🌈 Be Resilient! Don’t let life knock you down! 🌈

We all face hardships and moments of stress, fear and failure. During these tough moments in your life, you should take the opportunity to practice resilience. Like all skills in life, the more you practice it, the more natural it will become.

Here are a couple of traits I’ve noticed that all resilient people have in common.

Have perspective
In the heat of the moment, it is easy to blow up your situation and make it a bigger deal than what is really is. If you freak out, then it will be very hard to maintain composure let alone bounce back. Take a deep breath, calm down and then try to look at the situation with perspective. Ask yourself, will this affect me in a day, week, month, etc, it will really help you gain perspective.

Laugh about it
Having a good sense of humor in a shitty situation can really loosen things up! Life is made up of many learning lessons, and if you can have fun while learning, you are one step closer to bouncing back faster.

Have courage
It can be easy to avoid a situation after making a bad mistake. Find courage in yourself to get up and push through your fear. Once you get past it, you will feel empowered that you did it!

Learn from it
Like I said earlier, life is just full of lessons. The only way to truly bounce back and move forward with your life is to find the meaning and lesson learned. It is important to constantly challenge yourself to grow, so you can improve and adapt.
