359: How to Be a More Resilient Person
Today we’re talking about resilience and what it actually looks like to become a more resilient person, especially on the days when life feels overwhelming. After listening to a podcast about what mentally strong people do on their worst days, we pulled out the ideas that really resonated with us and shared how we’re applying them to our own lives. We’re talking about why avoiding the things that stress us out usually doesn’t make us feel better, how questioning our thoughts can help us get out of black-and-white thinking, and why taking small steps forward can make a bigger difference than waiting for time to heal everything. We also get into the difference between feeling our feelings and ruminating on them, and how the hard things we’ve experienced can ultimately show us just how capable we are.
Key Topics Covered
Why “mental health days” might not be as restorative as we think
Moving from avoidance to small, manageable action
How the way we label ourselves can shape how we see ourselves
Scheduling time to worry instead of letting worry take over
Finding the gift in experiences we never would have chosen
