As the first quarter of 2021 is behind us, Kerry joins us to talk about resiliency and how to build resiliency in our current environment.
Summary:
- What techniques are you using to manage your mindset and energy? (exercise, meditation, planning, connections, humor, being present, using the practice of gratitude).
- Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react. We must manage our attitude.
- Building a plan for resiliency (support system, strategies you have used in the past, insights or wisdom that has worked for you in the past, required skills).
- The Bridges Model of managing transitions by William Bridges
- Managing transitions is a process and can feel like a rollercoaster
- You are not alone, find the community and resources that will support you
- Believe in yourself and your capabilities!
- Find the space and time to just "be". Slowing down to speed up
- Be curious, learn, ask questions. Keep your eyes wide open
- Get creative
- How are you doing with flexibility, innovation, tolerating stress and taking risks?
- Being busy is a choice
Tips for managing and prioritizing your time:
1. Remember those ANTS (automatic negative thoughts). Recognize those voices, notice them, label them and reframe them.
2. Getting feedback. Seek to find out what the priority is and do not assume deadlines.
3. Allocate time. Blocking, attacking and chunking on your calendar. Be realistic in what will get done. Delegate when you can.
