Practicing Resilience
REFLECTING ON RESILIENCE:
In a nutshell, resilience can be defined as is the remarkable ability of humans to adapt when faced with adversity, as well as the ability to “bounce back” from disappointment- failure- loss, feeling stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever.
Resilience is about experiencing all of the negative, difficult, and distressing events that life throws at you while staying on task, optimistic, and high-functioning.
Here are 5 coaching tools I am focusing on to enhance RESILIENCE:
1) Reframe your mindset from victim to survivor: “I CAN DO THIS”, “I AM GOING TO MAKE IT NO, MATTER WHAT”. Become accountable and use whatever resources you have at hand. Affirm that you’re strong and capable enough to face anything life throws at you.
2) Accessing & Sustaining Positivity
When you withdraw your attention from negativity (stop feeding it energy, but at the same time not struggling against it) and instead give your attention to positivity, it can start to naturally displace the negatives.
A resilient person can overcome the devastating feelings of the crisis without getting stuck in the cycle of desperation and negativity.
“Staying positive does not mean that things will turn out okay. Rather it is knowing that you will be okay no matter how things turn out.” – unknown
3) Stop and think to make rational decisions:
In the midst of the crisis or an unforeseen event, it’s easy to be compulsive, have poor judgment, and make wrong decisions. Train yourself to stop, analyze, and then decide.
4) Have Faith: Trust that God, the Universe, or your own understanding of a Higher Power, will always conspire to contribute with you, and provide you with everything you need, in the hardest moments. Cultivate unbreakable faith.
5) Practice Affirmations:
“I have the strength and courage to get through any situation.”
“I am flexible and can adapt when life doesn’t go according to plan”.
“I am Divinely protected. I am Divinely guided”
What do you tell yourself to build resilience?
However,it is not so easy for everyone, to take that step forward in times of crisis, and that is why I want to offer you my coaching services, to support you. Together we’ll develop the correct attitude, discover your strengths, work in the habits that limit you, and bring forth your talents, strengths and passions so that you can get the life you want.
In the words of Charles Darwin, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives . It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”
Wish you Love, Strength, Freedom, Health and Success !
