Hey everyone, Asher Blake here and welcome back to from
Stuck to Savage. You know that feeling when life throws
you a curveball. Maybe it's a setback at work, a
relationship hiccup, or just one of those days where everything
seems to go wrong. We've all been there. Today, we're
diving deep into the superpower that helps us bounce back
from anything, resilience. Resilience isn't about being tough and ignoring
(00:23):
your feelings. It's about having the strength to navigate challenges,
learn from them, and come out even stronger on the
other side. Think of it like this. Life is a
roller coaster with its ups and downs, twists and turns.
The key is not to avoid the drops or screen
your head off, but to ride that wave with grace,
known you have the strength to handle whatever comes your way. Now,
(00:46):
building resilience isn't a one size fits all kind of thing.
It's about finding what works for you, crafting strategies that
fit your personality and your life. But there are some
universal principles that can help us all become more resilient.
First up, mindset matters. Ever heard the phrase your thoughts
shape your reality? Well, it's true when you face a challenge,
(01:08):
how do you talk to yourself? Do you go down
a spiral of negativity or do you try to reframe
the situation in a more positive light. Cultivating a growth
mindset embracing challenges as opportunities for learning and growth can
make all the difference. Remember, failure is not the opposite
of success, It's part of the journey. Second, connection is key.
(01:30):
We humans are social creatures wired to connect with others.
Strong relationships provide support, a sense of belonging, and a
buffer against stress. Make time for your loved ones. Nurture
those connections and remember that you're not alone in this
crazy ride called life. Sharing your struggles can lighten the
load and remind you that everyone faces challenges, even the
(01:51):
seemingly perfect people. Third, self care is non negotiable. You
wouldn't run a car on empty right. Well, Our bodies
and minds need care and attention. To prioritize activities that
nourish your soul, whether it's exercise, meditation, spending time in nature,
indulging in a good book, or simply taking a break
(02:11):
to recharge. Remember, self care isn't selfish. It's essential for
building resilience and showing up as your best self. Fourth,
embrace flexibility. Life rarely goes according to plan. The ability
to adapt, to change and roll with the punches is
crucial for building resilience. Instead of resisting what you can't control,
(02:32):
focus on what you can your attitude, your actions, and
your response to challenges. Remember that flexibility isn't about being
a pushover. It's about being resourceful and finding creative solutions. Finally,
celebrate small victories. It's easy to get caught up in
the big picture and forget to acknowledge our progress along
the way. Take time to celebrate your wins, no matter
(02:54):
how small they may seem. Every step forward, every hurdle overcome,
is a testament to your resilience and a reason to
feel proud of yourself. Let me tell you a story
about my friend Sarah. She's an incredible artist, but she
was struggling with self doubt and fear of failure. She'd
put so much pressure on herself to create masterpieces that
any less than perfect peace would send her into a
(03:17):
spiral of negativity. Then one day she realized something Art
isn't about perfection, it's about expression and connection. She started
focusing on enjoying the process celebrating every stroke of color
and exploring new ideas without judgment. She even started sharing
her work online, embracing the vulnerability of putting herself out there. Now,
(03:38):
Sarah is thriving. She's found her voice as an artist,
built a community of supporters, and rediscovered the joy of creating.
Her story reminds us that resilience isn't about being fearless.
It's about facing our fears, learning from our setbacks, and
finding the courage to keep going even when things get tough.
So remember building resilience as a journey, not a destination.
(04:01):
It takes time, effort, and self compassion, but the rewards
are worth it. By embracing these principles, cultivating a positive mindset,
nurturing connections, practicing self care, being flexible, and celebrating small victories,
you can build your own inner strength and navigate life's
challenges with grace and resilience. Now, I want to hear
(04:22):
from you what strategies have helped you build resilience in
your own life. Share your thoughts and stories in the
comments below or on social media. Let's keep this conversation
going and support each other on our journeys to becoming
