If you’re reading this, you’re probably already a person who has a good ability to bounce back. So if you’d like to bounce back with more energy, read these 8 tips. And if you’re a person of action, choose one. 😉
Our ability to bounce back is called resilience.
A person can be said to be resilient when, rather than denying events or sinking into sadness and frustration, they are able to cope with them, and come out of their experiences stronger.
I would add here: without getting burned.
Being resilient and smart will take you even further and make you feel better.
Here are 8 tips to bounce back with more energy
Tip #1: Keep the focus on what you control
We talked about this in more detail in a previous article, but if you spend most of your time on what you don’t control, it will cost you energy that could instead be put on the next tip: stay in solution mode.
Tip #2: Stay in solution mode
Shift your focus to what you control and what you can do to make things better. Looking for a solution on your own or with someone will give you a lot of energy to bounce back.
Spend more time looking for solutions than dwelling on your problems.
Tip #3: Accept the situation
Sometimes the solution is to accept a situation. Make peace with a rhythm, make peace with change, make peace with your ideal, don’t take things personally.
Tip #4: Surround yourself with people
Don’t stay alone if you feel like you need to bounce back with more energy. Social ties: sharing, exploring, connecting are extraordinary sources of human energy.
Tip #5: Surround yourself positively
An important nuance. Surrounding yourself is good, having a negative entourage will not give you the opportunity to bounce back with energy. You have the choice to share what you want with whomever you want. I don’t go to my insecure friends when I’m worried 😉
Tip #6: Manage your thoughts
If you’re an ambitious person who likes to achieve goals, you may be subconsciously more focused on the future than the present. You think more easily about what you don’t control, rather than what you control, and maybe even more about what is not going well versus what is going well.
Notice your thoughts, change your focus on what is going well, what you are in control of and what is happening right now.
Tip #7: Create the known
If the unknown creates stress, then create as many known elements as possible. Does this mean a boring routine? Not at all! Just be in action, step by step, and embark on the new thing, one step at a time.
Tip #8: Move forward in a smart way
In order to bounce back with more energy, you also need a plan. A detailed short-term plan with a long-term vision. In times when resilience is more needed, it can be difficult to see in the medium to long term. No problem with that. What you need is not to navigate in a fog and to enlighten you, have your vision in mind and in your heart, and move forward a little each day taking into account the events that are happening.
Stay focused on your vision and flexible on how to get there.
Conclusion
In conclusion, in order to bounce back with more energy, if I had one last piece of advice, it is to take a 5-10 minute step back per day on what went well and not so well in your day. Whether on a personal, interpersonal or business level.
If you don’t have that time, you have a whole problem 😉 . I’m telling you this with kindness, but be serious with yourself. You deserve more energy, more well-being and to achieve your goals.
