I hope the title intrigued you as much as the quote did for me 👇🏽 “Your goal in life should be to reduce the amount of time it takes you to get out of a bad state.” 🤯 How true is that? Think about that for a second. Life is always going to bring frustration, disappointment, and moments where we feel mad, overwhelmed, or stuck. @Georgiana D had a phenomenal post that speaks more to this (check here). That part never goes away. The real skill is not avoiding those moments, but learning how quickly you can pull yourself out of them. One of my biggest mentors used to say: “When you’re five, you can be mad for a day. When you’re ten, you can be mad for an hour. By the time you’re thirty, you get ten minutes, and then you have to move on.” Growth and maturity are not about getting upset. They are about bouncing back faster and learning from it! For me personally, it starts with awareness. I try to recognize the pattern and ask myself why this triggered me in the first place. Have I been here before? Is this really new? What part of this is in my control? Especially in today’s world, where emotions play such a big role, this skill matters more than ever. Curious to hear from you. 💬 When you get into that “mad” state, what helps you get out of it faster? P.S. Feel free to send a picture/video of where you are and your beautiful weather 🥶🥵
