10 best ways to develop resilience
/If you develop resilience, everything changes.
Like all abilities, some are gifted with elevated servings, which doesn’t guarantee success or the increased odds of overcoming and achieving a goal.
What exactly is resilience?
Resilience is a super power that is in big part built on the platform of your attitude or mindset. Having a positive attitude doesn’t mean that everyday is filled with sunshine, rose petals and happiness. Positive people have down days and moments of doubt and pessimism. It’s a matter of not drowning in the dirt of self-pity and getting back to a mindset of optimism quickly. It’s about living with hope and belief that tomorrow can and will be better, even great. This mindset of hope builds mental and emotional calluses that enable you to weather storms and set backs. Like all skills, it takes discipline and repeated effort to master. The good news is, the curriculum is simple and easy.
No matter how hard the challenge, we have the choice to dig deep, know that the dust will clear. Adapt, and focus on thriving… you may need to design a road map or learn new skills.
Here’s the beautiful part.
If you bounce back once, you build an extra layer of resilience. Each time you overcome a problem your confidence grows. As your confidence grows you become more resilient because you believe you can and will bounce back. And that is a beautiful cycle.
Another key to resilience is the ability to be creative with your strategy and approach the waves in different ways with different tools. Sometimes the waves will crash and you’ll feel like drowning. Be calm and don’t resist. Trust the process, and yourself.
The Top 10 Resilience List!
TIME: Take time to catch your breath, heal and recover from each crashing wave
SELF-CARE: Indulge in masses of self-care
MEDITATE: Stay calm and carry on
INNER CIRCLE: Evaluate your circle and eliminate haters and naysayers
PURPOSE: find a powerful reason as to why you should and want to continue
DESIRE: Connect with your deepest desires… how hungry are you?

Whenever you get stuck, lost or pessimistic, copy, paste, repeat necessary steps in the list. In focusing on overcoming, your brain develops new and positive pathways that make you more resilient, kind of like building muscle at the gym. The more you work out, the stronger and healthier you become… the better you feel about yourself. The better you feel about yourself, the more good stuff comes your way. Make developing resilience as a life priority. Everything will change for the good.
