INTRODUCTION

Sucker punch can be seen as a sudden or unexpected blow that could throw an individual off balance. Figuratively, such sudden punch could come in form of life challenges experienced by individuals at various stages of their lives. It's however pertinent to note that human beings views different situations in different ways. A challenge a particular individual might see as a big issue, might look very easy or simply to another Individual. Therefore, this post will be an analysis of the three basic challenges I have been facing in life.

THREE BASIC CHALLENGES THAT HAS BEEN EATING ME UP

PROCASTINATION: Procastination involves the habit of avoiding, delaying, or shifting the time frame on issues that are important to us. This has been one of the great challenges of life that I have been facing. I personally have become used to carrying out task or assignments late.

This challenge actually began through the recurring actions of receiving negative feedbacks on completed task, this got to a point that I normally envision receiving a rejection mail, letter, or feedback even while I am still carrying out the task.

This challenge has caused varieties of problems, such as missed opportunities, as most times I get to remember that I have a pending task to carryout after the deadline for the task must have expired.

However, I am currently working on eliminating such challenge by structuring a daily guide and time frame for all my activities for the day, and ensuring that I abide to the structure of activities.

The second personal challenge that I am experiencing is STAYING OUT LATE. This particular challenge actually began from my former place of work. My work timing was between 2pm to 11pm, and I basically got home by 12am everyday, and as time goes on, I began to enjoy the night movements such that even on my off duty days, I practically plan the day to end as late as 11pm before coming home from wherever I went to.

With regards to what I have done to stop or cope with it, there is basically nothing for now, but I haven't been staying out late of recent due to the fact that I got a new job which required a change of environment. So, for now, there's no much friends to hangs out with or have late hours stroll with, and for that recent I am unintentionally adjusting to being at home as early as possible.

The third personal challenge is the issue of ANGER. As human beings with feelings, anger is inevitable as everyone has a limit at which they can tolerate a particular situation. However, how we react at such a moment when we are angry is the most important thing to look forward to. Growing up, I had serious anger issues maybe because of the fact that I was a stammerer, and most times couldn't express myself fully through words, and as such, to express myself fully, I turn to destroying things. I remember vividly I once destroyed the sitting room's television out of anger by just hitting the screen very hard with a stick. However, it's important to note that I am working fully towards such a challenge by not responding at all in a situation of a heated argument, as that might only escalate the issue further, and by locking my ears away from discussion that could prompt such. Furthermore, I have practically positioned my mindset to view anger as another term for destruction, and this has helped a lot in managing the situation.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I will like to appreciate the @steemalive for such an amazing contest that will help people to speak out on the various challenges that they are facing. Depression is real, speaking out and receiving constructive feedbacks acts as a healing process. So, let's imbibe the spirit of looking out for one another, and being our brothers keeper.

Thank you for reading through.
