When failing being Resilient
Hello
Today I would like to talk about resilience – and this can be defined as the ability to adapt and cope with difficult situations, stress, and change. It involves bouncing back from adversity and remaining strong in the face of challenges. It is the ability to maintain or regain one's sense of balance and positive outlook during difficult times.
Just reading this, I guess you can see that I failed cultivating resilience in the past weeks…I started to reflect why is this:
Not taking care of myself. People who don't practice self-care may find it difficult to cope with stress and adversity
Maybe too much negative thinking. Negative thoughts and beliefs, such as self-doubt, can make it difficult to bounce back from adversity
…and a bit of too much stress. Prolonged exposure to stress can take a toll on physical and mental health, making it harder to be resilient
I have used this time to reflect and to establish some ways to train and develop my resilience:
Practice self-care
Challenge negative thoughts: Identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that may be holding me back
Practice optimism: Cultivate a positive outlook by focusing on the good things in my life and learning to see the silver lining in difficult situations
Learn from past experiences: Reflect on past difficult situations and think about what I have learned from them and how can I apply that knowledge to future challenges
Take calculated risks: Taking on new challenges and trying new things
Keep in mind that, building resilience is a process that takes time, effort, and practice. It's also important to remember that everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another
Until next week, bye and take care,
Cristi
