Shame Resilience

Some feelings we feel day-to-day are useful. Some not so much. And some can be actively desctructive. Today we're talking about a concept that everyone reading this will be familiar with—and that is shame. It's that voice which says words such as "I am not lovable", or "I'm not good enough". Shame causes people to feel trapped, powerless and isolated. In today's episode, we want to discuss what shame is—and possibly even more importantly, what shame isn't. How is it different from guilt? Is it ever useful for us to feel shame? And how can we take advantage of self talk in order to help morph these feelings of shame into things like remorse or guilt (the good kind—the one that helps us improve!)?

Creating Cognitive Reserve

How you process information. Problem solving. Reasoning. How you accomplish your goals. These are all cognitive skills. They impact our language skills, how we read, how we write, how we understand information we hear and how we express ourselves through speech.When people say they're having a hard time reading, they may actually be struggling with focus or concentration, or retaining the information or processing it. It's not necessarily reading. And this. Applies to how we understand information in a conversation as well. It's not necessarily your comprehension skills—it could be your attention skills. So many of these skills are really closely integrated and that's what we work on when people have cognitive communication disorder.Today, we're going to talk about cognitive reserve—a term that neuroscientists coined to basically understand why some individuals are able to remain cognitively healthy—and remain healthier despite biological adversity, even warding off disease, such as Alzheimer's or social adversity, like stressors or personal losses. In today's episode, we'll examine the research, as well as explore ways to expand our own cognitive reserve.As always, you can find us on our website, http://hl-lifecoaching.com, and join our Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/thebuildingresilienceclub.

10-10-10

10-10-10. Three numbers, but also a life tool to help you make decisions differently and proactively—by deliberately considering their consequences in the immediate present, the near term and the distant future.Should I quit my job? Should I end this relationship? Should I buy this house? Should I skip this meeting? Should I go to the party? How will this decision affect me in 10 minutes? 10 months? What about 10 years? 10, 10, 10. A simple process, sure, but one that allows you to quickly analyze the consequences of our decisions in the short term, medium term, and long term.Learn how to apply this strategy in your own life, and the benefits that mastering it can have!

The 3 P's

Everybody loves some good alliteration and abbreviation, which is why we've brought you today's episode—The 3 P's! These three "p" words (personalization, permanence, and pervasiveness), are a quick shorthand from Dr. Martin Seligman (the father of positive psychology) for today's subject. We're going to talk about protective factors—mental strategies to help insulate our minds, to help us build resilience and to weather the storms of life. Join us on today's episode to discuss how these three simple P words can help us shift our perspective, build our mental fortitude, and helps us focus on what is right with us, instead of what's wrong (and to create meaning from what it is we want in life).

Thinking Traps (Pt. 2)

In our last episode, we talked about six different mind traps—this week, we'll talk about even more (there's a reason we had to split this topic into two episodes!). Learning to identify what these mind traps are is like being a defensive driver. If you learn what signs make a road dangerous, you can largely avoid pot holes because you know what to look for.In this episode, we share some personal anecdotes to illustrate some more common thinking traps; overgeneralizing, catastophizing, and more.  Getting caught in one of these thinking traps WILL impact your mental health, it WILL impact your self-confidence and your self-esteem and it WILL impact your relationship. So, if you find yourself trapped in a thinking trap, you're in the right place (and if you want to talk about it, definitely reach out!).You can find us on our website and join our Facebook group.

Thinking Traps

SNAP! Just like a mouse trap, a thinking trap lures us in and before we know anything is wrong, Recognizing these mental pitfalls is so important that we are going to have to split this over two episodes.Karen Reivich and Andrew Shatté introduced four tenets to resilience which we're going to talk about today: 1) life change is possible, 2) thinking, 3) tunnel vision, and 4) fortune telling. These may seem pretty simple, but recognizing them early can play a huge factor in controlling our thoughts.Find out how to spot this sticky mind bait, strategies to avoid getting stuck there, and don't forget to stick around for part 2!

All or Nothing Thinking

If you've been listening to us long enough, you'll see that we are constantly saying our thoughts are 100%. Sometimes it doesn't feel that way— because when we think a thought over and over again, it becomes a belief which actually starts to feel like a fact.It is true and there's nothing we can do about it. Appearing in our mind. What also happens is sometimes our brain. Be efficient. We'll think the same thing over and over and over and over and over again, and develop a pattern of thinking. And this works well if it's a good pattern or a helpful thought, but it's not so great when it's not.Getting stuck in our own thinking like this is called a thinking trap or congnitive distortions now in psychology. We all have patterns that our brain prefers—that's just how the brain is designed. However, it is helpful for us to know what our own thinking traps are. In this episode, we'll discuss how to identify your thinking traps, and how to keep your thoughts more level.As always, don't forget to find us on our website and join our Facebook group.

Luckily, there's a way to help map that out. What if we told you there was a 56 item test that can help you get a snapshot of your resilience in distinct areas? But what exactly is the resilience quotient? How can it help us get an aerial view of where we're at? We'll talk about these things and more—you won't want to miss today's episode!As always, don't forget to find us on our website and join our Facebook group. See you next week! Hosted on Acast.
