#MarchMomentum Part 3 of 6

Acknowledge your reality and assess the nature of the situation or circumstances.
We have to learn to accept those things we cannot change, and focus, instead, on how to cope with them daily. Acknowledging the problem helps us deal proactively with less-than-ideal situations and make the best of them.
Here are three practical suggestions that you can apply to help you through challenging times.
 

• Keep busy with constructive things to occupy your time so that you focus less on the negative.
• Continue to respect others, regardless of the situation or circumstance.
• Conscientiously manage your temper. Take a literal beat, and breathe...

 
Seriously, there are levels to this. I’ve been at the lowest level of #BeStill. There’s been plenty of times where I’ve almost lost my cool. It has taken growth and maturity for me to learn to exercise patience and control. By trial and error, I’ve learned that being reactive doesn’t always get me the outcome I was hoping for. I can’t change or control something that is out of my reach. Sometimes, all it takes is for us to #BeStill while nature takes its course. Whatever is destined for us will be for us. In the meantime, we should focus on the things that we can change, which is striving to be better while our blessing is in the making. When that blessing arrives, we will be in a better state to receive it.
 
Being still will actually help your momentum.
