Have you ever wondered why we avoid tough situations instead of dealing with them head on? Now you have probably also wondered how you could properly face these difficult circumstances without backing off at the last minute.

BigSpeak Exclusive Keynote and Emotional Intelligence Speaker Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry addresses why we avoid the difficult and introduces potential solutions to these obstacles in his podcast Last 8% Morning.

You Are Not Alone

What happens as a result of these habits of avoidance? You might feel as though people around you are seeing you differently and you might start seeing yourself differently, which is a rather uncomfortable feeling. However, you would be surprised how often this unnerving feeling occurs around us.

As a society, we have not been taught how to navigate these complicated and confused emotions and that is why it is still so common.

Managing Your Emotions

Our emotions play such a huge role in everything we do; they are what gets us to react in either a positive or negative way so that is why it is so crucial to be able to control them. Once you can be aware and oversee your emotions instead of acting on them, this power transforms your professional and personal life in a profound way.

These avoidances that keep us in our comfort zone are opportunities for us to alter the way we go about life and it is only until we step into our courage, that we can charge these emotions head on.

Disrupting the Patterns

Everyone tells a story about themselves whether that’s being confident, fearless, cowardly, unworthy, or clever. Now what’s your story? Being able to properly understand and be aware of how you view yourself is the first step.

Once we have established what our story is, influencing this perspective with an identity statement can be extremely helpful. Identity statements work to serve the mind in our most difficult situations, where we lose the ability to think clearly.

Not only will an identity statement work to disrupt the destructive narratives you have been creating, but it will remind you of your power and potential in those tough situations.
