5 tips for getting past tough times

Speaker Shawn Anderson says that extra-mile people who transition positively through life's toughest moments practice at least one of these five regrouping strategies:

1. They don't quit on life. Huge mistakes might have been made, but the world continues. People who have walked successfully over life's hot-coal moments always keep going.

2. They live day-by-day, focusing on the now. They don't let thoughts of how they're going to deal with tomorrow defeat them.

3. They find support. By forging relationships with positive, move-forward type people, survivors trigger positive energy to flow back into their lives.

4. They get involved again. Extra-mile people transcend life's tragedies by not choosing isolation when life knocks them down.

5. They remain optimistic. They don't let negative self-talk rule their brains, and they make sure not to surrender to negative, self-defeating emotions.
