Resilience

How quickly can you regain your composure after a setback? This is a sign of your resilience and mental fitness, some people its over in an instance, others can take days!! A mentally tough person can quickly assess the situation, adapt to the new circumstances and learn from the event to prevent future exposure to that problem. When you’re resilient it means that there is no situation that isn’t rescuable, and you aren’t immediately defeated in the face of a setback. You can handle anything that comes your way and where others see obstacles, you see opportunities.

How you define the challenge in front of you changes everything. When you encounter an obstacle during training, see what changes for you when you choose to think; “This is going to suck.” vs. “This is going to be hard.” vs. “This is going to be a challenge.” vs. “This is going to be an opportunity.” When you look for opportunities you find your way around the obstacle and can come out even stronger on the other side.
