Creator's Key Takeaways

the more I tried to control a situation the more it doesn't go the way I want it to so I just kind of try and trust

if you're gonna get upset over every single situation that you can't control you're gonna be upset a lot whereas if you could just focus on being present

Practice 'going with the flow' by accepting that you cannot control everything.
Use meditation to gain awareness and control over obsessive thought processes.

YouTube Video Description

Hey sailors Part of working on a cruise ship is having to deal with constant change.  I love the fact that I am stimulated all the time but that doesn't mean it isn’t hard (you can love your partner but that doesn't mean your relationship is easy). You're constantly having to adapt to new things like a new management style, a new cabin mate, having to make new friends because the old ones finished their contract, new ports, and time zones. There is always something to adapt to and its never one thing. For example, if you were living on land you would get a new job, or a new set of friends, or go traveling, or move house… but, if you go to work on cruise ships you will be doing all four of these things at the same time, and that is a lot to wrap your head around! Today I will go through how I deal with this continuous change while working on cruise ships and manage not to lose my marbles. Although this video is about experiencing change on a cruise ship, the tips can be used to help you deal with the never-ending change that is going on in the world right now. 🚢 WANT TO WORK ON CRUISE SHIPS? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sail For Success is the step-by-step course that helps you apply, stand out and get hired. - Join the course: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/course/#next-step - Free masterclass: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/free-training/ AMAZON ---------------- UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/cruisingascrew?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_4H6JEPED11QY9EN51B1D USA https://www.amazon.com/shop/cruisingascrew?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_K0ZM4SJA0VRQPH7168AE FOLLOW Website I https://www.cruisingascrew.com Instagram I https://www.instagram.com/cruisingascrew/
