HOW and WHY Building Upon Your Resilience and Anti-Fragility Works
Resilience In Your Everyday Life:
Improving how you handle adversity and implementing that in small steps each day, in real time... Not only creates wins and ramps up your "feel good dopamine"...
It helps program your mind and body, creating new neural pathways to become more comfortable and confident with standing stronger in challenges in your business life...
Growing your resilience towards rejection... So you move forward efficiently, generating opportunities... versus being overwhelmed and blindsided...
Allowing you to continue to create solid direction for yourself knowing you have your own back, no matter what life throws at you.
Knowing Where You Operate From:
If you know where you operate from in your business and life... And create them based on where you choose to be... You get to make decisions from that place daily.
Your FIREPIT Inner Resilience Compass helps you fast-track this, so you're operating from a powerful edge and advantage that helps you move more efficiently through adversity in your business or personal life...
Because you're not longer focused on "performing" based on trying to keep up with other's expectations or looking for approval from others.
This, my friend, offers internal freedom, to operate in congruence to what's meaningful to you.
Putting Yourself Back in The Drivers Seat:
Taking responsibility for how you choose to be in your business and life puts you back in the drivers seat.
When challenging situations arise. It moves you away from feeling like you're stuck...
Even when you feel like you've got all your bases covered...
There will be times when the overwhelm and fear kicks in...
This is where you get to step into becoming the HERO of your situation... versus the victim.
You get to create the life YOU CHOOSE to live... and how you play that out.
You Can Powerfully Back Yourself:
Maybe you're in a situation right now...
Maybe it's the worst you've felt, and you feel like you're drowning in it...
Maybe it's not...
Either way...
Leveraging and building upon your resilience and anti-fragility you'll be able to problem solve, while pulling yourself out of it.
You get to break the cycle of destructive thoughts, reactions, decisions... and commit to being productive, driven, purposeful, while also being kind to yourself. You'll be armed with the skills to do so.
Communicate What You Want With Conviction:
Knowing what you want, asking for that, and saying what you want... often end up being completely different when it's time to communicate it.
Having a little more compassion and understanding for yourself and the other party involved... goes a long way in the process.
Being grounded, decisive, and coming from a place where you're sure of yourself and clear on what you want, and how you choose to be and behave...
Straight off the bat, puts you in a better position. Why?
Because You're coming from a place of steadfastness and confidence. You're direct and decisive... versus fear, blame and confusion.
This benefits you and your relationships in business and personal life.
Mastering Your Emotions:
Emotional Resilience, and the ability to regulate your emotions and your nervous system...
Along with self acceptance with however you're feeling... Will bring you peace a heck of a lot faster... than fighting your "inner self".
When you're overwhelmed, it makes it challenging to make decisions from an empowered place.
And it makes it really challenging to think outside of the box and to be decisive when you're feeling like that.
The sooner you move through those emotions and gain clarity, the sooner you get to take action.
And become a lot more efficient at resolving issues and problem solving.
Grab Life By The Horns:
When you're going through business and life's challenges ... You'll look back and probably won't remember the last time you "laughed your ass off"...
Y'know...genuinely felt carefree. A whole part of you that's been forgotten.
Bringing fun, playfulness, creativity, adventure and wonderment back into your life...
Taking responsibility for allowing yourself to be creative, but also figuring out what's truly meaningful to you..
Is one of the most under-estimated keys to assisting in building upon your resilience and anti-fragility!
Resilience, Anti-Fragility and Relationships:
While I'm not a relationship coach... I'm pretty awesome at helping Men and Women hold themselves accountable ...and for what they want in their connections - business and personal.
Resilience and Anti-Fragile Mastery is about being a confident, stand-up Man Or Woman, who knows where he or she operates from and holds his or her own... And doesn't need or want to play games.
By working on this you're focusing on self-growth... versus worrying about the other person. You get to move forward with clarity versus putting your identity and happiness in someone else's hands.
Your "FIREPIT"
Inner Circle:
Knowing who your true "INNER CIRCLE" is... is often put to the side as you get busier with life, buisness and going through the motions.
If you don't have an "Inner Circle"... then it's time to get cracking on it. This is your support powerhouse.
This is the people in your life, that want to see your growth, your stratospheric success... see you genuinely thrive... and can bare the weight of you sharing with them, when you're going through adversity...
That you can trust to help you create solutions and listen with empathy.
Master Accountability:
Self Accountability...
This will help you build incredible rapport with yourself. You'll fall in love with building resilience and accomplishing things in life that you wouldn't have achieved otherwise.
It's expecting more of yourself... without beating yourself up. It's an acceptance of your brilliance and the qualities you bring to the world.
You stand steadfast as the best version of you now...because it's produced by who you choose to be, while being present.
Letting Go of Complicating Adversity:
Over-Complicating the process of moving through adversity often leads to decisions made out of fear. And more confusion.
Utilising your FIREPIT Inner Resilience Compass you get to simplify the decisions, actions, that are required for you to take whatever the next step is.
So if something isn't congruent to your FIREPIT Inner Resilience Compass it's a simple "YES/NO".
Why?
Because you're incredibly clear on how and who you choose to be... And are operating in business and life based on what's meaningful to you.
This reduces second-guessing and allows more empowered decision making.
Resilience and Anti-Fragility Mastery:
The incredible thing about resilience and anti-fragility... is that you can continue to grow, adapt and improve performance... It's not some fixed set of rules. You get to create your identity.
Most people base their identity on what they want, or copy someone else... Versus who they choose to be.
When you know who YOU CHOOSE to "be"...You place value - and value - what YOU say, do, think... and how YOU do what you do, including moving through challenges.
It's the opposite of overthinking and fear. So you get to lead, overcome challenges, leverage your strengths, problem solve efficiently as the powerful Man and Woman that lays within you.
You get to do it NOW!
