Can difficult times can help us grow?

Mar 19, 2021

Do you ever wonder if difficult times can help us grow?

I recently listened to Ella Fitzgerald song “Into each life some rain must fall.”
And while we can’t control just how much it rains, we can make a decision – let ourselves get wet, or break out the umbrella.

The rain, of course, is the challenging times that we all face – medical diagnosis, divorce, job loss, even just navigating the teen years as a parent.

And, while it may not seem like it at first, something positive can come from the experience.

We have a choice in how we respond to difficult times. We can shut down emotionally and let ourselves become hardened by it, or we can grow from the experience. Receiving a serious medical diagnosis, for example, can cause psychological and physical stress – and it can even be traumatic.

When patients are able to stay resilient, they are better able to cope with the medical condition, stay positive and even discover new aspects of themselves they never realized.

GROWTH IN GRIEF

There is actually a term for the process – post-traumatic growth – and it refers to the benefit and personal growth that comes from experiencing a crisis.

Research has found that up to 70% of people experience positive psychological growth from difficult times, such as a deeper sense of self and purpose, a greater appreciation for life and loved ones, and an increased capacity for altruism, empathy and desire to act for the greater good. While the transition from old to new has it’s own challenges, we can all learn how to change and grow no matter the obstacles we face.

This weekend I delve into this subject of EVOLUTION – THE JOURNEY OF OUR SOUL.
As a part of the final week of Radical Wellness programme this term, we will take a deep dive on this subject.
The tools we use are those of Yoga and Meditation along with true profound information.
