1. The F.I.R.S.T. Tip
Are you aware that RESILIENCE is probably one of life’s most important success skills?
Resilience can only be strengthened when we deal with failures and setbacks. That is why people who grow up in tough situations (say, like a war zone) tend to demonstrate not just high levels of resilience, but also creativity… in short, a far more developed pre-frontal cortex (the part of our brain where high level functions are processed).
They not only learn to deal with setbacks, but also learn to deal with the emotional setback and jump back into ‘purposeful’ action faster.
A simple action that all of us can take (and if you are a parent who wishes to foster resilience in your kids), is to expose ourselves to situations beyond our comfort zone. Simply start with small things and fine-tune your ‘resilience’ muscle as you go along.
Tip: Failures are learning opportunities which strengthen your resilience muscles.
