How you manage the responses to events in your life speak volumes about the outcomes you will experience, both personally and professionally. What’s more, how you manage the responses to events in your life also affects every single relationship you have, on some level.
Resilience is managing adversity (the life event) and the stress associated with it. Part of developing the appropriate response to events in our lives is creating a resilience capacity – the ability to bounce back from life’s challenges using the attributes of mental toughness (cognitive strength) and self-discipline. The capacity for resilience requires a positive and energized mindset. It requires your skill of Positive Presence. The skill of Positive Presence is your ability to adjust for and create a positive and energized mindset through conscious thought process. Positive Presence is a learned skill, and as with many skills, like riding a bike or doing a dance move, the more you practice, the easier and more natural it becomes.
Mental toughness, often referred to as cognitive strength, is a hallmark character trait of high-level performers. It is a person’s determination, focus, and emotional control under pressure. Mental toughness is not inherent; it is learned and developed over many years.
