How emotionally resilient are you?

As business owners you’ll swing from pure elation at that latest deal, to punishing lows when times are tough, so you need to be emotionally resilient to just get past lunch time.

That’s why in this episode I invited my psychotherapist, James Elliott, on to the show to discuss what emotional resilience actually is and how you can enhance yours.

James delves into the importance of understanding your emotions first, to then be able to manage them effectively. We also explore what thought court is, an incredible tool that has helped me in those moments of self-deprecation.

We’ve all been there in those tough times, but as business owners we need to be able to perform at our best, and that doesn’t mean ice baths at 5am. It means being able to navigate challenges effectively.

So, listen up as James shares brilliant advice to help get you emotionally resilient.

“The more you understand your emotional state the easier it is to manage” – James Elliott

You’ll hear about:

• Why understanding emotions is key to managing them effectively.
• How your self-efficacy plays a crucial role in overcoming challenges.
• Your childhood experiences shape your adult beliefs and behaviours.
• What is paradoxical intent and how it can guide behaviour towards success.
• Mental resilience being vital for navigating the pressures of business.
