"Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith." These are some wise words, that have been said before a few years by my inspirational role model Steve Jobs. It is indeed true, that sometimes life won't be very kind to us and we will go through some very rough times. During those times everything seems so dark and negative even though in reality it is not as bad as we think. Choose to be a positive thinker!

How many times have you tried to fight or run from trouble? Our brains are made to protect us in any situation, even if that means thinking of the worst possible outcome and devising an escape for a situation that hasn’t even happened or won’t ever happen. If we choose to listen our negative thoughts our anxiety gets triggered, and we begin to live a life full of toxicity.

Toxic stress is so bad for ourselves... It affects negatively our everyday life. If you don't try to resist it, then it will slowly destroy your life. Intrusive thoughts have an impact on our sleep, and our energy levels start to drop significantly. We start to lose interest in the activities that made us feel joy and happiness. We then feel miserable and pitiful.

When troubles begin to flood our life, we have three choices. Fight the problem, Run from it, or Accept it and use it as a learning experience. Choosing the first two options, will have a negative impact on your life. Fighting the problem, will make you feel terrible and full of toxic stress. Running from it, will make you a weak person that doesn't know how to face challenges in life.

Choose to accept the problem and use it as a learning experience for the future. This will make you stronger. Accepting the problem, will decrease your anxiety levels, and using it as a learning experience for the future will make you a stronger person, because if you are in a similar situation in the future, you will be able to use this experience. After all, the true winner in life, is the one who knows how to face challenges in life...
