Summary

In this episode, I delve into the concept of anxiety proofing your life by cultivating resilience and grace, inspired by a thought-provoking question from a member of our private Facebook group. I explore how we can develop the ability to bounce back from adversity, emphasizing that resilience isn't merely about enduring hardships, but about doing so with a sense of elegance and strength. I've come to realize how essential it is to expand our vocabulary to include empowering words that evoke strength, such as resilience, equanimity, poise, buoyancy, fortitude, and grit. Each of these terms offers a perspective on overcoming life's challenges and serves as a reminder of our innate capacity to thrive.


Throughout the episode, I share my own journey of finding a focal word for the year, a practice I introduced to our group years ago, and how this search led me back to A's question. Reflecting on words like enthusiasm and gusto, I emphasize the importance of recognizing ourselves beyond our anxious thoughts and feelings. We are not defined by our anxiety; rather, we possess the power to cultivate a vibrant and resilient self. I encourage listeners to consider how they speak to themselves, advocate for their inner resilience, and use affirming language to reframe their experiences.


I provide listeners with practical strategies to enhance their resilience. Embracing change and uncertainty is crucial—understanding these elements as inevitable parts of life can transform our approach to challenges. I urge cultivating a growth mindset, viewing setbacks not as failures but as opportunities for learning.
