Adapt
Much to our displeasure, we must suggest that sometimes-unwanted changes occur that you cannot immediately do much about. This is challenging for most of us to accept. Nobody likes to lose control. But sometimes the best approach is to accept at least temporarily, the circumstances in which you find yourself. In this way, you save your fight for when it will be most productive.
We have already said the obvious. It is best to view problems as challenges to resolve. But it can be equally important to recognize when you cannot rapidly resolve your situation. This does not mean that you must give up hope. But you will avoid wasting vital energy by fighting situations over which you have no control. Some adjustment on your part may help you to tolerate unwanted changes.
We realize that nobody likes to hear this advice. Nobody likes to hear that they must change something of themselves. We all want to change the world to our liking. And nothing is more difficult than to adjust ourselves to an undesirable situation. It usually means that we must give up something that we want. But to fight reality at any cost, can eventually take a great toll on your health.
