CREATING A CONCRETE RESILIENCE PLAN Vinu Natarajan
Most people will admit they have acted impulsively before, either out of anger or hastiness. It is very easy to be reactionary with technology these days. As we become more self-aware and see our effect on people around us, there are ways can start to act in a way that is more controlled.
Mindfulness has been around for thousands of years, but there are many iterations of it that can be applied to different disciplines. For people who want to learn how to be less reactionary and more effective, there are several mindfulness-based steps you can follow.
Fill Up Your Tank We all have a hierarchy of needs, beginning with the most primal and working up to the most cognitively advanced. Before you can take care of anything else properly, it’s important to practice self-care. Build up your physical, emotional, and mental reserves so you can draw from them under stressful conditions.
Practice Opposite Reaction Visualize an internal emergency response system that halts the immediate need to react. When you are triggered, whatever you feel compelled to do at that moment, don’t.
Check the Facts
Human beings often confuse thoughts for stories. There is often a battle going on inside our heads that oscillates between defending our actions and berating us. The expression there is no reality, only perception exists for a reason.
