How to Become More Resiliant
The first way to become resilient is through mindfulness. It is refusing to see a problem as unending. When problems or negative situations occur in your life, don’t fall into the trap of believing that they’re going to last forever. This lets a hopeless mindset develop. See them as challenges, as opportunity to change. This opens up your mind to possibilities, endless possibilities.
When you have problems, they can sometimes interfere with your life plans or impede your goals. However, you shouldn’t give up and quit going after what you want. If you do that, you’re effectively saying that your problems are bigger than your ability to overcome them. Your fear of change will increase. See it as a challenge and you can move mountains, one step at a time.
Develop the mindset of “this is temporary.” List ways or action steps that you can take to overcome the situation. Next, embrace change. If there’s one guarantee in life, it’s that no two days are the same.
You might have to move from your home of 10 years because of a partner’s job change. Don’t feel disappointed about having to move house. Look at it as an opportunity to start something new and embrace the change. You never know what opportunities may open up for you.
The third way to become resilient is to refuse to sit still. When you want something in life or you have a dream, don’t allow inaction to take it from you. Every day, do something that takes you closer to achieving your goal.
If your goal is to own your own business, this might be something like signing up for a business class or writing out a business plan. If you want to get healthier, it could be something simple such as getting rid of the food in your house that causes you to binge eat.
The next thing you should do is make decisions sooner rather than later. Avoidance doesn’t solve issues and it doesn’t get you where you need to be. If there’s a relationship issue you need to handle, do it. If you’re interested in talking to someone, make a move and speak up.
While you’re making decisions, resolve to change your self-view. Many people think far less of themselves than they should. You downplay your accomplishments. You look at the negative things about yourself by thinking you’re too awkward, too big, or too small.
You don’t like the way you look, the way your voice sounds. However, by learning how to think of yours
elf in a positive way, you bolster not only your self-esteem but your belief that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to.
Finally, negative things happen, look for the positive. There’s always something good to find about everything that happens. However, the problem is that most people focus on the negative and then miss the good. That’s not to say that everything that comes into your life will feel good but it can work out for your good.
