5 Ways to Bounce Back When Life Knocks You Down

-

1. Mind your language.

Your words create your reality. Describe your situation as a nightmare and you’ll experience just that. Describe it as exciting, and it will shift the emotions you feel and the actions you take. Don’t talk about your problems using dramatic language, but describe your situation in a way that places you in a position of power.

2. Align your wheels.

When a car gets regular tuneups, it goes farther on less gas and rarely breaks down. We aren’t all that different. Take time to refuel and realign your thinking so you can handle life’s trials with more ease and less stress. Listen to music. Play with your dog. Go to yoga.

3. Don’t let your problems be your identity.

No one likes to have his or her business fail or heart broken. But although our setbacks can shape us, they don’t have to define us. When life deals you a tough blow, be vigilant about not letting your adversity become your identity.

4. Lean on your tribe.

The stronger your support network, the better you will cope with challenges and the faster you will recover from them. Don’t be too proud to reach out and ask for help because you’re afraid of appearing weak or needy.

5. Choose optimism.

Just because you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel doesn’t mean it’s not there. Our hardest times can be a catalyst for greatness, introducing us to inner strength that otherwise lies dormant.

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
