Are you tired of hearing the same old clichés when you’re feeling down? “Just think positive!” “Things could be worse!” “Look on the bright side!”

It’s enough to make anyone want to scream. But let’s be real here: when things go bad, it’s hard to stay positive.

If you’re the kind of person who falls apart in tough situations, I want you to know that you’re not alone. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed and stressed out.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it and tell you that everything will magically get better overnight. But I am going to promise you that there’s a way to stay resilient and adaptable, even in the face of adversity. It’s called “positive adaptation,” and it’s a game-changer.

It’s common advice to “just think positive” or “look on the bright side” when things go wrong. But have you ever tried doing that when you’re really upset? It’s not that easy, is it?
