Catrinel Girbovan
Course Description
This class is all about learning to build RESILIENCE!
Would you like to learn more about what it takes to build resilience? How about how to bounce back from personal and professional setbacks, failure or rejection?
This class will attempt to break down what is meant by resilience, and how one can go about building more of it?
We’ll dig deep into what it feels like when we’re faced with a personal failure or life setback and the first course of action to be taken at that time.
We’ll then focus on developing a new mindset characterized by a positive and optimistic outlook of the future. Armed with an understanding that whatever we’re going through, we should always aim to find a silver lining in our situation, we’ll learn to see just how much our mindset matters when faced with a difficult situation. You’ll learn two breathing techniques* aimed at decreasing acute stress that often accompanies facing setbacks.
Most importantly, we’ll be armed with the best tool of all to building resilience: the understanding that reframing our outlook on life with an attitude that accepts change and one where setbacks and failures are seen as opportunities for learning and growth.
