LIFE IS HARD-GOT RESILIENCE?
LIFE IS HARD-GOT RESILIENCE?
There's a vital living asset that almost never gets talked about, because it's so hard to define. You could call it reserves, staying power, bandwidth - or resilience. Examples of resilience might be:
When your computer crashes, you know who to call to help you recover.
When your projects don’ materialize even though you worked hard to promote them, you focus on the lessons that will help you succeed at the next one.
When something just isn't working, you get twice as interested in how to make it work.
When you go it alone to achieve major life change and do not succeed, you know when and where to reach out for help.
Whether you can define it or not, you can cultivate resilience. And you'll be glad you did.
The Importance of Being Resilient!
Almost everyone alive will get pushed to their limits, not once but many times. Face it; “Life Is Tough” (Rule 1 in living) is hard.
If it was easy, everyone living their dreams and have full self-love.
To a large extent, the ones who succeed will be the ones who are the most resilient - the ones who can go to their limit and find that they still have something more in reserve. The one's that put their resistance in "check" and move forward through it until they become free of it and experience the fruits of their labour.
Life's not fair and some people have been given a stronger constitution than others. But as always, the more interesting part is the part that is in your control. What are you doing to build
your resilience today?
Building resilience requires practice. The best time to do it is daily. You're the best judge of what works for you, but here are three steps that help:
Have great resources at your fingertips: Follow the GPS to your personal strengths and grow your self confidence one-methodical step and a time! The tools can be learned – you need to produce the follow-through. How badly do you want a life you love living?
Get good sleep, good nutrition, and good exercise.
Count your blessings: Notice how, after a setback, you keep going. End each day by acknowledging what you got out of it, whether that is the main story or the "silver lining". Gratitude is the foundation of prosperity thinking.
Do you have a favourite way to cultivate resilience? Or another quality that is as crucial in your life? Use all the resources you have to make your dream come true. It's all up you. (www.hopeserenity.ca acknowledges The Art and Science of Coaching)
