Lemons Or Lemonade

Life is simply a roller coaster ride. Sometimes it gives you bed full of roses and sometimes, it throws lemons at you. What I believe is, when life throws lemons at you, make a tasty lemonade.. It’s about finding the positivity even when life is not going your way—in other words, when it’s throwing you lemons. The expression “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is used to encourage us when we’re facing a problem in our lives. When you face problems in a way you can feel proud of, you’re making life a little sweeter. Lemons suggest bitterness (a problem or adversity you are facing), while lemonade is sweet and pleasant. Staying positive and figuring out how to solve problems is much more advantageous than allowing yourself to go sour.
Some of the ways to turn lemons into lemonade are: 

1. Be Appreciative 
Even if your life is completely falling apart, there are still things you can be grateful for. It may be tough at the beginning but as you consider the good things going on in your life, you’ll realize there are plenty of small things to be grateful for. If this practice lifts your mood, that shift may also help you realize you’re in control of your life. 

2. Cling to peace 
It’s important not to stress out too much, despite the issues happening in your life. Learning to take a deep breath when life gets too much can allow you a moment of much-needed relaxation. Find a spot where you feel safe to reflect on what’s happening and how you are going to deal with it. 
3. Repercussions of reactions 
Moving through the problems with a sense of grace is what you can control. There are outside forces, of course, but it’s up to you how you’re going to cope with them. Don’t get angry or completely freak out. Instead smile and say to yourself “this too shall pass.” Reacting negatively, especially towards others, is going to make you feel even more terrible.

4. Embrace things with open hands 
By pushing away the problem, you only make it stronger. Instead, accept things as they are. When something comes up in your mind about the situation, say “yes” to all the feelings that arise in you. For example, if you’re heart is aching, feel it. You actually make the feelings you have less painful or stressful if you admit that they exist. If you suffered a loss, it’s essential you acknowledge it so the healing can truly begin. 

5. Go outside 
This may seem like a simplistic solution but looking at the vastness of the sky or listening to the sound of birds may make you realize there is something greater than what’s happening within you. Taking a walk in nature isn’t going to solve your problems, per se, but it could make you feel better afterwards. This in turn helps you face problems with a more positive outlook. 

6. Breathe in- Breathe out 
Even if you don’t have a care in the world, I suggest daily meditation because it keeps you grounded. When a major problem in your life does occur, you will have honed the strategy of non-reaction to what’s going on around you. You can stay with the issue and allow the storm to pass over you without panicking. Meditation is like already having your sugar-water ready, just in case a bunch of lemons are thrown your way. 

So yes, this is how you can enjoy making lemonades out of lemons.
