What do you do if your emotional resilience is tested by challenges and setbacks?

How would you know you're resilient if you never tested it? We need setbacks to help us know what we are really made of. Try to see this as an opportunity to put all the learnings to good use. No, it might not feel great at the time but know, you have a 100% success rate of being able to figure things out, otherwise you wouldn't be here. Lean into the discomfort. Go slow. Remind yourself of your values and ultimate goal. Keep going.

Reflecting on my journey, I've learned firsthand the power of understanding my stress triggers. By pinpointing the specific situations or emotions that test my resilience, I've been able to develop personalised strategies to navigate them. Taking note of these triggers and recognising patterns in my reactions has been instrumental in maintaining my composure and making sound decisions, even in challenging circumstances. My advice to others would be to embrace self-awareness, as it's the key to managing stress effectively and preserving mental well-being.

Aprendi que, ter resiliência emocional é uma jornada contínua onde, cada momento que surge é uma oportunidade clara para, testar a capacidade do indivíduo de mostrar o quanto está a crescer e como supera os desafios no dia-dia. Está provado que, cada indivíduo tem energia até um certo nível e uma vez que atingimos o limite, será sábio avaliar o próximo passo que, na maioria dos casos, é saber quando pedir ajuda. Avaliar cada momento e circunstancia da vida, permitira identificar os estímulos que recebemos e uma vez identificados, todo indivíduo estará em altura da saber lidar com os momento baixos, seja por meio da auto-reflex?o ou apoio de alguém com quem podemos contar, adoptando as estratégias que d?o resultados favoráveis.

From my practical experience, recognizing triggers that attack our resilience is sometimes not that easy. We spend a great deal of our time in a kind of automatic mode, which is very convenient because we can be much more efficient, but it also means we overlook what can become "dangerous" to us. To recognize triggers, we need to repeatedly stop and ask ourselves what is going on inside us. I recommend daily 2-3 short check-ins with the same 5 questions: 1) What am I currently preoccupied with? 2) How does my body feel (e.g., am I tense)? 3) What is my impulse to act? Etc. The questions can vary depending on the person. This way, we can trace potential triggers and counteract them. But that is a topic in itself.

I've found that practicing self-care has been a game-changer for me. It's not just about hitting the gym or meditating; it's about finding what truly lights me up and rejuvenates me. Whether it's having a massage, going for a long walk, or simply taking a breather, I've learned to prioritise these moments just like any other important task in my day. Here are a few tips I've picked up: Make it non-negotiable: Schedule self-care into your day Start small: Self-care doesn't have to be extravagant Stay consistent: Incorporate self-care into your routine regularly, rather than waiting until you're already feeling overwhelmed. Set boundaries: Learn to say no to things that drain your energy Seek support: Don't be afraid to reach out

My maximum performance coaching advice: plan your week, not only on your to do tasks but also on the energy level. Put in your calendar at least a moment in the week where you are just recovering, doing nothing (it involves also your phone).

I've discovered that self-care is essential to sustain my performance and leadership. Dedicating time to activities that enhance my physical and emotional well-being allows me to better face challenges, enhancing my ability to lead others with energy and empathy.

I hustled hard for up to 15 hours a day, juggling work, parties, and caffeine like it was my job. But then the red flags waved: headaches, insomnia, anxiety, you name it. Even my downtime was invaded by work thoughts. Falling seriously ill was my wake-up call. So, I hit the brakes. Turns out, I'm way more effective when I chill out a bit. Forget the "burning the midnight oil" myth. I got organized, ate better, and reclaimed some "me" time. Sure, it felt guilt-inducing at first. I worried about being labeled lazy and slacking off. But hey, self-love isn't always easy. And guess what? It paid off big time.

As práticas de autocuidado s?o o cerne das escolhas saudáveis e nos apoiam em momentos difíceis. O grande desafio da atualidade é "manter-se em equilíbrio" em meio aos desafios ao lidarmos com tantos papéis que exercemos diariamente. Olhar para nós de forma integral, cuidando de cada pilar fortalecerá a nossa resiliência. Isso inclui cuidar do corpo físico, emo??es, rela??es, cuidar da mente e da espiritualidade...uma jornada de vida certamente!!!

The most successful people have support. Think of Olympic or pro-athletes - they all have coaches and a broad support system! And many of them credit their success to their support systems, not just for training them physically, but also for supporting them mentally. Any time you are trying to grow or change it’s going to feel uncomfortable, maybe even feel like you’re failing. But having a strong, trusted support system will help you overcome those obstacles.

When we face hurdles that really challenge our mindset, the question isn't HOW but WHO. Who is on your team? Whose counsel can you seek? Who can you share with total transparency what you're facing and get their honest feedback and support? Cultivate a strong support network of people whose counsel you trust and who you can rely on when things get tough. Knowing you have this mental safety net is so important to be able to handle challenges but also allows you to take more risks, knowing you've got people in your court who've got your back and can pick you up if you fall. This network can be built from your trusted peers, mentors, sponsors, coaches, former bosses, professional groups and masterminds you're a part of.

Acknowledging that I don't have all the answers and opening myself to guidance from mentors and colleagues has enriched my perspective and strengthened my leadership. This exchange of ideas and experiences is vital for navigating complex challenges and modeling a culture of collaboration and mutual support.

Reflecting is advisable as it helps us gain deeper insights into ourselves, solve problems, and evolve. However, at times, people find it challenging to reflect due to lack of awareness, strong emotions, distractions, lack of motivation, or unconscious avoidance. An effective way to learn reflection is to consciously allocate time for self-reflection. This can be achieved through maintaining a reflection journal or discussing experiences. Additionally, techniques such as asking oneself open-ended questions or considering situations from different perspectives can aid in enhancing reflective abilities.

Quando olhamos inclusive para ambientes de seguran?a psicológica, a positividade está atrelada a times de alto desempenho, ent?o SIM - esse é um tema de extrema relevancia! Entregar resultados com positividade alta é sin?nimo de entregas de qualidade com pessoas felizes. Utopia? N?o sei, mas sigo otimista e fazendo a minha parte (sempre que posso!!).

Having a positive outlook, and approaching every opportunity as a chance to learn, helps tremendously. If you can make a point to focus on the good, it can diminish the negative feelings. This doesn’t come naturally or easily to everyone, so what has been helpful to me in the past is carving out time to consciously think about the good things. Forcing yourself to do that every day (or every other day) will over time enable you to do so more naturally and help you build emotional resilience.

Focusing on what I can control and cultivating gratitude for daily achievements has enabled me to maintain an optimistic and realistic outlook. Acting in this way not only helps me overcome obstacles but also inspires my team to pursue our common goals with hope and determination.

Building adaptability is the key to building and sustaining emotional resilience. Challenges and setbacks will happen. Being able to overcome these is what can keep you on track. The trick here is to be aware of your own emotions, triggers, and behaviors. Next, develop the ability to spot the triggers as they occur and learn the ability to use cognitive skills in those situations. Asking the right questions can help move from the limbic system (emotional) to the neocortex (thinking). This requires practice using the right tools. It is a good idea to work with a coach for long term and sustained effect.

That's a powerful insight. Overcoming alone won't give you the ability to be more resilient. Rather, it's belief and your own will that demonstrate how competent you are and what's truly possible. We often limit ourselves in our minds with our thoughts and words, and our brain can hinder us from taking action. But what can be done about it? There will always be a solution - but only if you truly believe, will you also implement. Doubts are part of the process, but what matters is the attitude we adopt towards them. Be aware that every word you think shapes your reality, and your focus determines your future.

If your emotional resistance is tested by challenges or setbacks you can view these trials as fuel towards your rebirth and growth. Purpose yourself to lean into the discomfort while understanding there are lessons to be learned from every trial. Embracing your inner strength and areas of improvement are avenues for growth. Sharing your journey with wise counsel who can provide encouragement and perspective while reminding you that you’re not alone.
