Life can take us on journeys we never thought we would go on. There are so many different paths we can take, and unexpected events can happen at any moment. It is up to you how you deal with these things. Hard times can often be make or break for a person. Obviously, this can depend on the severity of the situation. Unfortunately, there is no way to know how you will feel when something happens, but there are ways you can prepare yourself to give yourself a little cushion to fall on. 

 

Visualize and focus

You need to accept the fact that things change. Life is not static, there are movements all the time. You may have a mortgage and a good job right now, but external factors could shake that to the core. Always ask what if this, what if that? Know that you will have to go through hard times in your life, and when they happen you will have already built a mindset capable of dealing with them. You can begin to manage your emotions now. Meditate and focus, imagine what you would do if everything fell apart, create plan Bs. If you can visualize the worse and be there in mind, if it ever happened, you will already have learned how to manage your emotions. Being able to visualize the worst will actually give you a deeper understanding of your current status and may make you happier in the present. 

 

Finances

The financial aspect of dealing with the unexpected can have a devastating impact on mental and physical health. It is one of the main sources of stress. When you are doing well, think about this, are you saving, or are you living on credit? This is not a great way to continue your life. If something does happen any form of debt can quickly drag you under. Live within your means, pay off debt as quickly as possible and wait until you have the funds to get that new sofa, for example. If you are doing well, there is no need to live on credit. Set aside a rainy day fund, this will help you by providing you with time if you lose your job. Also, think about family insurance, if something happens to you, you will want to know they are protected. Also, if something happens and you can no longer work, think about getting social security disability lawyers if your social security has been denied for whatever reason.

 

Be resilient

If something does happen and your whole life gets turned on its head, you may need to turn your hand to anything to get you through. Don’t be proud. Accept help if it is offered, and if you have to find work somewhere you may feel is menial, just do it. If you want to survive, you need to think like a survivor and be prepared to do anything. Be resilient, don’t let your mindset stop you from rebuilding your life, no matter how seemingly low in the pecking order you have to start again.
