Cause what you see is that extreme high and extreme low, a lot of people, they're so down on themselves. They don't have appreciation for life. I see this a lot with young people when they break up with like their first real relationship. It's like, Oh, I'm never going to date someone again. And I love that person. I gave them my all. And it's like, it's going to be okay.

You know, you're 18 years old. You're probably going to meet 10 other people that you fall madly in love with. And it's going to be fine. But again, when you've had that one experience where, It creates that variance of high and low, and you can't always see what's in front of you or what could happen. But again, you have to have a level of resiliency and some gratitude for what you've dealt with.

Yeah, I'm going to share a concept. Now, I'm working on a book. So this will be in the book once it's finished. But it's something I call the ABCs of resiliency. So whenever you're dealing with stress or anxiety, this may be an easy way for you to think about how to kind of manage through those situations. Now, again, I'm going to preface this subjective.

So you're going to have to figure out how to add in your own puzzle pieces to this puzzle. But I'm just going to give you the framework. So the ABCs of resiliency, the A is for adaptive awareness. What do I mean by that? Once you become aware of what your stressor is or what causes your anxiety, you have to adapt to that change, which means you kind of have to accept what has happened.

But you also now that you know what it is, you can start doing things about it. So you have to be able to kind of have some discovery there to figure out what's the stressor or what's this thing that's causing this anxiety for me. Which then leads to the B, which is for balance and boundaries. Now, you think about boundaries, a lot of people go to what you said earlier, Clarence.

They want to just say no to everything. Yes, boundaries are about saying no, but that's not the only thing. Boundaries are an expectation for how I want to be treated and an expectation of how I treat myself. A lot of people struggle with that because they just they just assume that they should be treated any way that someone the way that other people treat you is what they accept.

Instead of saying, nope, this is not healthy for me. This is what I need for myself. So being a little selfish there is OK. So make sure you find your balance and your boundaries. Now, your balance is in a lot of things. How much you want to do for others versus what you do for yourself. Balancing your time and your energy. Balancing your compassion versus your accountability for other people.

Balancing your compassion versus your accountability for other people.

You have to balance these things as much as you can. And there's other balances that people can find for themselves as well. And then the C is what I call consecutive constructive choices. That's a law. Don't try to say that five times fast. Consecutive constructive choices, which means do the best thing that you can do for yourself, but make it consistent.

I met so many people in my career that they would try the new thing and it would work and they would never go back to it because it was unfamiliar. It wasn't in their comfort zone. They just didn't have it. They just didn't build it into their habits. Try to build those things into your habits. They're going to help you get better.

Sometimes that consistent constructive choice may be finding a new person to connect with, going to a new location, accessing new information. Sometimes it's okay to get outside of that comfort zone, but that's one of the key things. I've used this kind of strategy for resiliency in my own life. I've helped coach other people.
