Resilience is the ability to absorb a shock, to quickly assess a situation, and to bring yourself back to a higher level of functioning. The ability to bounce quickly is a learned behaviour.
The world we live in can quickly overwhelm us as individuals and as a collective. Most days consist of multitasking, repetitive interruptions, and switching from task to task. To assist with staying on track and from becoming overwhelmed mindful attention to one thing at a time is recommended.
That includes making sure those around you know the following:
- you do not wish to be distracted;
- prioritize your tasks with the most challenging set for the time of day you have peak energy;
- turn off pop-up notifications when possible.
The benefits of following a few simple steps mentioned include:
- reduced stress;
- improved cognitive function;
- emotional stability;
- behavioural consistency;
- improved levels of sleeping and other physical benefits.
Try focusing on doing one thing at a time for a day or two and notice the benefits. You may be pleasantly surprised at the transformation that occurs.
