Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, listeners. Brooklyn Weston here and welcome back to
modern stoicism. Time is tools for today's challenges. Ever, feel
like your career path is more of a roller coaster
than a smooth highway. We've all been there. One minute,
Y're on top of the world, crushing goals, feeling invincible.
The next spam a curveball hits, and suddenly you're questioning everything.

(00:24):
Lay offs, unexpected setbacks, even that dreaded we need to
talk meeting. Career challenges are a constant part of the game.
But guess what this Isn't about accepting those twists and
turns as just another day at the office. Nope, Today
we're diving into the heart of resilience, learning how to
not only survive, but drive in the face of any
career storm. Because let's be real, building resilience isn't about

(00:48):
pretending everything is sunshine and rainbows. It's about acknowledging those
tough times, embracing the lessons they bring, and coming out
stronger on the other side. Think of it like this,
Every challenge you face is an opportunity to level up
your skills, expand your perspective, and ultimately become a more
badass version of yourself. So buckle up because we are

(01:10):
but to unpack five key dickaways that will help you
build and shake your resilience in your career. One. Control
what you can, except what you can't. This is a
stoic principle that's pure gold. You know those things outside
of your control, that project getting canceled, a competitive stealing
the spotlight. Sometimes life just throws youu curveballs. Accepting those

(01:33):
things instead of battling against them. Freeze up your energy
to focus on what truly matters your own actions, your attitude,
and your response to any situation. Two. Embrace the growth mindset.
Think of every challenge as a chance to learn, adapt,
and grow. When things get tough, don't say this is impossible.

(01:54):
Instead ask yourself, what can I learn from this? How
can I use this experience to become even stronger? Remember,
resilience isn't about avoiding failure, It's about bouncing back from
it with renewed determination. Three focus on your values. When
things get messy, your values act as your compass. What
truly matters to you in your career. Is it creativity, impact, collaboration,

(02:18):
or maybe something else. Entirely keep those values front and center.
They'll help you make decisions that align with your purpose,
even when the path a head seems unclear. Far Cultivate
a support system. You don't have to go through this alone.
Build a network of mentors, colleagues, friends or family who
can offer encouragement, advice, and a listening ear. Sharing your

(02:42):
struggles and celebrating your winds with others creates a sense
of community and share a purpose that can make all
the difference when facing tough times. Five. Practice self care
like it to your superpar Remember, resilience isn't just about
gritting your teeth and powering through. It's also about taking
care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Make time for

(03:04):
activities that nourish you, whether it's exercise, meditation, spending time
and nature, or simply catching up with loved ones. When
you prioritize self care, you build a stronger foundation to
handle whatever challenge is come your way. Okay, let me
paint a picture. Imagine you are working on this big project,
pouring your heart and soul into it. You've got deadlines looming,

(03:26):
unexpected roadblocks popping up, and the pressure is mounting. You
start to feel that familiar not in your stomach, self
doubt creeping in. But remember those five takeaways we just discussed.
You take a deep breath, reminding yourself that you can
control your attitude and response, not the external factors. Your
focused on your values, remembering why this project matters to you.

(03:49):
You reach out to your mentor for advice, gaining fresh
perspective and support, And most importantly, you prioritize self care,
taking short breaks throughout the date, getting enough sleep, and
making time for something that brings you joy. Suddenly, that
not in your stomach lusons the challenge feels less staunting,
and you're filled with renewed energy and determination to tackle

(04:10):
it head on. That's the power of resilience. So here's
the takeaway. Building resilience isn't about wishing first smooth career path.
It's about the cripping yourself with the tools to navigate
the inevitable bumps in the road, emerging stronger, wiser, and
more prepared for whatever comes next. Remember, your career journey
is a marathon, not a sprint. Embrace the challenges, learn

(04:34):
from them, and keep moving forward. Now, tell me what's
