Before the COVID-19 pandemic, we would wake up, open our smartphones, go to work, open smartphones, react our way through the insanity that is our inbox, open smartphones again, stay busy, open smartphones, again and again, sleep, and do it all over again. Some days were fantastic, some days were meh days, and most were somewhere in between. But were we moving forward, or just running in circles?
What if you could be freed from this circle with a reset—a chance once and for all to define the life you want and create a path to get there, all while building resilience along the way? We can
Resilience is a muscle, and this is your chance to grow it.
Here are the strategies that will help us not only survive these tough times but also become smarter and resilient all along.
Establish a resilient mindset
A resilient mindset is a set of conscious and unconscious beliefs that impact how you see yourself, how you interact with others, and how you respond in times of uncertainty. Your story could also be one of strength. You have survived the worst things that have ever happened to you. You have lost loved ones, faced career setbacks, had your heartbroken, and had your share of disappointments. Yet here you stand, stronger, smarter, and more determined than ever. You can look back with perspective and see how you’ve grown.
Setup your priorities
We have become efficient at prioritizing our schedules. Scheduling our priorities seems to have taken a back seat. The goal is to be deliberate and intentional about how you invest your time. This is the time to reconnect with family and friends. This is the time to do things that support your physical and mental health. This is the time to establish new business goals. This is the time. Use this time productively to get back to what is truly important.
Find the shed of positivity despite our circumstances
The most resilient people proactively cultivate positive emotions like gratitude and optimism. This offsets the negativity bias and primes your brain to start scanning for the good things. When we attune our attention to the good things, we find more of them because we find what we’re looking for.
Seek out our guiding light
We see many people who have lost their way, completely disregarding the light that guides them to their right path. These can guide you, your decisions, and your daily behavior. It can be your purpose, your “why”. Life is like the ocean. Some days are beautiful with calm seas. Other days are torrential storms with crashing waves that will suck you under. Having a lighthouse will keep you swimming in the right direction.
Utilizing being mindfulness
It helps us become aware of your thoughts, feelings, habits, and behaviors at the moment, in order to steer yourself toward better responses and outcomes. It means being proactive and deliberate about the choices you make and the habits you practice, throughout your day, week, month, year, and your entire life. Building your resilience muscle means living purposefully rather than drifting into automatic—life’s screensaver mode.
