How to Build Positivity Resilience

by Leave a Comment

A positive mindset seems like a pony ride sometimes.  You know, the carousel ride. We have our ups and downs and around and arounds.

Sometimes we even fall off the horse, and that is okay!

Maurey: “So what do we do when we fall off the horse?”
Zoolander: ” I don’t know Maurey, I’m not a gymnast!”

Ha!  It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen that scene in Zoolander before, we all know the answer… we get back on!  That is building resilience!

Our brains are hardwired from birth to lean towards the negative, BUT we can retrain or rewire our brain with intentional exercises.

Here’s a strategy or exercise I use for myself, clients and even my kiddos to pivot towards the positive aspects around any situation!

In any situation that provokes negative thoughts or heavy emotions, Ask yourself, “What is the opportunity right now?” “How can I take advantage of this situation and make something good of it?”

 

This helps shift your mindset from negative to positive.  You move from focusing on what you don’t have to what you have available to you.

Opportunities surround you, every moment of every day! Get intentional about looking for them. Like a game of hide and seek!

I AM STATEMENTS:
“I AM SURROUNDED BY OPPORTUNITY.
“I AM OPEN TO EXPLORING WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO ME. “

Here are some examples:

  • When my Dad was in an accident 15 years ago and we didn’t know if he was going to life or die, we had the opportunity to find joy in the little things.
  • What if your weight loss goals are not going as fast as you would like.  Take the opportunity to turn around and look back to see how far you’ve come!
  • Any personal or professional relationships not so hot right now?  That’s a great opportunity for you to discover some hidden limiting beliefs!

I hope your week is plentiful with opportunities both big and tiny! Both are equally important.

Positively Resilient,
Erika

Day 4 – Understanding

by Leave a Comment

Welcome to Day 4 – Understanding Yourself Better

So why on earth would we want to understand ourselves better?

When we seek to better understand out thoughts, emotions and actions, we realize how much is conditioned by our surroundings. It’s not actually who we are.  It’s conditioning.

Once we understand that we have to opportunity to let them go.  And that’s liberating!  That’s change!

Self mastery is what we seek so we can continually evolve to be the best we can be for ourselves and others.

I’ve found a unique way to understand ourselves better is to take a RISK!  Taking a risk means that the outcome is unknown. For many of us, that fear of the ‘what can happen’ stops us from moving forward.

In order to better understand ourselves and self reflect, let’s take some risk and see what happens.

It can be a big or small risk.  It’s what you are comfortably uncomfortable with.  If a risk doesn’t present to you today, at least you are thinking about it.  You are still aware of it.  That is understanding yourself better in order to create more focus!

Day 2 – Off Set Distractions

by Leave a Comment

Welcome to Day 2 of your 5 Day FOCUS Challenge!

As you can imagine, there are many different ways to offset distractions to increase focus.  But I have one in particular that is simple and gives us power with a pause.

Are you ready?  This one may make you gasp, but hey, you are here to be a little challenged right?

Remove all but 3 of your most important apps from the home screen on your phone.

Whoa… you okay?  Did you pass out?

  • This will give you a moment to pause as you swipe.  That pause if POWERFUL because it gives you time to refocus and question yourself on the intention of heading to the app you are lookin for.
  • You’ll eventually stop looking at your phone so much!
  • This will also remove clutter!  Why remove clutter… because external clutter will clutter the mind.  A cluttered mind is a huge distraction.

So are you ready?  I know this is a big leap of faith and trust in me and yourself.

You got this!  Tomorrow I will lead you through a powerful and quick exercise to help you find clarity in any moment and task!

I had the fun privileged to do a FB Live interview on the Tour De Perspective with Ashley Diamond-Siegert.  She’s started a thriving photography business and is on the cutting edge of a revolutionary new photography business.  That’s all I can say for now, it’s top secret, but I will tell you it’s BRILLIANT!

Ashley is a go-getter.  She’s continually growing her photography business and her Business Coaching Course in strategic and impressive ways.  And she’s always down for some real talk and a good laugh.

Today we talked about Obstacles standing in our way to achieve our dreams.  You really need to watch the video to get the full scope and it’s just a lot of fun and a ton of gold nuggets.  Grab a pen and paper to take notes.  Also, Ashley graciously provided us with an INSANELY good writing prompt sheet so you can really start to peel back the layers.  (free download, no email address needed but if you want to subscribe to this blog, you will make the 2019 ‘cool people list’ lol)

  1. Take Responsibility – You are exactly where you are supposed to be
  2. Get Clarity on Your Dream (the writing prompt’s Ashley provided can be used as a tool for this!)
  3. Be the boss of our business and not your job – mindset shift for entrepreneurs
