Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Jackson read here and welcome back to work smart,
not hard. Today we're diving into something super important, building
resilience during those tough times. You know when life throws
a curveball or maybe even a whole dang baseball game
at You ever felt like you were just barely holding

(00:20):
it together? You know that feeling when everything seems to
be going wrong all at once and you just want
to curl up in a ball and hide. Yeah, I've
been there, we all have. But here's the thing. Life
is full of ups and downs, right, and the ability
to bounce back from those tough moments. That's what resilience

(00:41):
is all about. It's not about being invincible or never
feeling down. It's about having the inner strength and determination
to keep going even when things get really hard. So
how do we build this resilience muscle. Well, I've got
five key takeaways for you today that can seriously level

(01:03):
up your game. First off, except that setbacks are a
part of life. Don't beat yourself up about them, just
acknowledge them and move on. Think of it like this,
Every obstacle is an opportunity to learn and grow. You
wouldn't try to climb a mountain without expecting some bumps
in the road right. Second, focus on what you can control.

(01:28):
There are going to be things outside your control, but
you can always control your attitude and your actions. Instead
of dwelling on the negatives, shift your energy towards solutions.
Remember that classic movie line, just keep swimming. That's resilience
in action. Third, cultivate a positive mindset. Easier said than done, right,

(01:52):
but seriously, practicing gratitude can make a world of difference.
When you focus on the good things in your life,
even the small ones, it helps to shift your perspective
and build that inner strength. Think about it like this,
Negativity is like a heavy backpack dragging you down. Positivity

(02:14):
is like having a jet pack lifting you up and
propelling you forward. Next up, surround yourself with supportive people.
We all need a tribe, a crew of awesome humans
who believe in us and have our backs. Sharing your
struggles with trusted friends or family can lighten the load

(02:34):
and remind you that you're not alone. Think about it
like this, Resilience is like building a strong house. You
need a solid foundation, and those supportive people are your
bricks and mortar. Finally, remember to take care of yourself.
This isn't just about bubble baths and face masks, although

(02:55):
those are nice. It's about prioritizing your physical and mental health.
Get enough sleep, eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and make
time for activities that bring you joy. You can't pour
from an empty cup. Right now, let me tell you
a quick story that perfectly illustrates these points. A few

(03:20):
years ago, I was working on a big project and
it felt like everything was going wrong. Deadlines were looming,
clients were demanding, and I was running on fumes. I
felt completely overwhelmed and ready to throw in the towel.
But then I remembered all of these things we've talked
about today, focusing on what I could control, surrounding myself

(03:43):
with supportive people, and taking care of myself. I took
a deep breath, broke down the project into smaller, manageable tasks,
reached out to my team for help, and made sure
to get enough sleep and exercise. Slowly, but sure, things
started to turn around. So what's the takeaway. It's not

(04:05):
about avoiding the tough times because they're inevitable. It's about
building your resilience so you can weather the storms and
come out stronger on the other side. Remember you are
capable of amazing things. Don't let anything stand in your way. Now,
go out there and conquer those challenges with a resilient

(04:27):
heart at a positive mind. And hey, if you find

your friends. Let's spread the word about resilience and empower
each other to thrive no matter what life throws our way.
Until next time, keep hustling smart, not hard. This podcast
