Our life is unpredictable. I alwsys assume it as a roller coster ride, where ups and down alwsys greet us from time to time. Just like in the ride, when we going down we get scared, while going up gives us little bit of comfort. Likewise hard time and good time are part of our life. While people alwsys enjoy the good time in life, hard time alwsys comes up with testing phase. It sometime gets to tough even breaks you down to nothing. Surviving It requires a lot of patience and resilence.

Hard times, or difficult periods, are a common part of life. They can be caused by many things, including financial setbacks, health challenges, loss of a loved one, or other reasons. However, some research suggests that up to 70% of people can experience positive psychological growth from their difficult times. Hard times can affect our lives in many ways, but they can also make us stronger and help us develop important life skills:
Mental and emotional strength: The struggles can help us confront our fears and overcome obstacles, which can make us stronger mentally and emotionally.
Life skills: Adversities can help us develop important life skills like problem-solving, perseverance, and adaptability that can be used in future challenges.
Mood and outlook: How we deal with emotions and view the world can impact other areas of our lives. For example, feeling discouraged can make us less likely to pursue goals, and difficulty managing emotions can damage relationships or make it hard to maintain responsibilities.
Mental health : Letting go of control and allowing ourselves to not participate in certain situations can help maintain our mental health during difficult times.
Making lemonade out of lemons.
I have been in such situation on numerous ocassion. From heart break in relationship to financial losses to other challenges in life. I was shaken, found myself in darkness. But coped up to lead to normal life. During those hard time, I learned many things. Here are some other tips for getting through hard times:
Express our feelings : Avoiding our feelings can cause them to build up inside you. It better to let them out in whatever way we can.
Avoid making big decisions : Unless it's absolutely necessary, try not to make major decisions when facing uncertainty or adversity. Instead, give ourself time and reach out to someone we trust for counsel.
Keeping a positive outlook : Nothing stay permanent in life, and so does the hard time. Styaing positive can help us communicate better with others, attract positivity in life, and even impact brain function. For example, laughing releases dopamine in the brain, which can cause more positive feelings. Avoid all kind of negativity even people of negative thoughts, as they demotivates and demoralize us.
Connect with our support circle : Focus on our relationships with people who care about you and can offer practical help, encouragement, or advice. Talk to them, keep them in loop and when feel scared and lonely reach out to them.
Consider meditation : Meditation in difficult time can be a hard process, but it can help us feel safe enough to discuss painful emotions and experiences.
