this day like a brave girl. Also keeping myself busy with work or friends helps me a lot during tough days, because it subconsciously makes me forget what I was going through. Staying alone in my room is a big NO during such days.

[@jasonlendrose]

I'm trying that, but am in the process of working with someone I still very much love, to reconnect. So its day to day and its rough, but I know if we can get through this intial phase we can establish that connection and it will have been worth the "worry". We both still have strong feelings for each other even years later after no contact. But it is certainly stressing when other areas of your life are imposing needless addtional stresses and anxiety into your life.

[@caridadcorte178]

I find strength talking to God ! I feel safe with Him in my life ! I pray and meditate .

[@babalwanonjaba9627]

Caridad Corte I wish I can have that energy right now...I believe in God but am tired to tell myself that am strong

[@snehadevlukia6312]

Love has carried me through the most difficult times in my life - I am grateful to be loved and to love

[@luannecates8481]

Love without conditions is what is needed. Not emotional, physical or sentimental love but love that is caring about others not expecting anything in return.

[@melodyxu4382]

In difficult times, I pray and talk to friends. I also watch motivational videos and write a list of my accomplishments and qualities I like about myself. I practice self compassion and help someone else out.

[@damiongordon6551]

I'm ALWAYS so inspired by you Jay Shetty

[@fayruzenoor1978]

[@tehiladouer7264]

I know that I'm the hands of God , I know he created me with love , and he have mission for me that I'm capable to fulfill, and he is waiting for me and watching me every day. p.s. it felt really good to write it down ,it made it clearer ,Thank you .

[@debiwebi65]

My strength truly comes from above. I pray on my knees until I find peace and the power to face my trials. God has so many promises for His children. I am fortunate to have Him to turn to.

[@cherbear977]

My strength comes from inspirational speaker such as yourself. Praying to God, Meditation, tarot, self help books and reaching out to others

[@cece7153]

I look at affirmations, I meditate, I play relaxing music, and I pray 👌

[@christaliapantazidou8039]

In hard times , i seek God and God seeks me.! So this is a wonderful outcome on its own , because i realise what i already know. I need these tough times to get closer to my creator who always is there for me and i tent to forget this. So i pray , and im open to Him with all my heart , trust that everything happens for my good sake and nothing can harm myself. Strugles are there to help us grow not to hurt us. And yes , when you filling your heart with this LOVE then everything changes. xxx

[@rosegarden0988]

Who needs tough time...too much struggles in life, who needs them!

[@soniavirdee1791]

I tell myself nothing is permanent, and I should focus on what good can occur in future then my present situation🍃✨

[@7beautifully_flawed797]

I count my blessings not my failings or all the negativity. I think of my children, I show them how to stay strong I never give up. I get support from my friends, drawing and painting, by writing and play piano, listen to music. I cry let it and remind it’s not always going to be like this, that life has ups and downs. I try to calm my mind and be gentle and kind to myself. I look at others in my situation see what they did.

[@TMcGlynn23]

When I was sleeping 8n my car I wouldn't admit I was homeless even though I dreaded it. I always told myself it's just the situation and everything will work out and boy it did. Now 4 years later I'm at a hard point and I'm keeping it's positive

[@jodistarr89]

T McGlynn Wow, you are strong!! My prayers are with you, may your situation get better

[@JjBianca]

I'm going thought difficult time too. Stay strong and have faith!

[@NevilledeAngelou]

Stand strong. Stay tall, my friend.

[@n.d8001]

I listen to Eckart Tolle. He removes my darkness with his words. I live in the present moment.

[@bossqueensummer5804]

In difficult times, I pray a lot and say thank you to God for another opportunity for strength and growth. Also, talking to a friend or my spouse is a good therapy also.

[@taylorpresley8602]

Realizing that things change constantly. I pray and seek guidance from successful people.

[@marylynnnamoc1147]

Me, I just cried and cried, sometimes lock myself in my room until I'm feel better, I prefer to be alone.

[@patriciaking7892]

Me too!

[@josephinedinger9435]

Me too girl

[@nancyleiper9307]

Me too

[@shyamsundharmuruganantham8870]

people always bug me telling not to be alone. i need some time to be alone so that i can feel better. this comment really helped me so now i know that i can take some time to be alone and there is nothing wrong about it.

[@pinchuap]

Me too!

[@msshasha89]

Meditate Music Positive affirmation Workout Get in-tune with nature Talk with someone

[@lisameeting5837]

Praying and talking to God is how I find strength in difficult times. That's what has helped me time and time again. Recently, also talking and sharing with others who have experienced or have good knowledge of what I'm going through.

[@lisedumais2030]

I am praying for you to regain all your strength, you are so awesome in helping so many people with your encouragement, on your podcast ❤

[@sabah4123]

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Don't just rely on yr own understanding. 🤲🇦🇺

[@yogendrayadav6452]

in difficult time just go through motivational videos.. and apply the lectures into my own personal life... hopefully your vedios are always right and hopefully i always overcome from that situation

[@lindaesquivel5618]

I always go into my room basically “ Be Still & Wait on GOD” I pray ask for wisdom & strength try to watch my demeanor that I don’t take my moods out on anyone so being able to get on internet like sites of Jay Shetty self-help on You tube has brought me out of my dark times! Thank You Jay Shetty! Stephanie Esquivel in San Jose CA.

[@tasfiakhan5726]

In difficult times,I feel grateful for having myself by my side, I feel grateful that I can feel my difficulties, as so many people,child,in this world are suffering from autism,cancers and so many dangerous, unhappy things. I feel grateful.

[@sabrinalovedaniel4]

I pray and I also think of all the others people who are in worst situations. I think about my 2 kids who needs me.I take some time and just keep saying it's temporary.

[@jodistarr89]

Karen Allard it is! Bless you and your babies. Being a mother is the hardest job on the planet, with tje best rewards.😊

[@paatusiriki]

Every failure in life is a lesson learnt.

[@jetlabrador]

I look back at hard times in the past, what I learned and how I got through them. First, I allow myself to feel those negative feelings. Then I’ll meditate, rely on friends and family, intense exercise and force myself to do the things I enjoy. Eventually the hard times pass and I’m a stronger person on the other side.

[@chadlilly4937]

I literally turn off the thought of the difficulties and realize that no matter how much I stress or worry what has happened is and will be will be. I let go and help others that need it and in return by helping others I find the answers or at least a start to handle and cope with the difficulties!

[@serenabliss3419]

I pray and give it to God in difficult times.

[@aimeedawnpritchard6259]

For me, finding something within myself to forgive others who've treated me terribly and move on, had been nonexistant. But after my son passed away last year, I've been more empathetic and forgiving. It's taken time but I'm starting to find a good balance.

[@aimeedawnpritchard6259]

Honestly, I'm still hurting really badly but I find helping others had helped me more than anything.

[@tshringuden3034]

In my difficult times,I focus and meditate....and most probably think of my father who have struggled to educate us....I often remember my father wearing only one pair of slipper n a trouser to feed us and sent us to school...His sacrifice for us is a great pillar during my down time....I can't afford to be feeble and give up easily.....remember your parents struggle and you will realise that it's not worth it to focus on your struggles one...look for road which will bring inner strength and focus on purpose in life that will shape you as a good human being....Have a great day ahead.

[@leilakotori]

I meditate or head to the beach, surround myself with calming nature of the sea really helps to give me a different perspective

[@quettapower3359]

I love this man

[@reshmaabraham8156]

Accept the situation and everything will come in to place.just do it.Right now I am going through this.This helped me a lot

[@satwikgoud7433]

I just relax and give it time, time is the best healer

[@gai537]

This is my process usually, check my own thoughts and inner voice, be aware of negative self talk, pray more, talk to different people and watch different videos and Jay Shetty's videos definitely one of my top favorite!

[@breannemcdowell389]

I’m 38 years old. I have dealt and carried the baggage of my broken childhood of horrible sexual abuse throughout my life. Many therapists and I have finally got to the point that I’m strong and a survivor. I have been able to face myself and bad choices that I have made in my life. I’m resilient and when I came to realize that I was choosing to live in my past and be that abused child that I lived in a state of survival. What made me now be able to walk through the darkness and to release the anger and the hate was to discover love, humbling and unconditional love. To live in the past that damaged me as a innocent child I had to become a forgiving adult. The anger I was holding was killing me physically and mentally but the ability to love from the heart has given me the ability to not fear forward and trust the source to help someone else.

[@silvermusic3124]

I go under a tree and listen to music on a sunny day. with a lot of wind blowing, and forget every thing around me.

[@jovan7618]

Music King that sounds like it works

[@codenamezero7357]

That definitely helps me :)

[@oliviapena4986]

I find strength in confining with my circle of close friends, that can give me an ear to listen to or at times a harsh advise.

[@NataliaYaneva]

In a difficult time I'm trying to remember that it won't be always like this. Also to be grateful that you are still breathing, seeing, walking. The difficult time makes us what we are and shows us what we are capable of...

[@didiahmed5714]

I always say to myself that this ordeal won’t last , I start to think of the good things that I still have, I start to thank god for all that blessings. I start to help others and impact others in a good way, giving love and care always heals my pain. Making others happy always makes me feel happy. It is contagious..

[@thejazzi1780]

I have to pray. Usually when I go thru my hardest times is because my blessings are right there.

[@patriciaking7892]

Janet Davis and you know it. It's like that for me all the time. Thanks for sharing. We're not alone.

[@hsjsjsjw6789]

During stuggle , I'll cry... Immediately next is I talk to my self "I can do it, just do it damn it" and I'll wipe my tears, keep move forward !!!

[@DesiGirl0713]

Thank you Jay! These are great reminders for what the world is facing today. What helps me during fearful times, grieving and heartbreak, I pray, read God's promises in the Bible, listen to worship music and most importantly I love on those in need. By helping others, I find my own healing. 😊

[@nitagerman]

I teach LineDance to Oldies, Upbeat, Fun & Inspiring Music to Seniors. Brighten their Day, their week, make them smile & laugh & feel joy thru music & dance. It has become a support group for them with wonderful friendships, they come visit class sometimes, even after they are no longer physically able to Dance.... LUV your videos Jay Shetty...going to share them with my Sons ! Thank You for your special way of spreading Inspiration !

[@patgavros3492]

I make a list of goals of where I want to be instead of in those difficult times. What is my end goal? What are the steps I can take to extricate myself from this difficulty, emotional pain, financial hardship, etc. Then I actively progress through those steps. This gives me a sense of being in control of my destiny and NOT a victim. I embrace the pain of the challenge, but don't let it deactivate the process.

[@nainakhan2911]

I only know one thing that life without struggles is not what we call life. Success taste better when we struggle and face our challanges. I always think that everything happens for a good cause. Not now but surely ur bad days will turn out into good days but all it need is patience. So whatever struggle you through just think that everything happens for a good cause and it is important because this make us learn a lot how to deal with problems.

[@rosegarden0988]

Sorry, I'm just not feeling it...don't want anymore life lessons and reasons. Right now, to me personally, life sucks!!!

[@zuleikae.5032]

one of the things i do is pray . having faith and knowing there is a power greater than me gives the security everything is gonna be fine. another thing that helps is to remember whatever we going through we are not alone , somebody out there already went through it or its going through the same thing . looking for support its very important as we can feel very isolated when times are hard. and last but not least try to find something to be grateful for. not matter whats going on in our lives there will be always something to be thankful for.

[@nombulelo_nhleko]

I look at where i am today,I look at all that i have that other people do not have,I spent time with God,read the bible and prayed so many times,I began to appreciate myself,I loved myself,I spoiled myself,I realised without myself I am actually nothing..it really did help me alot coz I no longer depend on someone for happiness because I realised it had always been within me,I became confident,I stopped blaming people for my failures and took charge on my life my mistakes and all...i learned how to deal with problems single handed without ever involving someone...and at 21 everything that's been happening in my life I have labeled a blessing because from all of it,I grow,i learn and I become stronger in all my weaknesses and what could ever be better than that😊

[@darklord8941]

Jay I just gotta say that I've had a ruff life like most done drugs drank all that crap but I'm still fresh out of the water from drowning myself I'm about 3 or 4 weeks clean from all of it and it's hard but when I'm havein a tuff time I watch ur videos

Exercise, music, time out from outside world, getting more in touch with my insides...going inside myself instead of going out try to get distract ...I check out from outside world for a while and di some soul searching

Beautifully and truthfully said.

What I do during my tough times is find answers. Break down the problem. Understand what exactly is hurting me. And have a conversation with myself. For that I choose silence, meditation...connect with the deep voice within. We always have answers. Connect with the guide within. If it still doesn't help, listen, observe, read...from noble wise people. You will always find something that help you going.

I think finding strength is understanding /examining what we have done or what we could have done better. I found this helps me! We sometimes feel doomed but in fact its our attitude that will determine if our hardships will cause us to feel like a victim or take that experience in finding what opportunities we can see in it.

I pray. Write a diary. Spend time with my family and friends count my blessings and realise how grateful I am for what I have

[@suzetterivera2593]

The thing that gives me strength ..its by looking at my kids an grandkids ...i feel like i am a mother an its my job to show by example to my kids how to handle hard times ..i need to teach them what to do if they should have to go thru hard times ...i feel respondsible for teaching them how to be strong ...i learned from watching my grandmother an from my father ...they both taught me that there isnt anything more important then influencesing your kids in the right ways

Just finding this gold mine of advice from Mr. Shetty now....where have you been all my life...Alleluia! Lol, looking forward to listening to all of him. THANK YOU!

How I find strength in difficult times is I seem to have someone who usually needs a friend to talk to and once I hear about their problem, it makes my problems seem even less important and after helping them through their problem, I seem to find the solution to my own. This is just how I usually work through my issues. Or, I will borrow a friend's ear and talking through my issues usually work. Putting aside your problems for someone else's problems can sometimes make you realize that your answer was right in front of you the whole time but frustrations were preventing you from finding it. I enjoy helping others and I guess that's why I enjoy your videos so much. Very powerful messages and they are very uplifting messages too. Thank you.

[@MetaphysiciansVortex]

I go inside of myself and remind myself who I am! acknowledge how I feel, Honor it and know that this is temporary and will pass by morning! Then I turn on people like this on youtube and let them sew into me! Thank you so much!

[@ritishk3379]

i listen to music in difficult times

[@JustTah]

I play inspiring music and I look for videos on KZbin by inspiring personalities. I also pray and I have a Marco Polo group that posts daily affirmations. And I stay away from drinking and drugs.

I find my strength through cooking, making other happy through food is a precious gift. I’ve always believed food is the binding agent of life. Family, friends, loved ones and strangers doesn’t matter make them happy with food. You don’t need to be a chef to make good food, just put your love and passion into it!

Many of the things on your list are EXACTLY what I do during difficult times. I lost my son's father a week ago to a senseless and avoidable death. Although I love him dearly, telling myself that it's okay for me to be mad at him momentarily has helped me accept this tragedy. It doesn't take away from the love I have for him but it validates that it's okay for me to be upset with his actions. I gave myself permission to be honest about the situation. I allowed myself to accept the outcome because nothing can change how it ended, but I also accepted nothing can change the amazing memories I have except the things I choose to tell myself. One painful memory is not enough for me to forget all the beautiful memories we shared. Acceptance is the 2nd thing on my list. Once you can bring yourself to accept that something has happened that's when you're able to give yourself permission to begin processing the emotions/feelings appropriately. If you try to process your emotions before you've accepted the outcome you will not handle things properly and you will mismange your emotions. 3rd thing on my list is being honest with yourself. Validate the truths that you know without letting your emotions lie to you. The 4th thing on my list is remembering the good without allowing the bad to tarnish it. The bad is a part of it, not all of it. Removing all the good over 1 bad thing isn't fair and isn't right. If you allow your emotions to rule the mind you will never have the peace you deserve. The final thing on my list is taking the lesson/s learned and growing in mind, body and soul. There's always something to be learned and there's strength in knowledge. Hope this helped you
