Welcome to today’s episode! I’m thrilled to dive into some big concepts that I’ve been focusing on resilience, adaptability, and thriving. These are themes I’ve discussed with clients, friends, and myself. If you’ve already listened to my episode on resilience, you’ll know that it’s all about bouncing back from life’s challenges.

But today, I want to talk about adaptability, the next step after resilience. Adaptability is about embracing change and making it work for you. We all go through tough times, and some moments in life are about surviving, not thriving. But once we’re through those survival phases, we need to learn how to adapt, change, and thrive.

In this episode, I’ll talk about the difference between resilience and adaptability:

● Resilience is about bouncing back after adversity.

● Adaptability is about learning to change, grow, and create something positive from difficult situations.

Here’s a quick recap of how to build adaptability into your life:

1. Embrace Change: Accept that change is inevitable. You can’t control it, but you can control your response.
2. Stay Mindful: Practice meditation, breathing exercises, and mindfulness. Apps like Balance can help you get started.
3. Problem-Solve: Break your challenges into smaller steps and tackle one thing at a time. Create a list and focus on solutions.
4. Be Positive: Stay open to change and avoid getting bogged down by negativity. Focus on what you can control.

5. The process of becoming adaptable takes time, but it’s totally worth it. When you can adapt to life’s changes, you stop just surviving and start thriving—finding purpose and passion in your daily life.

6. So, remember: Every day is a choice. Choose resilience. Choose adaptability. And ultimately, choose to thrive.
