Bouncing back from adversity - How to build resilience?

Workplaces are often ever-changing and stressful environments, and the challenges they present can truly test a person’s tenacity. What’s interesting though is that some people not only comfortably ride out these waves of difficulty, but they even find success in them. Resilience is defined as individual's ability to bounce back from adversity. It really just encompasses our ability to emerge from struggle without any kind of significant impact.

It's really looking to find that positive side of things that silver lining and an opportunity in any challenge that might come up. Resilience really comes down to regulating our emotions when bad things happen. And that really just relates to how do we manage our energy? How do we use the resource of our time to our best advantage, and it's as simple as just, you know, equipping ourselves with tools that help us become more resilient and be able to manage our energy better, such as just basics of taking care of ourselves, right?

It's working on our mindset, it's again, looking to reframe situations into something that could be an opportunity in disguise. It's also about how compassionate we are towards ourselves. So are we actually kind with ourselves? The answer is mostly NO. We are way more harsher to our self than we would be to a friend or a relative. And this has to stop in order for us to grow and evolve.

Lastly this episode gives us some great tips on how to start being resilient not only in the workplace but also in our daily life!
