Healing… on Purpose!!
Part of healing is allowing ourselves to feel all our feelings, including pain, and remembering that bumps in the road are a part of the process. When we believe this, we can get back up more easily. Resilience is the ability to bounce back after adversity. Resilience building supports us to manage adversity.
We have to celebrate our successes and mourn our losses… we have to stop and focus on our intent and the direction we want to travel…or the decision making path we want to follow…
It’s not about turning left or right… it’s about weighing out the risk versus rewards, to the consequences calling with our beliefs and values… is this action likely to allow us to achieve what we are working towards, or hinder us?
Examples of Resilience
- Trying to take a positive perspective on situations.
- Viewing challenges as learning opportunities.
- Regulating emotions and expressing feelings in appropriate ways.
- Focusing on the things you can control instead of dwelling on what you cannot change.
- Recognizing that cognitive distortions are false.
1. Purpose creates focus It has been wisely noted by people in the past that you can think about anything...but you cannot think about everything!
2. Purpose triggers decisions: what am I doing? What could I be doing?
3. Purpose shapes thinking… regular reflection, assessing areas of our life worth sustaining and improving.
4. Purpose stimulates activity: seeking to maintain an active engagement in our daily lives. Avoiding inactivity and isolation. This helps us to remain focused.
5. Purpose provides a benchmark…SMART Goals…
The acronym SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound, each with guidelines for effective goal setting.
- Specific: Set real numbers with real deadlines; avoid general statements like "more visitors".
- Measurable: Ensure goals are trackable, not hidden behind buzzwords like "brand engagement".
- Attainable: Work towards goals that are challenging yet possible, not overly ambitious like "take over the world".
- Realistic & Time-bound: Be honest about capabilities and set a clear deadline, avoiding indefinite timelines.
As always… stay out of that rearview mirror… except for brief check-ins… you can keep looking back when you’re forward focused!!
Stick to the plan… and LIVE forward focused, on purpose!!
