“When we can accurately define and recognize our emotions, we are one step closer to allowing them to visit, stay for a while, and then to pass.”

We’re excited to welcome you back in 2022 and a new season of the podcast. Today, we talk about resilience and bouncing back. Recently, we’ve had many conversations with people who are facing difficult challenges like this neverending pandemic, changes in the job market, or conflicts at work.

 

If you also had some challenges in your life recently, then we want to share a few tools and practices that can help you tackle these challenges and plan a brighter future.

 

 

• Sit with Your Feelings

 

A good practice is to name and acknowledge the emotions that you’re feeling. Underneath your frustration, there might be fear, anger, or jealousy. 

 

 

• Ask Yourself Thought-provoking, Deeper Questions to Resolve These Feelings

 

“What do you really want to say to your friends, family, and yourself?”

“What do you need to forgive?”

“What do you need at this moment to move forward?”

 

 

• Remind Yourself of Who You Really Are

 

Create a “Badass” list. Write down all the things that you give yourself credit for and all the challenges that you overcame. Practice self-love.

 

 

• Envision a Better Future

 

Reflect on the question: “What do you want to create?” These could be feelings, thoughts, or achievements. 

Other helpful questions when planning your future could be: “What would a person who is successfully creating these things choose? What do you need to believe in order to achieve this vision?”

 

 

• Create a Reset Plan for Yourself

 

Draw and redraw boundaries and prioritize self-care.
