Most of us know that person—colleague, business partner, or leader—who continues to emerge stronger and wiser after being “knocked down.”
It turns out that person could be any of us because resilience can be practiced and perfected. It’s connected to a certain mindset and developing the skills of self-regulation and self-awareness.
Here are 6 actions to help you practice resilience:
1. Manage and work with negative emotions by allowing and acknowledging them.
2. Plan and follow through on short-term goals to achieve your long-term aspirations.
3. Surround yourself with people who will push you the hardest and have your back when you need support.
4. Practice knowing challenges are there to teach you something really important in all aspects of your life.
5. Apply creativity to tough situations.
6. Identify key resources to tap into ahead of time, so you know who to call in a pinch.
Think about the opportunities you can create in your life when you learn to work through your difficulties and come from a place of true knowing that “this, too, shall pass.” Imagine the impact that could have on your professional and personal life. When working on developing your resilience resources, remember you don’t have to go it alone. Give us a call.
