Why do I need mental resilience training
What is a resilient mindset?
Mental resilience is the ability to adapt well to life’s challenges despite obstacles, trauma, tragedy, and threats, such as family problems, serious health problems, or financial and work stressors. The act of bouncing back from these difficult experiences involves mental resilience, but it also involves intense personal growth.
Developing a resilient mindset means:
- Prioritising relationships
- Building a self-care routine
- Practicing mindfulness.
- Avoiding negativity
- There are many more aspects to a resilient mindset, but the overall aim is to be able to use mental resilience to manage the ups and downs of life.
Why do I need it?
The key to building mental resilience is training your mind to focus on positive aspects of your life. Using focused attention to reduce thoughts of negativity, you can bring more focus to the most meaningful part of an experience. A mental resilience program focuses on emotional, cognitive and mental, physical, and spiritual resilience. Fostering mental resilience in these areas, you can enhance your quality of life, reduce your stress, and develop a view of challenging events as an opportunity.
