mental health first aid responders. Amazing guy to get ready
to feel inspired, get ready to feel like you can
make a difference, and get ready to feel Joseph Bonner
Show starts.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Now, Hey, what's going on you guys? This is Joseph
Bonner and you are listening to The Joseph Bonner Show.
Welcome to another episode, and I want to get everyone
a nice one. Welcome. Today we're gonna be talking about
(00:46):
five ways to build resilience. Now. I know that you
guys know my platform, and I don't like to, you know,
play around too much when it comes to getting into
a topic. I'd like to jump right into it because
I know that you're busy, you have things to do,
and you're looking for some inspiration, a quick pick me up.
(01:08):
And you know, I want to just say this already
because I already know that you're taking the time to
listen to this podcast. You've probably been here before and
no doubt you consistently have put in work to make
changes in your life. You've put in work to build
(01:28):
your relationships, You've put in work to make amends. You've
put in work to cultivate positive qualities that positively impact
not just your own personal life, but also your professional life.
And so I know that I'm speaking to somebody who
has shown amazing resilience despite so much you have faced
(01:48):
in your life. So I want this episode just to
be just a gentle reminder of why you're amazing and
why you have to keep going forward and encourage you
just don't give up now. One of the things that
you probably already do wi which leads to our first
topic on five ways to build resilience, and that's cultivating
a positive mindset. You know, sometimes we're bombarded by so
(02:11):
much negativity on social media. It could be you know,
naysayers even within our own personal network, who will try
to spend something positive and make it negative. So one guy,
he had said that he would wake up in the morning,
he said he'd say good morning to his significant other
and they would say, well, what's good about it? Well,
that's not a great way to respond to a simple
(02:34):
expression as simple as good morning, right, But sometimes we're
bombarded by negativity, even from people who should be our
biggest supporters and those who should be championing are our
goals and our life and you know with positivity. So
if in order for you to cultivate a positive mindset
despite being surrounded by so many negative individuals, I want
(02:57):
you to focus on your strengths. Don't focus on people's negativity,
don't focus on how they're trying to spend things to
make it so that you have a bad day. What
I'd like to do is I want you to focus
on the good qualities and strengths that you yourself have
and the lessons that you've learned from your experiences, and
I want you to learn how to dwell on these things. Now.
(03:19):
Part of cultivating a positive mindset and focusing on your
strengths is taking some time every single day. It could
be just so about five ten minutes a day where
you're just going to stop and say, hmm, I'm gonna
mention a few positive things about myself that I love,
that I'm proud of, and that I want to keep
working at that I want to keep showing five things.
You can either speak those things out verbally. You can
(03:42):
write those things down in a journal, you can you
compose it in a song, you can compose it as
just the list I mean. But I want you to
practice doing this daily, writing out your positive qualities, because
as you're reminded of who you are, to be more
easier for others to continue to be reminded of who
(04:03):
you are, and you're not going to forget who you are,
and you won't allow people to take you out of
character on a consistent basis, be reminded of your positivity.
So cultivating a positive impact really just focus on your
own positive qualities and remind yourself of those things daily,
because you deserve to applause yourself and to see where
(04:24):
you're doing fantastic at and keep going. We're gonna move
on to point number two, and this one is developing
strong connections. Now, you probably already have some pretty powerful
connections in your life. Probably family friends are just peer
supporters who've been your right or dies as it were,
as you continue to navigate through your life. But when
(04:46):
we're talking about developing strong connections, it's more than just
having people in your corner who you can call and
who you can just kind of reach out to when
you're not feeling greater, when you feel like you need support.
It's actually cultivating those connections. So, for example, if there
is an individual in your life or individuals in your life,
will you truly value you value their love, their support,
(05:08):
their input, their advice. Are you reaching out to them
weekly to remind them of how important they are to you?
Are you reaching out to them weekly to remind them
of their positive qualities? Are you reaching out to them
weekly to let them know, Hey, I see you and
I see what you're doing. Because as you do that,
(05:32):
they are going to sense and see that you do
really recognize their value, the value that they bring to
the relationship. And what's going to happen when they see
that you recognize that value consistently. It's going to develop
into a stronger connection and you just never know where
that will lead to. I've had people reach out to
me just to touch bases with me, just to see
(05:54):
how I was doing, say just to let me know, hey,
I'm being thought of. And it's those individuals who I
will always come to first. With extra opportunity. Oh, we
got to interview coming up in the UK fashion magazine.
I thought about you. And you know why I thought
about them. I thought about them because they thought about me.
(06:15):
It's a connection that I have. It's a strong connection
that I have because they've taken the initiative to remind
me of how valuable I am in their network. And
that's how you do it. So if you have people
who you desire and you want to maintain a strong
connection with, reach out to them on a consistent basis
and let them know just how important they are to you.
(06:36):
That move was just to number three. And this is
practicing self care. Now again I'm preaching to the choir.
You all have done this. You exercise, you diet, you
try to get adequate sleep. You're not only take care
of yourself. Many of you are taking care of family members.
You're taking care of children, you're taking care of significant others.
You're doing a lot, and you are already I can
(07:00):
see self care to a major degree. So what I
want this to be a reminder of is that self
care sometimes remembering is remembering when to say no, when
to tell people I can't. Self care is when to
say you know what, not today. It's not just about
(07:22):
giving giving giving. Sometimes you have to be able to
take those breaks, those mental and emotional breaks that you
rightfully deserve because you do give so much. And that
is how you exercise self care for you. So maybe
you go to the week you go to the gym consistently,
but maybe this week you just need a break from people.
(07:43):
Take that and don't feel bad. Don't feel like, oh,
I'm not reaching my No, you can. You can still
make adjustments in your diet to make sure that you're
staying on your other goals. If you need a break
from individuals so that you can take care of yourself,
do that. You deserve that. Because if you go, go, go, go, go,
and you set your mind to this schedule where you're
(08:05):
trying to make everything happen for yourself and others, and
you don't listen to the warning signs that your body
and your mind is giving you that you're overextended, it's
gonna be calamity. Maybe not for you necessarily, but for
those who are around you.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I mean, you know, people test you too much. They might,
you know, catch something and you might catch a case.
Let's be honest. So practicing self care sometimes means you know,
I got to take a step back, let me take
care of me right now, you know what I mean.
For those of you who know, you know, all right,
we're gonna move on to number four. Embrace change, set goals.
(08:44):
I know that you're already doing that. Change is just
a part of our society now right. Twenty twenty four
was completely different from twenty twenty five. You know, the
economy is changing, our jobs are changing, maybe our responsibilities
are changing. Maybe we're interned into new employment, new rounds
of possibilities, and change is consistent, and you know, sometimes
(09:06):
it does get frustrating because it's like, man, I've built
so much up and I've done so much with regards
to this, and I got to do more? Are you
kidding me? Because you're so exhausted already, You're already you
already feel like you're over extended. And so the biggest
challenge with embracing change and setting new goals is just
(09:28):
getting over the mindset that you've done enough. I get it,
you've done a lot, but I want you to keep
in mind that you know, a river is constantly flowing.
You have new waters and the rivers on a consistent bait.
A river doesn't stay static if the water is stagnant,
what happens, rights is no life. Life cannot thrive with
(09:53):
stagnant water. The ocean's constantly moving, rivers are constantly moving,
and they're full of life. They're teeming with life. It's
the same thing with life. As we go through changes,
we expect change. We expect to be in different places,
we expect a different surrounding, or we're learning to expect it.
(10:14):
We know that in three weeks from now, life's going
to be different. You know, egg prices look at that.
We weren't expected Maybe you weren't expecting that a year ago.
But we can expect more things to change. And so
we have to be willing and ready to adjust as
these tides and as these waves shift. And if we're
(10:34):
ready for it, if we have the mindset like I
can do this, then we're going to set realistic goals
things that we can achieve, and we'll break those things
down into smaller steps. So for example, I'm like, oh man,
egg prices are pretty severe this week. I mean, wow,
you know my family loves eggs, But I mean, are
there alternatives to eggs? Do we have to eat so
many of them? What are some other things that we
(10:55):
can incorporate into our food routine that would be more
cost effective but yet still delicious, you know, so you
start looking for alternatives instead of being at the store
fighting over eggs. You hear about that in the news
where these two people got into a fistfight over some eggs.
It was ridiculous. No, no, we don't do that. We
don't need to do that. We make the adjustment. We
(11:18):
expect these changes because that's how life is, and we
embrace it. We set new goals, we move forward. That
leads off to our fifth point, and that is learn
problem solving skills. Now I'm telling you, like you don't
already do it, I know you do it. You have
a lot of problems solving sales. You've been solving problems
(11:38):
since day one, and a lot of you have been
doing it without any help, you know what I mean.
You've been doing it without the support and maybe a
significant other you've been doing with support maybe of managers
in your office. You've been doing without the support of
those who should have been there to ride for you.
And you've had to learn. You've had to problem solve
and that's how you've gotten where you are today. Am
(12:00):
I right? So when we're talking about problem solving skills.
We're talking about enhancing now your abilities to develop these problems,
solve these skills. I'll give you an example. You know,
typically when we see a problem, we're like, okay, immediately,
what's the solution? Right? We start considering all possible solutions
to a problem, right, which is proactive, which definitely helps.
(12:26):
But when we're talking about problem solving skills, a lot
of us will have to When we were younger, if
we didn't know how to figure out a problem, you know,
we would go to our teacher, or in some cases,
the teacher would be like, hey, did you know that
there are more than one way to solve a problem?
You can solve it. You can solve the same problem
in about three or four or five different ways, and
the teacher would show us how to do that. So
(12:48):
it may not be that you need to learn how
to solve a problem because you already know how to
do it. But there may be a new way that
perhaps you haven't thought about, that would be quicker, that
would be more cost effective, that would be more taxing
on you mentally and emotionally. And how do you develop
those kind of skills? You know, when you step outside
(13:09):
the box and say, hmm, you know, I want to
I've solved this problem before, but this is this Maybe
I'm doing it in the wrong way, maybe I'm not
approaching it the right way. Well. This is sometimes when
people can incorporate business coaches, strategy coaches, they can incorporate
the help of you know, professions in their in their network.
This is when they can tap into, you know, some
of the people who've been writing for them since day one. Right.
(13:32):
And so as you continue to learn and develop your
problems solving these skills, you may find yourselves getting a
lot quicker at solving problems, solving problems in a way
to where it's enhancing your abilities as well as your
overall brand and even your overall mental and emotional wellness
in a much more effective way. So, as you solve
(13:56):
your problems, I want you to stop and reflect and say, hmm,
maybe there's a different way I can do this that
would be easier on me, that would be better for me,
that will be better for everyone involved, and start learning
and developing. And sometimes it requires that we learn new skills.
We might have to, you know, learn AI, we may
have to you know, you know, maybe learn how to
develop you know, websites, and you know, get a little
(14:18):
bit more in tune to the social media thing, right,
figure out how to do this podcasting thing. Whatever you
have to figure out, whatever problem solving skills that you
have to develop so as to be more proactive for
yourself and your well being and your health and your business.
You can do these things, you know. And this is
about This is about resilience, right, This is about you know,
(14:38):
sticking things out in the long run. Well, I do
want you to river to be patient with yourself. Nobody
can develop these skills overnight. It takes time, it takes
takes heart. And again, these are things that you already possess.
I want you to just remember that there are a
lot of positive qualities about yourself. Take the time to
remember and reflect on those things, and remind yourself of
(15:01):
those things daily. Keep building strong connections by reaching out
to those in your network and letting them know how
you value them. And do that every week. It could
be just a little text message here, or a little
message on social media here. Build those connections, let them
get stronger. Practice self care. Remember what that means. Sometimes
you got to say no, not today, are not this week? Right,
(15:25):
embrace change and set goals. Right as rivers and oceans
continue to move forward, they're teeming with life. We're embracing change.
We're not in the store of finding over a's right.
We're not getting out of our car trying to beat
somebody down because they cut us off on the road.
We know people are crazy. No, we set goals. We
embrace change. If I'm slow, if I'm behind and somebody's
going slow, maybe that means I need to, you know,
(15:47):
get up fifteen minutes more earlier to get to work
on time. Or maybe that means I need to change.
You know, the role that I take is that I'm
meeting less crazy people. We embrace change. We go forward. Last,
but not least, we problem solve. We developed that skills
enhancing our ability to make better decisions that will impact
us overall in an emotional and mental way. That's going
(16:10):
to be just something new, something fresh, and demonstrates resilience.
You all are amazing, You all are important, and you
all can be exactly where you want to be in
twenty twenty five. And I want to thank you all

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Now, Hey, what's going on you guys? This is Joseph
Bonner and you are listening to The Joseph Bonner Show.
Welcome to another episode, and I want to get everyone
a nice one. Welcome. Today we're gonna be talking about
(00:46):
five ways to build resilience. Now. I know that you
guys know my platform, and I don't like to, you know,
play around too much when it comes to getting into
a topic. I'd like to jump right into it because
I know that you're busy, you have things to do,
and you're looking for some inspiration, a quick pick me up.
(01:08):
And you know, I want to just say this already
because I already know that you're taking the time to
listen to this podcast. You've probably been here before and
no doubt you consistently have put in work to make
changes in your life. You've put in work to build
(01:28):
your relationships, You've put in work to make amends. You've
put in work to cultivate positive qualities that positively impact
not just your own personal life, but also your professional life.
And so I know that I'm speaking to somebody who
has shown amazing resilience despite so much you have faced
(01:48):
in your life. So I want this episode just to
be just a gentle reminder of why you're amazing and
why you have to keep going forward and encourage you
just don't give up now. One of the things that
you probably already do wi which leads to our first
topic on five ways to build resilience, and that's cultivating
a positive mindset. You know, sometimes we're bombarded by so
(02:11):
much negativity on social media. It could be you know,
naysayers even within our own personal network, who will try
to spend something positive and make it negative. So one guy,
he had said that he would wake up in the morning,
he said he'd say good morning to his significant other
and they would say, well, what's good about it? Well,
that's not a great way to respond to a simple
(02:34):
expression as simple as good morning, right, But sometimes we're
bombarded by negativity, even from people who should be our
biggest supporters and those who should be championing are our
goals and our life and you know with positivity. So
if in order for you to cultivate a positive mindset
despite being surrounded by so many negative individuals, I want
(02:57):
you to focus on your strengths. Don't focus on people's negativity,
don't focus on how they're trying to spend things to
make it so that you have a bad day. What
I'd like to do is I want you to focus
on the good qualities and strengths that you yourself have
and the lessons that you've learned from your experiences, and
I want you to learn how to dwell on these things. Now.
(03:19):
Part of cultivating a positive mindset and focusing on your
strengths is taking some time every single day. It could
be just so about five ten minutes a day where
you're just going to stop and say, hmm, I'm gonna
mention a few positive things about myself that I love,
that I'm proud of, and that I want to keep
working at that I want to keep showing five things.
You can either speak those things out verbally. You can
(03:42):
write those things down in a journal, you can you
compose it in a song, you can compose it as
just the list I mean. But I want you to
practice doing this daily, writing out your positive qualities, because
as you're reminded of who you are, to be more
easier for others to continue to be reminded of who
(04:03):
you are, and you're not going to forget who you are,
and you won't allow people to take you out of
character on a consistent basis, be reminded of your positivity.
So cultivating a positive impact really just focus on your
own positive qualities and remind yourself of those things daily,
because you deserve to applause yourself and to see where
(04:24):
you're doing fantastic at and keep going. We're gonna move
on to point number two, and this one is developing
strong connections. Now, you probably already have some pretty powerful
connections in your life. Probably family friends are just peer
supporters who've been your right or dies as it were,
as you continue to navigate through your life. But when
(04:46):
we're talking about developing strong connections, it's more than just
having people in your corner who you can call and
who you can just kind of reach out to when
you're not feeling greater, when you feel like you need support.
It's actually cultivating those connections. So, for example, if there

will you truly value you value their love, their support,

(05:32):
they are going to sense and see that you do

the relationship. And what's going to happen when they see
that you recognize that value consistently. It's going to develop
into a stronger connection and you just never know where
that will lead to. I've had people reach out to

(06:15):
It's a connection that I have. It's a strong connection
that I have because they've taken the initiative to remind

that's how you do it. So if you have people
who you desire and you want to maintain a strong
connection with, reach out to them on a consistent basis
and let them know just how important they are to you.
(06:36):
That move was just to number three. And this is
practicing self care. Now again I'm preaching to the choir.
You all have done this. You exercise, you diet, you
try to get adequate sleep. You're not only take care
of yourself. Many of you are taking care of family members.
You're taking care of children, you're taking care of significant others.
You're doing a lot, and you are already I can
(07:00):
see self care to a major degree. So what I
want this to be a reminder of is that self
care sometimes remembering is remembering when to say no, when
to tell people I can't. Self care is when to
say you know what, not today. It's not just about
(07:22):
giving giving giving. Sometimes you have to be able to
take those breaks, those mental and emotional breaks that you
rightfully deserve because you do give so much. And that
is how you exercise self care for you. So maybe
you go to the week you go to the gym consistently,
but maybe this week you just need a break from people.
(07:43):
Take that and don't feel bad. Don't feel like, oh,
I'm not reaching my No, you can. You can still
make adjustments in your diet to make sure that you're
staying on your other goals. If you need a break
from individuals so that you can take care of yourself,
do that. You deserve that. Because if you go, go, go, go, go,
and you set your mind to this schedule where you're
(08:05):
trying to make everything happen for yourself and others, and
you don't listen to the warning signs that your body
and your mind is giving you that you're overextended, it's
gonna be calamity. Maybe not for you necessarily, but for
those who are around you.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I mean, you know, people test you too much. They might,
you know, catch something and you might catch a case.
Let's be honest. So practicing self care sometimes means you know,
I got to take a step back, let me take
care of me right now, you know what I mean.
For those of you who know, you know, all right,
we're gonna move on to number four. Embrace change, set goals.
(08:44):
I know that you're already doing that. Change is just
a part of our society now right. Twenty twenty four
was completely different from twenty twenty five. You know, the
economy is changing, our jobs are changing, maybe our responsibilities
are changing. Maybe we're interned into new employment, new rounds
of possibilities, and change is consistent, and you know, sometimes
(09:06):
it does get frustrating because it's like, man, I've built
so much up and I've done so much with regards
to this, and I got to do more? Are you
kidding me? Because you're so exhausted already, You're already you
already feel like you're over extended. And so the biggest
challenge with embracing change and setting new goals is just
(09:28):
getting over the mindset that you've done enough. I get it,
you've done a lot, but I want you to keep
in mind that you know, a river is constantly flowing.
You have new waters and the rivers on a consistent bait.
A river doesn't stay static if the water is stagnant,
what happens, rights is no life. Life cannot thrive with
(09:53):
stagnant water. The ocean's constantly moving, rivers are constantly moving,
and they're full of life. They're teeming with life. It's
the same thing with life. As we go through changes,
we expect change. We expect to be in different places,
we expect a different surrounding, or we're learning to expect it.
(10:14):
We know that in three weeks from now, life's going
to be different. You know, egg prices look at that.
We weren't expected Maybe you weren't expecting that a year ago.
But we can expect more things to change. And so
we have to be willing and ready to adjust as
these tides and as these waves shift. And if we're
(10:34):
ready for it, if we have the mindset like I
can do this, then we're going to set realistic goals
things that we can achieve, and we'll break those things
down into smaller steps. So for example, I'm like, oh man,
egg prices are pretty severe this week. I mean, wow,
you know my family loves eggs, But I mean, are
there alternatives to eggs? Do we have to eat so
many of them? What are some other things that we
(10:55):
can incorporate into our food routine that would be more
cost effective but yet still delicious, you know, so you
start looking for alternatives instead of being at the store
fighting over eggs. You hear about that in the news
where these two people got into a fistfight over some eggs.
It was ridiculous. No, no, we don't do that. We
don't need to do that. We make the adjustment. We
(11:18):
expect these changes because that's how life is, and we
embrace it. We set new goals, we move forward. That
leads off to our fifth point, and that is learn
problem solving skills. Now I'm telling you, like you don't
already do it, I know you do it. You have
a lot of problems solving sales. You've been solving problems
(11:38):
since day one, and a lot of you have been
doing it without any help, you know what I mean.
You've been doing it without the support and maybe a
significant other you've been doing with support maybe of managers
in your office. You've been doing without the support of
those who should have been there to ride for you.
And you've had to learn. You've had to problem solve
and that's how you've gotten where you are today. Am
(12:00):
I right? So when we're talking about problem solving skills.
We're talking about enhancing now your abilities to develop these problems,
solve these skills. I'll give you an example. You know,
typically when we see a problem, we're like, okay, immediately,
what's the solution? Right? We start considering all possible solutions
to a problem, right, which is proactive, which definitely helps.
(12:26):
But when we're talking about problem solving skills, a lot
of us will have to When we were younger, if
we didn't know how to figure out a problem, you know,
we would go to our teacher, or in some cases,
the teacher would be like, hey, did you know that
there are more than one way to solve a problem?
You can solve it. You can solve the same problem
in about three or four or five different ways, and
the teacher would show us how to do that. So
(12:48):
it may not be that you need to learn how
to solve a problem because you already know how to
do it. But there may be a new way that
perhaps you haven't thought about, that would be quicker, that
would be more cost effective, that would be more taxing
on you mentally and emotionally. And how do you develop
those kind of skills? You know, when you step outside
(13:09):
the box and say, hmm, you know, I want to
I've solved this problem before, but this is this Maybe
I'm doing it in the wrong way, maybe I'm not
approaching it the right way. Well. This is sometimes when
people can incorporate business coaches, strategy coaches, they can incorporate
the help of you know, professions in their in their network.
This is when they can tap into, you know, some
of the people who've been writing for them since day one. Right.
(13:32):
And so as you continue to learn and develop your
problems solving these skills, you may find yourselves getting a
lot quicker at solving problems, solving problems in a way
to where it's enhancing your abilities as well as your
overall brand and even your overall mental and emotional wellness
in a much more effective way. So, as you solve
(13:56):
your problems, I want you to stop and reflect and say, hmm,
maybe there's a different way I can do this that
would be easier on me, that would be better for me,
that will be better for everyone involved, and start learning
and developing. And sometimes it requires that we learn new skills.
We might have to, you know, learn AI, we may
have to you know, you know, maybe learn how to
develop you know, websites, and you know, get a little
(14:18):
bit more in tune to the social media thing, right,
figure out how to do this podcasting thing. Whatever you
have to figure out, whatever problem solving skills that you
have to develop so as to be more proactive for
yourself and your well being and your health and your business.
You can do these things, you know. And this is
about This is about resilience, right, This is about you know,
(14:38):
sticking things out in the long run. Well, I do
want you to river to be patient with yourself. Nobody
can develop these skills overnight. It takes time, it takes
takes heart. And again, these are things that you already possess.
I want you to just remember that there are a
lot of positive qualities about yourself. Take the time to
remember and reflect on those things, and remind yourself of
(15:01):
those things daily. Keep building strong connections by reaching out
to those in your network and letting them know how
you value them. And do that every week. It could
be just a little text message here, or a little
message on social media here. Build those connections, let them
get stronger. Practice self care. Remember what that means. Sometimes
you got to say no, not today, are not this week? Right,
(15:25):
embrace change and set goals. Right as rivers and oceans
continue to move forward, they're teeming with life. We're embracing change.
We're not in the store of finding over a's right.
We're not getting out of our car trying to beat
somebody down because they cut us off on the road.
We know people are crazy. No, we set goals. We
embrace change. If I'm slow, if I'm behind and somebody's
going slow, maybe that means I need to, you know,
(15:47):
get up fifteen minutes more earlier to get to work
on time. Or maybe that means I need to change.
You know, the role that I take is that I'm
meeting less crazy people. We embrace change. We go forward. Last,
but not least, we problem solve. We developed that skills
enhancing our ability to make better decisions that will impact
us overall in an emotional and mental way. That's going
(16:10):
to be just something new, something fresh, and demonstrates resilience.

all can be exactly where you want to be in
twenty twenty five. And I want to thank you all
