As the world is starting to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic and restrictions are easing throughout the United States, it’s time to consider how you can bounce back. Your life may have been frantic if you are a frontline worker, or it may have felt like someone hit the pause button. The important thing now is to move forward. Whether your goal is to live more healthily, or you want a better career, you can manifest it all. Author Mike McRitchie presents the following tips that can help you bounce back.
You build what you attract
The term law of attraction refers to a concept that says our mind can translate whatever is in our thoughts into reality. Simply put, if you focus on positive things and set positive goals, you will find ways to achieve them. On the other hand, if you spend your time focused on negativity, you will continue to attract negative things or events into your life.
The key aspect to note here is that positive things will not happen automatically. According to the law of attraction concept, if you can imagine something, you can take action towards making your goal a reality.
You have to put in the work
Assuming you have a goal in mind, taking steps towards your goal often requires a degree of confidence. Confidence does not mean arrogance without foundation. Instead, it means trusting in your judgment, abilities, and capacities to achieve what you have set your mind on. Building your confidence is closely related to appearing confident. If you project confidence to others, your audience is more likely to respond favorably. In turn, this will help you grow your self-confidence.
Let’s look at two examples: Starting with work, assume you are trying to convince your superiors to back a new project. If you can present the project’s targets clearly and confidently and show how the organization will benefit, you are likely to receive the funds you need to proceed. On the other hand, if you appear doubtful during your presentation, rejection is almost inevitable.
Apply the same logic to healthy living and the outcome is similar. If your goal is to make exercise a regular part of your life, you will research and find programs that fit your lifestyle. However, if you are actually looking for excuses to prove exercise does not fit into your life, you will find those, too.
You have to roll with the punches
Whether you are setting professional or personal goals or both, it is important to remember that small steps will eventually lead towards your goal. Use every achievement – no matter how small you think it may be – as a confidence builder. Step-by-step, you will find yourself developing an all-encompassing sense of confidence.
This will also support you through inevitable setbacks along the way. The main point is to learn from those mistakes and avoid repeating them.
Don’t forget that achieving your goals will take some effort. For instance, when it comes to your work life, consider getting additional qualifications as one way of jumpstarting your career. Online study is a fantastic way of learning new skills. Not only is your schedule flexible and you progress in your own time, but you can tackle these courses in the comfort of your own home. If you can think it, you can do it or be it. Taking the time to set goals for your post-pandemic future is the first step towards bouncing back successfully.
