Today,

I want to talk about something super important,

Something that I am afraid I am seeing shrinking in this human civilization.

I will give you 3 simple steps to build your resilience today and improve a little bit every day.

And I want to start by saying,

With enough resilience you can overcome everything.

In a way this is true,

But to get there you need to work your way up.

If you are listening to this,

And only with this alone,

You are already starting to build your resilience.

How?

Because you are interested,

You are projecting intentions to be more resilient,

Aren't you?

When you want something,

And you feel it from your heart chakra,

You already make a difference.

This is why emotions are so powerful and so important.

And I mean it,

By feeling it,

You are already sending it to the universe,

And triggering the principle of mentalism to promote more resilience in your life.

You can't imagine how positive is that you are starting to grow your resilience because sadly a lot of people are doing otherwise.

Most people are less and less resilient,

And this is hurting society as a whole.

So please help the world's resilience by sharing this because it will help a lot of people,

And I will be super grateful if you do.

So first of all,

What's resilience?

Sometimes people confuse resilience with always being happy.

And while the two go almost together holding hands,

They are not the same.

I want to have a more personal,

Casual and even spiritual approach to resilience.

Here we will have a practical approach and 3 simple steps for you to get started in maximizing your resilience at work,

For example,

As well as in other life situations.

To keep it simple,

Resilience is the capability to stand up after you get smacked to the ground.

We have plenty of positive and negative experiences throughout life,

And some can be exhausting.

A lot of times you need to face bumps on the road,

And sometimes it feels to be bump after bump after bump,

And then some more.

Here you have two choices,

To keep up and never reach your destination,

Or to keep driving through the bumps.

But if you give up,

You will always feel like you did.

But if you choose a second option,

You sure know how to find the strength to be able to keep going,

Meaning that you have some resilience here,

And you can't imagine how much of a difference this makes.

The best thing here is that after hitting your head enough times while driving your small car through the bumps,

You will come up with a better solution to make the driving smoother,

Aka building resilience.

I want to say that I am concerned about stress and resilience in this society we all live in.

It seems that the masses are growing impatient,

And less and less resilient.

Can you relate?

Ask yourself honestly if you need everything now,

Especially when it is something that for example broke down or turned into a problem that needs fixing.

Social resilience is in danger,

And in a way,

Perhaps zombie corporations might want this for productivity success,

But I am telling you that it doesn't serve your highest purpose.

You must stop focusing on the glass being half empty.

Don't be that ungrateful,

Please.

From here,

You can already start building resilience,

Because from a failure you will see it as an opportunity to grow as the least.

Sometimes a failure can yield you to new opportunities,

But you need to keep going for this to happen.

Try to not give up on anything just for a week.

Too hard?

Ok,

Don't worry,

Apply this only to your hobbies or something you enjoy.

In a way,

You will see yourself stronger,

Especially if you overcome a challenge thanks to keeping up with it.

If you start with something small,

Keep trying until you succeed.

It will likely arrive soon.

Once you succeed a few times,

Try something harder,

Such as a task at work for example.

While I feel that resilience and mental toughness are best friends,

They are not the same.

Imagine a huge wall surrounding a castle.

One of its purposes is to take hits and stand strong.

This is simply a definition for mental toughness.

On the other hand,

Resilience could be defined as a boxing situation.

Like boxing against a dummy that regardless of how many hits it takes,

It will always go back to its original position without breaking down,

Standing as strong as always.

These two obviously work in complete union,

Because greater mental toughness enables more resilience.

It is sort of an adaptability and resilience growing together.

You know how to stand stronger after getting a hit.

You will also learn how to perhaps avoid the next hit already,

Or perhaps the further one.

You will be adjusting to your challenges,

Understanding them better and eventually overcoming them.

Once you do,

You grow stronger,

And you will be even more ready for the next challenge.

But you cannot be only strong and rely on almost unbreakable defenses.

Even the mightiest wall may collapse,

And if it doesn't,

You need to be prepared as well.

You need to know how to recover.

And sometimes,

Taking hits is necessary for you to start to build resilience.

Resilience is essential for you to keep in mind.

It is simple,

But you need to keep it.

Knowing more about the subject also helps too.

So let's go to the three simple steps on building resilience.

The step one,

Remember to feel connected and believe in your abilities.

Let's go back to when I told you about the glass being half full.

Here is where it applies,

Especially at the beginning.

Let's say that you think you are not so good at biking because you didn't make it to the top 10 this year.

Think of something you would never do in life because you don't like it.

And you certainly know you don't have and you don't even want that skill.

Do you feel a better biker already?

You certainly have the skill.

You only need to train more.

Use this as a cornerstone approach every time you fail.

And you will keep going.

If you think about it,

You will keep pushing yourself and keep doing what you love to do,

Biking.

Maybe you get to a point where you are satisfied with your performance and you don't care for competition anymore.

Ultimately,

This will make you stronger because you left the ego behind and now you only keep getting better because you love it and you keep practicing,

No pressure.

You can apply this to everything in life enabling progress on everything you pursue,

Despite the attempts.

Step 2.

Be optimistic and embrace change.

Life is all about progress and change whether you like it or not.

If you manage to surf the wave,

You are in a fantastic position.

But certainly,

You will not stop focusing so you won't fall off the wave.

You need to be ready for everything here and if you manage well,

You will continue surfing the wave.

Otherwise,

You will need to continue getting on top of that board and try again.

The same goes for example at work.

You can be on the top and you will likely continue to be if you embrace change and you keep up.

You will likely have little to no control over many things in your professional and personal life.

There is free will and there are people,

A lot,

And by a lot I mean a lot that seem to act through life with no reasoning.

Sadly,

These individuals can hurt society and you need to both adapt and learn to be above what brings you down.

However,

You shouldn't live in fear,

So you need to make sure you still project positivity versus focusing on potential negative outcomes.

Take this as another cornerstone approach every time worry starts to build up.

Step 3.

Make easier goals with many checkpoints and celebrate small victories.

Sometimes,

What you need to build resilience is for experiencing some positivity for a change.

If you make your only goal to reach the end of the line,

You are in trouble.

Sure,

This should be your goal,

But not the only one,

Otherwise,

Challenge after challenge will make you see that this end of the line is so far away that you will give up.

Instead,

Make small and reasonable goals so that when adding them all together,

You will be closer to that end of the line.

Here,

You can be twice as happy.

You can be happy because you have reached a certain checkpoint,

But also you can be happy because you added to the overall goal and now you are closer to it.

This way,

You will never focus on what is yet to be accomplished,

But on what you are accomplishing right now.

Of course,

You need to be happy with yourself for accomplishing things.

There is no better way to add small victories and finish many checkpoints.

Take this as another cornerstone approach to delays and unfulfilled anticipation.

Emotionally,

Resilient means to lie on also having many resources for quick recovery,

As well as perseverance to keep growing a stronger skin when it hurts.

However,

This doesn't come out of the blue,

As with everything it needs practice.

Now you have some solid ideas to move forward,

And even if you succumb to failure,

Don't be upset.

You have noticed and you are already trying to stand up.

There is no better resilience than this,

So you should be proud of yourself,

And I mean it.

As some final thoughts on the importance of resilience,

I want to share some quick points for you to keep into account to positively contribute to your resilience.

As I shared before,

It is not about making it harder for you to build muscle.

To avoid lessons and even bigger roadblocks and long-term problems,

You need to start with smaller weights.

However,

Unfortunately,

Sometimes you cannot choose the weights.

And here is when life throws them at you,

And you don't have other choice but to deal with it.

So make sure to keep the following into account,

Because this way you will ease it.

Coping skills.

There are ways and ways to at least adjust a little.

The most uncomfortable bed in the world is still better than the hard floor.

While you want to aim higher,

If you are on the ground,

You need to take what you have in front of your eyes,

And every little helps to cope better with the bigger problem.

Imagine 10 tiny points of support versus none.

Social support.

Having some support is important,

Whether it's someone around you,

Some friends,

Neighbors,

Or even social support groups available in your neighborhood.

A lot of times,

Sharing your burden makes a huge difference.

Others,

As well as your positive stories,

Will help empower each other greatly,

Contributing to a greater adaptability and resilience.

Importance of self-esteem.

You need to start focusing on what you like more about yourself,

Versus on what you are unhappy with.

Everybody can have a bad day,

And this doesn't mean that you are terrible at what you do.

Sometimes it is not even your fault,

But you need to stand up and check,

And you will only find the drive if you are certain you did a good job.

Empowering your positive traits will enable you to find ways to empower the weaker ones as well.

Effective communication skills.

Sometimes if you need help,

You only have to ask for it.

Sometimes you are reading this,

And you wish to feel better about yourself and your challenges.

As I stated above,

Sharing your burden with those who are willing to help will make things easier.

You need to speak up about your emotions,

Ideas,

And even fears.

You can and will grow stronger by talking,

Sharing experiences,

And reading or listening to others.

So I invite you to leave a comment and share with your story.

From here,

You need to start being more aware of your emotions,

And how you go about life.

You don't need to be an unbreakable resilient person,

But if you become a little stronger every day,

You will see a difference down the line,

And ultimately,

This will make you feel better.

Gods of Light.
