How to overcome adversity in times of crisis?


'If it's humanly possible, you can do it' – Marcus Aurelius.


In times of human crisis, how do we cope? How do we manage the physical and emotional challenges that present themselves? And perhaps most crucially how do we come out the other side better human beings?


A strange reality has descended on us.


At this time many of us will be at home isolating, some will be part of the army of people who are trying to keep us functioning as nations, and some, of course, will be on the frontline battling this new Coronavirus invader in hospitals and the community.


One thing is for sure, and that is whichever situation you find yourself in, this worldwide crisis will challenge us mentally - our sense of self, our relationships our values and our livelihoods.


But beyond this crisis, how do we overcome the challenges in our lives? What can we do to move on and learn from adversity? What are the mindsets and approaches that distinguish people who move through challenging situations to find new purpose and meaning in their lives?


In this episode, I reflect on the learnings from my guests on the podcast so far, to identify 5 strategies to help overcome adversity and to turn adversity into advantage.
