5 Words I use to turn any challenging situation to my favour

Life happens. And one thing that you can be sure of on the way is that whatever the plan is (or isn't...) things don't always go according to plan.

Like everyone else - I've had my fair share of heartache and losses and things have shaken my confidence along with the next person.

I've had situations that have been unpleasant, unfair, disrespectful, and in the face of the '-isms' so many times that I've lost count...

And yet 5 words start a powerful chain reaction of support and control for me - and so for today's #SaturdayServing I share those same 5 words with you and a bit more about why they are so powerful to turn any situation to your favour...

The Answer is in the Question

I am a huge believer in the power of questions, and so it's so exciting to me that these powerful 5 words take their power in coming together in the form of a question.

Upgrading the questions we ask is one of the most powerful pursuits that we can use to continue to upgrade our knowledge and experiences and this question is no different...

As instead of taking things at face value it invites us to consider a new perspective of opportunity and possibility, irrespective of the event or how you are feeling...

A Five Word Gamechanger...

The question that has kept me focused on opportunity and possibility no matter the events taht took place themselves, is the question

"What does this make possible?"

It is such a powerful question because allows for so many powerful and important parts needed to improve and transform any situation:

• It gives space to feel what's real - it doesn't need you to deny if you feel bad in the moment or any of the other feelings that come your way. It doesn't tell you to deny them nor wallow in them.
• It supports a focus redirection and helps to think about the opportunity that the new state or challenge could bring, thus supports the ability to bring it about.
• It promotes a solution orientation - rather than focus on any of those things, it enables you to powerfully remove the obsession with the feelings of now or the perceived problems that it may bring - - but to focus on what can be made positive from the situation at hand.

The fact is that resilience is oversold for sure... resilience is only needed if resistance is present, but this question creates so much powerful acceptance and then a focus on the opportunity which in the current climate that we live in is the most powerful weapon of all.

Be sure to try it out, and see just what you come back with a s a powerful opportunity no matter the initial feelings about the initial situation.
