Changing Your Perspective

❌ Why is this happening to me?

Is the question we all ask ourselves when faced with an unexpected issue 😟

I found myself asking it almost every day at the start of this new normal.

When my internship became remote, my study abroad experience was cut short, and I realized my Senior year of college would not be what I had always expected.

But I realized that focusing on what-could-have-been wasn’t doing me any good!

So I learned how to rephrase this tempting question:

✅ Why is this happening FOR me?

When, in the past, have you been in an undesirable situation that ended up benefiting you in the end? 💭

How can you look at your situation today and see how, even though it might feel horrible in the moment, you can learn and grow from it in the future? 💭

🧠 It’s all about your mindset.
