#600 Everyday actions for everyday resilience

Hi, it's Helen from the Squiggly Careers podcast, and you are listening to one of our Squiggly Career shortcuts. These episodes come out every Thursday and they are quite a lot shorter than our Tuesday ones. So they're quick to listen and easy for you to take action. And today's topic is actually one that feels particularly Pertinent for me. It is about everyday actions for everyday resilience. And the context for this is I see a lot of people. Who are maybe feeling a bit overwhelmed by their workload or they're really struggling with something and they've almost left resilience too late as something that they need to consider. So when they come to us for some squiggly career support, they're already feeling tired, drained, like things are feeling really, really difficult.

And the reality is that We all have ups and downs in our work. But it is a lot easier to maintain your resilience if you are regular investing in it. And I said this is something that feels quite pertinent to me right now. I have a really, really full-on work week, but because I know the science behind resilience, I know that it is equally important for me this week to invest in my resilience reserves. as it is to do all the things I've got to do. Because if I don't, I'm much more likely to struggle, to make mistakes, to honestly feel exhausted by Friday, you know, the Friday flop. And so I will be prioritizing everything that I'm gonna talk to you about now.

And I'm gonna go through six everyday actions that can help you increase your everyday resilience. My recommendation would be Don't try to do all of these. So as I go through them, maybe pick one or two. That feel like something that you could regularly invest in, that you could almost do routinely, because it's far better for you to do one or two consistently than to Try them all out.
