When Life Gets Hard: Three Essential Steps to Stay Resilient

It’s been a tough month for our team, with more challenges than any of us could have imagined. We’ve had to face the loss of loved ones (plural), deal with serious health issues and hospitalization, and manage the chaos that life can sometimes throw our way.  I’m sure you’ve been through a season or many like this. It’s during these times that everything feels irrationally difficult, and it can take everything we’ve got just to keep marching forward. But even amid grief and stress, there are ways to build resilience so that we can continue to show up for life and business.  My longtime listeners and friends know I’ve been through a lot in life. Like, things that probably should have taken me down. But somehow I figured out a way to rise above it. I can see that now.  So my assistant and I were trying to wrap our arms around all the details of everyone’s worlds to ensure no balls were getting dropped in this stressful season.  She finally says to me, “Crazy things happen to you all the time. You just get hammered. But you still stay positive.”  I responded, “What’s the alternative? That seems terrible.” And in that moment we decided I needed to do a solo episode on what you can do to ensure you can keep your chin up to function and at the very least cope until you can work your way towards thriving again. So I will share three science-backed ways that will help you keep it together in the toughest of times, but if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to speak at a spiritual level first.  (Not a religious one. Don’t turn me off!)
