Bounce back
Whether it’s the feeling of being left behind when colleagues have been promoted, a merger threatening your job security or your partner’s left you for your next door neighbour, the real challenge is turning a negative situation into a positive one. It’s how you react that counts.
Developing resilience to the stresses and strains that life throws at us begins with being able to question the beliefs that propel us into unconstructive thinking – be it ‘everything always goes wrong for me’ or ‘it’s because I’m not good enough’.
With the right tools, we can start to develop a strategy for dealing with setbacks. Using these tools regularly helps to strengthen our natural resilience so that we can bounce through life.
