00:49 | there is good news . Did you know you can | |
00:52 | learn skills to help you deal with your challenging emotions | |
00:55 | ? Better , these skills help you develop a characteristic | |
01:00 | called resilience . Resilience is the ability to cope with | |
01:08 | and bounce back from difficult times . It's being able | |
01:13 | to pick yourself back up after you've been knocked down | |
01:17 | . It's about building your inner strength to deal with | |
01:21 | and manage stressful situations . Mhm , resilience and emotions | |
01:29 | go hand in hand . Learning how to deal with | |
01:33 | your challenging emotions when they occur is important in developing | |
01:37 | your resilience . It can be helpful to think of | |
01:41 | emotions as the weather . Sometimes they can be stormy | |
01:46 | and dark , mhm and other times they can be | |
01:50 | sunny and bright . Learning how to master your emotions | |
01:55 | can help you build the confidence to tackle any challenge | |
01:58 | thrown your way . Some of the challenges that you | |
02:02 | might be dealing with could include dealing with an illness | |
02:06 | , relationship or family issues , problems at school , | |
02:15 | bullying or losing someone you love . Those are all | |
02:22 | really big things . But small things can stress people | |
02:26 | out to like losing a sports game , being told | |
02:32 | off by a parent or teacher or getting a detention | |
02:36 | . For some people , these little things can add | |
02:40 | up , but for other people , it doesn't bother | |
02:44 | them much at all . That's because everyone has a | |
02:48 | different level of resilience to people might experience similar situations | |
02:54 | but cope with them in completely different ways . This | |
02:59 | can be due to past experiences , genetics or what | |
03:04 | we have learned from parents . Everyone is different . | |
03:08 | The great thing is that you are actually able to | |
03:11 | develop and build your resilience . However , being resilient | |
03:17 | doesn't mean you are meant to push any feelings away | |
03:20 | or not express them . Developing resilience means you learn | |
03:24 | to recognize your emotions and manage them in a constructive | |
03:29 | way . Here are some simple ways to start developing | |
03:34 | your resilience . Find healthy ways to deal with stressful | |
03:39 | times . If things start feeling too stressful , find | |
03:47 | something enjoyable to do , like passing your pet , | |
03:51 | doing some exercise or talking to a parent , sibling | |
03:57 | or friend . It can also include speaking positively to | |
04:01 | yourself and reassuring yourself that things will be okay . | |
04:09 | Accept the fact that change is a part of life | |
04:13 | . This means everyone goes through it . Perhaps you | |
04:18 | have moved to a new city or started a new | |
04:22 | school . Maybe there's a new member in your family | |
04:28 | . Often , it can take time to adjust to | |
04:30 | a new change in life , especially if we didn't | |
04:33 | choose it . But as you learn to accept changes | |
04:38 | in your life and make the best out of whatever | |
04:41 | is happening , you'll grow stronger and happier . Take | |
04:48 | some deep breaths When you feel a challenging emotion . | |
04:54 | Chances are your body is physically reacting to it , | |
04:57 | too . It will most likely be giving you warning | |
05:00 | signs that you're feeling a certain way . If you're | |
05:03 | stressed , scared or nervous , your heart might be | |
05:07 | really fast or you might feel sweaty and shaky . | |
05:10 | But did you know that you can actually use your | |
05:13 | body to help you manage your emotions ? One way | |
05:17 | of doing this is by controlling your breathing . Start | |
05:21 | by slowing your breathing down take deep , deep breaths | |
05:26 | in through your nose and out through your mouth . | |
05:36 | Yeah , you'll be surprised with how calm this can | |
05:39 | make you feel . Finally , learn to be flexible | |
05:48 | when it comes to change . This helps to develop | |
05:51 | your resilience . Life isn't perfect , and things don't | |
05:55 | always go according to plan . Maybe you were promised | |
05:59 | a birthday party , but your family couldn't afford one | |
06:02 | this year . Or maybe you were expecting to get | |
06:05 | into the top team of your favorite sport , but | |
06:08 | found out that you placed in the second team instead | |
06:13 | . Can you learn to become flexible when things don't | |
06:16 | go the way you expected ? Being flexible helps you | |
06:20 | to be creative in your ways of coping . Having | |
06:24 | a Plan B and even a Plan C can assist | |
06:28 | in your flexibility so that when your plan A falls | |
06:31 | through , you still have other options . The key | |
06:35 | is to maintain a positive perspective and not only see | |
06:38 | what's not working , but be able to accept , | |
06:41 | change and focus on moving forward . Developing your resilience | |
06:49 | is super important . If you want to be able | |
06:51 | to handle difficult situations well and come out on top | |
06:56 | , learning to develop your resilience can be done in | |
06:59 | many ways . Like accepting that change is normal . | |
07:03 | Yeah , yeah . Using healthy strategies to manage challenging | |
07:08 | emotions and learning how to go with the flow . | |
07:12 | Yeah . Remember , being resilient does not mean you | |
07:19 | aren't allowed to feel and acknowledge your emotions . It | |
07:23 | just means that you'll have the tools to help you | |
07:25 | to cope with things that are difficult so you'll be | |
07:28 | able to bounce back and make the most out of | |
07:31 | life , Yeah . |
