How Mentally Strong People Deal with Uncertainty

[@juliakristinamah]

Hi friends - What's something you've been doing to adapt to this big change?

[@juliakristinamah]

@Hey It's Me Ha! I love it.

[@enterallowed338]

I’m soaking up all your materials plus some stoicism.Ive discovered how difficult it is to manage myself as an adult

[@clarissamacdonald6523]

I’ve actually started my prescribed meds again... I suffer from ptsd, bipolar #2, multiple personalities, ocd, adhd, anxiety and depression at the current moment.

[@carolwhelan6901]

EXCELLENT message!! Last year, my husband of 20 years was killed by a train. I had to close our business and return 60 motorcycles to customers. And there was much more to deal with. I have a 14 year old daughter and didnt even consider caving in! I bought a small house for us 1 mile from her school. Her school was amazing about helping me and her keep a sense of normalcy. She went back to school 3 weeks after her father was tragically killed. She is so strong because she sees me strong We both have our moments, but we are still alive and deserve to be happy! Thank you! I can’t wait to share your perfect message! ❤️

[@juliakristinamah]

Sending you so much love. Thanks for your powerful and inspiring message - you're amazing Carol.

[@beachprints]

Carol, I am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through that loss. I know you don't really get over losses like that. I believe you adjust to a new reality. We had a son pass 2 1/2 years ago after a long illness. Sounds like you are doing well. I invite you to invite God in if you haven't already. That will make a difference too.

[@carolwhelan6901]

Thank you all for your kind words ❤️

Our 4ddiction to safety and security, makes us anxious and powerless - we have to be ok with and tackle the present moment, so that we can get the desired results in the furure

[@juliakristinamah]

Exactly. Full control doesn't make us feel more safe - the acceptance that we have very little of it does.

[@medpsychhealth4870]

Control is a myth . None of us have full control over our lives. You are correct that we are obsessed with safety and security, frequently to the point of paralysis. Anxiety feeds on our inordinate desire for control and our obsession with preventing anything bad from happening to ourselves or loved ones.

Hi Julia! I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given to me and so many others. I started watching your videos when I was 15; I'm 17 now and still turn to your channel when I feel myself turning to old habits. I speak for so many when I say that you are appreciated immensely. Much love from the UK, Keira x

When we become friends with what is, we become an observer and we find acceptance, we go with the flow and trust that everything works our in our favor. Life is always guiding us in the right direction and we are where we need to be 💕

[@dawnelizabeth1828]

Good stuff right there, thanks.

[@chrisdigitalartist]

Thanks for sharing that.💞

[@juliakristinamah]

We must accept what is - all else is suffering.

[@debt.1001]

I really do understand the concept of acceptance and being adaptable to whatever situation arises and that being ridged and inflexible causes suffering. I flow, adapt and accept in my business all the time and am much better at this now in my personal life. However, I am so confused at what to do when you truly believe that there is a bigger, negative, agenda behind the changes that we are being forced to make. I mean, do we just stand by passively and follow rules that literally make no sense, or do we stand firm in our beliefs and speak out in the face of adversity? I get that you shouldn’t ‘fight’ against something you think is wrong as you are aligning with that low vibration but surely if we all just comply and do nothing and allow ourselves to be controlled by others who very well may not have our best interests at heart, then our physical lives will not be our own. Our liberty will be gone and we will have started to travel down a path of no control and powerlessness where humanity may suffer. Help, I am really struggling right now and feel completely lost. 🙏💕🌈

Hey Julia, I'm Chrishalyn from Philippines and I found you through one of your video "How to help someone with Anxiety". Because of that I subscribed on your channel and watching all of your videos and jotting down everything. I just realized that in order for me to help someone is I need to check first my own mental health. But thank you so much I'm learning so many things from you! You're beautiful! Love lots from Philippines! 💕💖💞

Love this! I am self employed. I sell online and at craft shows. With this slow down I applied on a wholesale website where stores shop to carry handmade goods. Yes, the stores are closed. But, this is a good time for me to set up on a new venue. Guess what! I got a wholesale order the other day.

[@christiannewski]

Oh my god! I love so much what you’re saying here. Such great tips !

[@jemstar7592]

Adaptability to change: 1. Willingness to Learning how to do things in a different way 2. Not being afraid of failure and seeing situations as either getting the outcome you want or the lesson you need. 3. Being creative and trusting that you will come up with solutions to problems where you are doing fine because you've done it before. 4. Get curious - instead of rejecting things, ask questions. 5. Intentionally take a step back and look at the big picture. Not reacting in the moment but asses what's going on to make a mindful decision after thinking things through. 6. Working with a situation instead of against it. What can I do with this? How can I make this work for me?

[@dddamaged7501]

Failure is a learning step to better. Fall down 6 times, get up 7 times. If you think you can or you can't, you are right!

G'day Julia thanx so much for your program . I subscribed to your videos a while back ... Really enjoy hearing your expertise and helpful insights. I seem to stay Grounded through this Mess. So adapting and adjusting seems to be the tools to use. Not only that but having Strong Faith in the walk with God is a proven safeguard. Although there's uncertainties where this mess is going, i live my life One Day at a time by the Grace of God. Thank you again my friend and please keep doing your helpful videos their very much appreciated 👍😇

[@chrishorbatt3504]

Finally a video were I'm having desired qualities rather than fitting the "suffer from" end of the discussion,yet somehow it doesn't make me feel any better. I'm adaptable only cause I have no choice if I want to continue to function.

[@JamieMakin]

Thanks you so much for your videos, Julia! I have been a subscriber for many months now, but your help is more needed than ever in these troubled times. While I do think of myself as an adaptable person, this crisis has shown me that I'm too SLOW in adapting to these things. I had been weathering this storm pretty well, but these last 48 hours or so I feel like I've gone into meltdown mode. No particular trigger, just the sum of everything catching up to me I guess. I will continue to put into practice your suggestions in this video and others as I try to find my way though our turbulent new reality.

[@nourredineboughanmi7334]

Dear Julia, When I listen to you through this video, I feel like you're talking about me lol because I consider myself as a creative and curious person who tends to look at the big picture much more than the details. Also, if you remember my comment I posted (2 weeks ago) below your video called "How to Stay Calm During the Coronavirus Crisis", I mentioned that the keywords for me when getting through a crisis were calm, patience and ADAPTATION ;)

[@juliakristinamah]

Oh, yeah - I remember! Really glad we're on the same page with this one.

Great topic!! Related book I just read: Antifragile by Nassim Taleb. Antifragile systems or people benefit from volatility. He's a stock trader, but he goes a little bit into emotional antifragility as well: accepting emotions as they are. Adaptability and antifragility are closely related, but intellectual and emotional adaptability is also related to neuroplasticity and cognitive flexibility. What I'm saying is, becoming adaptable will not only get you through a pandemic, it will also prevent all kinds of degeneration later and make life much more fun! Great topic and great methods to get started!!

Hi there♥️your channel. Dont know where I heard this phrase but it always stuck with me. "What you resist persists." I think it was the author of "The Seat of Your Soul."

[@paulinewhalen6761]

[@christopherdesigngroup3315]

I guess the pattern that keeps repeating in my life is relying on unreliable people, mostly family. Family members continually sabotage or take advantage of my gifts or accomplishments. I keep ending up in extreme dire straits becoming homeless and financially broke because of it. I am self disciplined, live a healthy and fit lifestyle, and practice daily meditation but I somehow feel obligated to tolerate others who are not as "evolved" as me. I feel guilty for my blessings and feel obligated to give all my things to others because of my ability to find gratitude and joy. Is that spiritual brainwashing? I always try to choose gratitude and love but I am finding that others resent that approach and intentionally try to undermine my efforts or even try to do me harm. Perhaps I should just stop sharing my life.

[@aadamsalazar]

Hi julia i was just watching your video on how to stop a negative thought/thoughts so can you let me know if this sounds familiar to you or just maybe makes any sense. So i was using your technique of saying stop! to a negative thought....Then I had got to the point where saying “stop” was working for me, until one day i had a negative thought and i said “stop” but it wasn’t really the thought that was bothering me, it was another thought saying “what if you can’t stop thinking about that negative thought you just had”, so i learned to say STOP to both of the thoughts, since they are both negative! Does this sound like a negative thought about another negative thought, i’d like your input on this. Thank you!

[@jasonl4074]

not really clear what adaptability means in this situation - in the example of a scenario like the onset of covid, people adapted to the changing circumstances by hoarding household materials. In this case, is the adaptable person making the right choice by « going against the tide » by observing and making decision for themselves?

[@soulhometftstressfrigrelse8032]

Idea: When stress (or some trauma) is released very suddenly, toilet visits are required. The "Hoarding toilet paper", without knowing this is somewhat... "Hmmmmm... from where did they know..."
