This meditation and reflection are a perfect way to start the day or reset your mind if you’ve been having a stressful time and you can do this meditation whilst walking or commuting As human beings, we are all incredibly powerful and adaptable with inner lights that can shine brightly but in a world where we are expected to be constantly busy and the news can easily increase feelings of worry and our lights can become dimmed.

In this episode, Paul takes an in-depth look at resilience explaining how to identify low resilience and how you can build your resilience to live the life you want Resilience is all about being able to meet the challenges of life and Paul shares great life hacks on how you can improve your resilience from looking letting go of perfection to looking after your health and getting enough sleep This is an opportunity to really think about your resilience and hear about the skills you can learn and use to bounce back and confidently meet the challenges of life KEY TAKEAWAYS If your autonomic nervous system is too finely tuned to being sensitive you will find things harder Developing resilience is a combination of developing your mind, body and environment Signs of low resilience can include feeling victimised, low tolerance levels, dwelling on problems, reckless behaviour, avoiding challenges and struggling to see the positives We are being conditioned to be more comfortable Lack of resiliency can often be seen in your habits. Without resilience, it’s easy to become focused on the little things and neglect the important things Resilience is like a muscle and it needs to be used Familiar zones can be a good place to rest and recharge temporarily but you need to step outside them and meet the challenges You are the designer of your future, connect to your future self and how they handle challenges When things go wrong it’s actually a redirect in your life Let go of perfection and your views on failure to build resilience It’s vital and a non-negotiable to get enough sleep Breathing in triggers the sympathetic nervous system and you will feel more alert Breathing out long and deep ,triggers the parasympathetic nervous system and tells your brain you are safe Learn to work with your emotions and just experience them BEST MOMENTS ‘We can tap into the wonderful psychology of your lovely mind’ ‘Gratitude helps you to feel more positive ‘Fear begins to diminish and they begin to handle anxiety in a whole new confident way and that’s resilience’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube NUMIND WELLNESS OFFER - 20% DISCOUNT AVAILABLE WITH THIS CODE https://numindwellness.com/ use Code: PAUL20 The Gap and The Gain - Dr Benjamin Hardy & Dan Sullivan The Comfort Crisis - Michael Easter ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.
