Emotional Resilience

"Here is this session's homework assignment #40, "Emotional Resilience." via You Journal
Top performers, both personally and professionally, have a high degree of emotional resilience. What that means is that they bounce back quickly from perceived adversity, and even find a way to leverage their fall.

No matter what comes their way, they don't allow negative events get them down for too long. They understand that the way they choose to think about and process any event truly differentiates between success and failure, joy and disappointment.
This week, pay close attention to the reactions you have to the events taking place in your life.
Journal about your initial reaction - what did you feel and what thoughts ran through your mind? As the week progresses and you are focused on this exercise, train yourself to actively choose more serving ways to perceive the events that you are experiencing.

What was good about the event?
How was it perfect?
How was it even a gift?

Once we start looking for the silver lining in things, they begin to appear more readily and we learn to assign appreciation to all of the events that come our way, even if they may appear to be negative at first glance. Remember the Find the Gift tool you learned in Week 33."

Some Of My Thoughts.Emotions are for a purpose.
Crying is good up to a point.
Laughter is good as medicine.

May we learn what emotions can do to us.
Thanks for reading. Emotional Resilience
Staying On The Journey,
