The Power Of Making Yourself "WAIT"

Did you know that our thoughts influence our feelings, our mood, our behaviours, and ultimately, our well-being, yet we rarely take the time to pause and examine them? By simply asking ourselves, “What am I thinking?” we unlock the potential to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, improve our mood, foster emotional resilience, and create better outcomes in our personal and professional lives.

Failure Is Our Greatest Teacher

Failure sharpens our problem-solving skills. It nurtures resilience, perseverance, and creative thinking—skills that are critical not just in professional settings but in everyday life. Without failure, there is no challenge to overcome, no problem to solve, and no reason to grow.

Don't stay stuck in the mud

What is inner resilience? Why is it that some people cope with difficult times and life struggles better than others. What's the difference, and how do they do it?

The answer is that 'resilient people' don't stay stuck in the swamp of the problem. They don't focus on the "why is this happening?" or "why me?"

Instead, resilient people focus on the "how am I going to get out of this?" or, "what can I do to solve this/improve this?"

They go into solution mode and problem solving, they look ahead to when and how things can improve. They take action, make decisions, have goals and look forward rather than dwell on the present problem exclusively.

Sometimes we all need to wallow a little, but there comes a time when we need to get out of the mud and start to move forward. The question is, how soon do we want to do that?
