Coping with Life!

Coping with life in these current times can seem like an uphill battle for many people.

The economic environment, work pressures, demands of the family, pressure for the kids to perform well at school and a seemingly ever-increasing number of people suffering from ‘mental health problems’ all seem to indicate that life is just getting harder and harder!

Coping with life became even more challenging in 2020 with the emergence of the Coronavirus Pandemic which not only resulted in a large number of global deaths, but also had a significant impact on the quality of life due to government imposed restrictions on daily life.

But all is not lost, what if we told you that you could learn how to ‘experience’ all of these challenges in a radically different way so that your life feels fantastic?

Would that be something worth knowing?

It may come as some surprise to know that life is not HAPPENING to you, but that you are actually INTERPRETING life in a certain way, and if you’re not coping with life well at the moment, then chances are that you are interpreting it in a way that’s not very ‘helpful’ to you!

Most people tend to believe that the ‘way the world is’ is exactly the same for everybody, but this is simply not true.

The way we think and experience life is uniquely our own and no two people have the same experience.

In this respect, everybody’s ‘world’ is totally unique.

Coping with Life – Key Ideas

If you want to be better at coping with life then there are a number of key points worth understanding:

• The way you experience the ‘World’ is uniquely your own which is known as perceptual constructivism
• Our ability to feel ‘in control’ of our life-path is determined by our ‘Locus of Control‘ – a core belief system
• We ‘make sense’ of events and experiences by constantly comparing them to our ‘core beliefs & values’
• When experiences don’t fit with our beliefs, we ‘make’ them ‘fit’ in a process known as Confirmation Bias
• People can (and do) change their core beliefs using proven psychological tools and techniques

Coping with Life by Creating New Perspectives

The most effective and sustainable way of coping with life is by learning how to manage your thinking processes more effectively.

Life REALLY IS what you make it, rather then some sort of plan designed by somebody else that you have to follow regardless of what happens along the way (although many people, of course, do believe that their lives are ‘determined’ by ‘higher beings).

Coping with Life by Changing Your Thinking

We do not know of any better method of coping with life more effectively than by following our beliefs-based programme of Tranceformental CBT here at Tranceform Psychology.

The programme adopts a fundamentally different way of thinking about life by teaching you a set of core skills which allow you to make better choices and decisions about what YOU want and how to go about designing yourself to make the most of life.

You won’t learn how to change the World, but you will learn how to experience life differently!
