Resilience Building Sessions

The Resilience Rewire Toolkit: 5 Reps to Train the Mind That Doesn't Break You've read the mindset shifts. Now comes the real test: Can you train for chaos before it arrives? Resilience isn't built in chaos. It's built in calm through daily reps. Yes. Here's how. 1. Replace memorization with creativity Weekly Zero-Google Challenge → Choose a real challenge. → Solve it with just your brain, pen, and paper. No tech, no search. → 15 minutes. No distractions. One founder I mentored used this to redesign an AI chatbot flow. The results beat the old "best practices" version. 2. Replace following instructions with critical thinking "Why This Way?" Habit → Ask this for every task: What's the real goal here? Is this the only way to get there? What happens if we challenge the method? You shift from executor to problem-solver. That's what leaders are built from. 3. Replace compliance with independence Power Hour: No Permission Needed → Once a week, do one thing you believe will add value without asking anyone. → Launch that internal tool. Start that draft. Redesign that ugly doc. → Own the risk. Most wait for approval. Builders take action and refine later. 4. Replace academic success with emotional resilience Bounce-Back Journal → When you fail, get rejected, or mess up. Write 4 lines: - What happened - What emotion showed up - What I learned - What I'll do differently This is how you rewire failure into fuel, not fear. 5. Replace perfect planning with adaptability Plan B Mondays → Once a week, break your own workflow. → Choose a faster, messier, or reverse method to complete one task. → Analyze what held, what cracked. Adaptability isn't built during chaos. It's rehearsed in safety. Rehearse now. So you're ready when the storm hits. These aren't hacks. They're mental reps for a world that rarely goes to plan. Pick one rep this week. Do it. Then ask yourself: Did I freeze, or did I flex?

How to Build Resilience: The Ultimate Guide Resilience isn't born. It's built. I spent years studying why some people bounce back from challenges while others break. The answer isn't willpower—it's a system. Here's the framework that changed everything for me: Your resilience isn't one skill—it's six interconnected domains that work as a system. Vision powers everything: • Purpose • Smart Goals • Alignment Composure is your emotional foundation: • Emotional Intelligence • Control and Authority • Mindfulness Reasoning is your strategic edge: • Plan and Anticipate • Resourcefulness • Problem-solving Health is the domain most leaders neglect: • Exercise and Nutrition • Quality of sleep • Relaxation Tenacity separates the great from the merely good: • Realistic Optimism • Self-belief • Persistence Collaboration might seem optional, but isolation kills resilience: • Support networks • Good relationships • Trust and Teamwork The 6 methods that transformed my resilience: Goggins 40% Rule: When your mind tells you to stop, you've only reached 40% of your limit. Keep going. Cognitive Reframing: When faced with stress, consciously choose to see it as a challenge to overcome rather than a threat to avoid. Premeditation Malorum: Visualize and explore the worst-case scenario to reduce anxiety and stress around potential outcomes. McGonigal's Challenge Response: Transform stress into a powerful ally by consciously choosing to see it as a challenge. Stockdale Paradox: Acknowledge the severity of your situation without sugarcoating it, but maintain faith in your eventual success. The 5×5 Rule: If it won't matter in 5 years, don't spend more than 5 minutes being upset by it. ------------------------------------------------- Follow me Dan Murray-Serter 🧠 for more on habits and leadership. ♻️ Repost this if you think it can help someone in your network! 🖐️ P.S Join my newsletter The Science Of Success where I break down stories and studies of success to teach you how to turn it from probability to predictability here: https://lnkd.in/ecuRJtrr
