3 Tips to Roll with the Punches When Life Socks It to You
3 Tips to Roll with the Punches When Life Socks It to You
Life has a way of throwing a sucker punch here and there: I've taken quite a few. Things happen, and life gets overwhelming. Sometimes you can fight back, sometimes you can hide, but sometimes the best reaction is to roll with the punches and embrace the change.
If you are in a situation where you can’t fight or hide, it might be time to just roll with it and make the best of a less-than-ideal moment in time. Here are 3 tips to roll with the punches when life socks it to you.
Tip #1: Find a tribe- From an illness to a situation, someone, somewhere, is experiencing the same thing. Finding a tribe of people with the same issue can be a safety net. There are multiple benefits to joining a group.
- Friendships
- Education
- Support
- And More
Finding and joining a tribe can help you feel like you are not alone and that you have people who get you and understand. You may find valuable support and information that makes your journey easier than it would have been on your own.

Tip #2: Toughen Up, Buttercup- I’m going to say it... some people are snowflakes. It’s tough to hear, but some people have been raised to believe that hard times aren’t part of life. They’ve been rescued and protected by overbearing and bulldozing parents who didn’t allow them to fail, fear, or flop. This can make mole hills feel like mountains. Sometimes managing a gut-punch from life is more about sucking it up and unlearning snowflake behavior more than it is about how unfair the situation is. Sometimes facing setbacks and attacks builds character, and people learn they are tougher than they thought and can be resilient without someone else being their champion. You have more powers than you've been relying on...use them!
Tip #3: Go to a Movie- Sometimes you’ve just got to live life despite what is happening. Go to a movie. Find a reason to laugh and simply live life right alongside whatever is happening to you. If you can’t do anything to change what is happening anyway, you may as well live the best life you can in spite of it. Checking out and forgetting about reality can be restorative and give you respite from whatever it is you’re facing. Don’t feel bad for laughing, joking, or tuning out the bad for a moment. It will make it easier for you to cope with what is going on in life.
You can’t always get out from under what’s happening. When that’s the case, it’s time to find ways to live with what’s happening and not let it consume you. You can roll with the punches that life throws at you and keep your head clear while you sort things out.
No matter what situations you encounter, you're not at a dead end...you are at a CROSSROADS. You can learn to pivot and move in a new direction...the direction of an Intentional Life...your BEST life!
