People Who Bounce Back
I was reading in a magazine about the qualities of people who bounce back from whatever they are dealt, so I wanted to share those 9 qualities with you today in this article.I have known several people in my life that were dealt a hand they were not expecting (including me), but they didn’t fall apart. They called on their inner strength and dealt with the reality they were given. I have heard that people who bounce back are like trees bending in the wind.Here are 9 qualities people share… in fact, they are qualities you can cultivate to master any crisis: They stay connected ….they rely on others to help them survive through tough times. They’re optimistic…people who have a sunny outlook do better at managing crisis. They are spiritual…they believe in a higher power. They’re playful…they know how to enjoy themselves. They give back….they benefit from giving to others. They pick their battles….they spend no time on things they can’t control. They stay healthy….they understand that exercise repairs stress. They actively seek solutions…they actively cope, not waiting for things to happen. They find the silver lining…they convert misfortune into good luck. Now–let’s find out how fast you bounce back from adversity.Use the following scale from 1 (do not agree) to 5 (strongly agree) to rate yourself on all 9 qualities.SCORING:
40-45 Highly Resilient 35-39 Self motivated learner 30-34 Somewhat resilient Less than 30 Poor at handling pressure (but it is never too late to learn) Under 60 you are ready to learn… start listening to CD’s or reading business books that will help you get motivated For a validity check, ask 2 people who know you well to rate you on these items. See what scores they come up with.I will see you next week, and will share the outcome of the Big Event.Respectfully,Patricia
