Bouncing Back When Life Punches You In The Face

Bouncing Back When Life Punches You In The Face

No one wants to get punched on the face, NOT even getting kicked on the chin.  BUT alas, in life, we DON'T wear those teflon coats every tick of the clock to shield us from things that trigger to 'rock the boat', so to speak.  And the only antidote, really, is Bouncing Back When Life Punches You In The Face because we should NEVER sulk in one corner, ever comforted by our self-defeating self-pity because it will never lift you out from that rat's hole📗📙📘

Even for the battle-scarred in the world of martial arts, much as they 'FORTIFY THEIR FORTITUDE' when getting hit black and blue, walking off from a fight, NO matter if it ended up as a gross mismatch, is simply a NO-NO because NO one, NOT even your own handlers will get to a realization that all they have in their stable is a patsy.  This reminds me of the world of boxing WHERE it used to be, world title fights were scheduled for 15 rounds, until bloodied boxers refused to throw in the towel even when blood was all over their face.  They then cut down those fights to 12 rounds💥💥💥

YES, I CAN'T agree less with this poster WHICH screams, FALL SEVEN TIMES, STAND UP EIGHT.  Bottomline is that, it it behooves that regardless of the storms that will hit us, we are expected to be standing on our toes, even if at times, we feel weak OR worse, even bloodied.  Indeed, let's paint a picture WHERE you're so weak BUT you prefer to be lying down on the canvas, on that rough pavement.  That will NEVER be of help, NOT even to inject a breath of life into your sagging spirit after getting hit 'black and blue'.  WHICH reminds me, I've been down in the 'gutters' a few times in the past BUT alas, here I am, alive and kicking, NO thanks to my kindred spirit to keep going no less😊😊😊

Some practical sharings for us to bounce back:

• Practice SELF-COMPASSION.  Treat yourself with the same kindness you would extend to your friend.  You deserve it
• Have that POSITIVE OUTLOOK.  Take pleasure for the little joys in our life.
• Take an ACTIVE APPROACH to fix an issue
• Be mentally and emotionally FLEXIBLE because resilience comes into play then

Our takeaway:  No one is shielded from getting thrown into that deep and dark abyss in life.  Unfortunately for some of us, lightning DOES NOT STRIKE ONCE because some of us get hit a multiple times.  And this is WHEN our resilience leads us to the tipping point, that point WHEREIN we can make OR break things. BUT here's the thing.  WHY do we settle with a BREAK WHEN more often, the difference between making it OR missing it is sometimes minuscule.  Sometimes, it is that last gasp that will push us over the hump.  YES dude, BOUNCING BACK WHEN LIFE PUNCHES YOU IN THE FACE is NOT a steep slope to climb❗❗❗
