How To Build Resilience In Uncertain Times
 
Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from difficulties. 
 
How quickly you’re able to bounce back from adversity.
 
Bouncebackability if you will.
 
And in more ‘sciencey’ terms it’s psychological flexibility.
 
I like to refer to it as your ability and capacity to cope with what life inevitably throws at you.
 
However, it’s not just bouncing back to where you were but in my opinion springing forward into your next stage of growth where you feel even more strong and unshakable to deal with what life throws at you.
 
Adaptability through times that feel like you’re playing a very consistent game of whack-a-mole. 
 
As soon as one issue is resolved, another one pops up unexpectedly. 
 
Resilience is that feeling of being unshakable.  Less panic and implode, more deep breaths and ‘I can do this’.
 
Basically, the more resilient you can learn to be, the easier every facet of life becomes.
 
Who doesn’t want a bit of that?!
 
Resilience to me is the calm amidst the storm.
 
It doesn’t mean the storm disappears.  It just means you can navigate those choppy waters a lot more steadily and don’t let the fact there’s some choppy waters take over every other area of your life.
 
It’s a learned skill and a muscle to flex and grow and when you put the time in and understand that it WILL grow and WILL develop it makes it that much easier.
 
The growth that happens through the adversity itself is hugely powerful. Post traumatic growth for the win.
 
As I’ve talked about before, I always find it a huge comfort knowing that positive growth comes from being in the weeds of a situation that from the outside does not look or feel great.
 
It’s something I hold on to throughout.
 
That feeling of, ‘I wonder who I get to be on the other side of this.’ And, ‘I wonder what this could lead to for me in the future.’
 
But…You don’t HAVE to be in the thick of things to be able to build your resilience though.
 
Much of it comes down to learning to look at the truth of the situation. 
 
Making sure you’re questioning your perspective and assumptions with curiosity.  Making sure you’re really dealing in reality and not unconscious programming. 
 
The ability to reframe and change the narrative to be about the potential positive lessons and growth you can experience rather than the pain or inconvenience facing you in the moment.
 
We all make mistakes at the end of the day and we all go through hardships.
 
Using the right tools and techniques is also very helpful in cultivating resilience, even when you aren’t in the weeds.  
 
Breathwork is incredible for this.  Specifically for me as a qualified Heartmath coach, Heartmath is my favourite technique and it’s so simple. 
 
We call it heart focused breathing and also a balancing breath.
 
It works specifically with your nerv
