Resilience

6/21/2020

There are many key components for getting along in this life. Life, as we know it, has its ups and downs. During the ups we are flying high and soaring. But, what about the downs? How do we rebound from the curve balls that life throws at us? In one word. Resi

Resilience is defined by the Merriam-Webster as “the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens.” Guess what? Every one of us possess this power of resilience. The pace of rebounding from a setback may look different for us individually, but we can all rebound. There are some occurrences that will leave us feeling unsure of how to bounce back after an awful experience. Now, you will not view every bad experience the same. However, there will be actions or events that will have you wondering how exactly will you return to a space of wholeness again. Try using the following tidbits as a guide.

1. Get the Lesson: Whatever you are going through you are to glean a lesson from the experience. Perhaps you need to change your attitude or disconnect from a relationship.

2. Develop your Tenacity: This is your persistence and the fighter in you. Most of us know that we instinctively have a fight or flight response. There will be moments where you have no choice, but to fight. Use this fighter in you to build up your character.

3. Things Will Get Better: You have to know this for yourself. The optimistic view is that if you are already feeling at your lowest, things can only go up from here.

4. Reflection: After you dance with your varying emotions, set them aside, and look deeply into the matter. Are you able to see your role in the matter? Were any signs present that you ignored of shirked aside? This is also a key moment to not allow bitterness to build up.

5. Resolve: Resolve that you will bounce back better than you were before the event. This may not occur overnight and you may go through some other transitional phases, but you can and will be stronger once you get out of the trenches.

Remember, everything in its due time and season, but be encouraged to stay strong to the best of your capabilities until life is once again golden for you.

Living Unfearfully

Let’s jump right in. To begin, living unfearfully is not indicative of not heeding warnings. Fear is a beneficial and life sustaining mechanism. It is there to alert you of danger. To that end, there are those that allow fear to reign in their life, in affect allowing it to become a paralyzing condition. Truth be told, fear simply vibes off our own energy. While it is there to offer us protection, it is not savvy enough to discern between a real threat and nervousness.

What is it about fear that allows it to have such a stronghold in our lives.? Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of the unknown. Fear of the known. There is not a rule that exists that indicates we only get one win in life. You can have as many wins as you want, if you are willing to put in the work. Learn to shift your focus from what can go wrong to what can go right. In fact, learn to dismiss the concept of this idea of wrong. Everything is an opportunity to learn and grow – a lesson for your overall improvement.

Below are some steps to take to begin moving towards living unfearfully.
  1. Exploration. Be willing to try something different. A new way of doing things. Something that challenges you and the status quo on something. 
  2. Give fear a name. Yes, you read that correctly…give your fear a name. Personalize it because it is not going anywhere. Remember, it does serve a purpose. Make fear your friend, not your foe.
  3. Check it. Tell your fear when it’s protection is not required. Make it go have a seat while you work to unlock areas of unexplored potential.

​To embrace the concept fully, we must learn to live a life with unabashed courage, throwing caution to the wind, and live unfearfully to achieve our big vision picture for our lives. This may not come to your overnight but continue to work at it and see how things begin to take shape in your life.


Wishing you a golden week,

Overcoming Our Fears

5/29/2019

The acronym for the term fear is ‘False Expectations Appearing Real.’ Let’s further dissect what this means. Fear is defined as “a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc…whether the threat is real OR imagined.” Here, I am going to focus on the ‘imagined’ aspect of this definition. When it comes to our aspirations, dreams, and goals the only real threat to making strides and achievements is ourselves. I speak from experience, when I say that we will convince ourselves of a million and one ways of why we cannot do something. I think this is normal; however, it should not deter what you want to achieve. But, what typically will happen is that you will have someone who gives an opinion that aligns with your fear and you find yourself stuck, avoiding, or tossing your dream altogether. It’s your dream, not theirs. Do not look for a co-conspirator in killing your dream. Furthermore, it is your dream. What would they know about what you want to achieve in that arena?
 
The reality is that if you surround yourself with individuals pursuing the same course you will quickly discover that your inhibitions are not solely your own. Your cohorts will have had the same thought process and issues. Thus, they will give you a fix to your “mind” problems (yes, it is all in your head) and encourage you every step of the way. This is what I am discovering as I pursue writing. There is not a problem that I have cajoled in my head that is exclusive or new to the writing community. In fact, my instructor will say, “I have a fix for that.” and “Oh, I have a fix for that too.” If I did not have her to say she has a fix, guess what? The books on writing and writing guides have a fix also. I have yet to find something in this particular area where an issue I am experiencing is exclusive and no one knows what I am talking about. So, get out of your own way today and start living your dream.
 
Tips:
  1. Dream big.
  2. Most dreams do not happen overnight. Be persistent in pursuing your course.
  3. Ensure that you are actively working towards achieving your dream.
  4. Step outside of your comfort zone. No one said the road would be easy.
  5. Follow your heart. People are different…my work life is different from my dream life; these are two separate entities for me. For others that fast-track career is their dream and they thrive from it.
  6. Share It. You are not looking for feedback or advice. You’re just simply putting out into the universe what you want to achieve in your lifetime. But, people who are in your corner will ask and inquire about your progress, thus making you accountable.
  7. Your dream is about doing something that you love.
  8. It will not be easy, but push ahead anyway.
  9. Think positive thoughts – no negative energy.
  10. Your dream, in essence, is your passion.

“We spend most of our lives cutting down our ambitions because the world has told us to think small. Dreams express what your soul is telling you, so as crazy as your dream might seem–even to you–I don’t care: You have to let that out.” ~ Eleni Gabre-Madhim
