What if you could transform your frustration into gratitude in just moments? Resilience isn't just surviving tough times—it's thriving through them with purpose and perspective.

In this quick-hit 5 Minute Friday episode, I dive into why resilience matters and how it prepares us for obstacles on the path to our goals. While most of us are great at setting goals and establishing accountability, we often fail to prepare for the inevitable challenges that arise. The result? We get derailed by our emotional reactions when expectations aren't met.

The game-changer I share is creating a personalized Resilience Response Plan. This practical tool helps you identify your common triggers—those situations that provoke anger, anxiety, or frustration—and pre-determine healthier responses. Instead of defaulting to road rage in traffic or spiraling into anxiety when plans change, you'll have specific actions ready: taking deep breaths, going for a five-minute walk, or calling a supportive friend.

At its core, this approach recognizes that most negative emotions stem from broken expectations rather than the situations themselves. As Tony Robbins wisely puts it, when we "trade expectations for appreciation," we open ourselves to gratitude. This shift highlights two fundamental mindsets: believing we don't have enough versus recognizing we have what we need to help others. The best part? We can change our mindset at any moment—so why not now?

Grab a pen, identify your triggers, and create your resilience response plan today. Your future self will thank you when you're navigating life's inevitable challenges with grace rather than frustration.

Hey, what's going on, guys? It's Jordan Edwards and we're clocking in for 5 Minute Friday. This is where the episodes are less than 5 minutes and we're going to get more value out of them. So today we're going to be talking about resilience. Why is resilience important? Resilience is important because it's something that's going to. It allows us to prep for the goals that are in our way. So what I mean by that is you've probably already established a big goal that you want, you probably have your action step and you probably have your accountability, but in the way, you're going to have some hiccups. So you're going to have some challenges that are going to get in your way, and that's something that you don't want to be able like. You want to be able to overcome that. You know what I mean, because it can be very challenging. So how are we going to do that? We're going to make a resilience response statement. So this is the most actionable thing. I've started to implement this in my life. I've given it to my clients and I share it with them, because this makes a world of difference. So, essentially, what ends up happening is you have a trigger and it might be driving down the road in traffic, you get frustrated. What's your default response? To beep the guy in front of you? To scream? Maybe to throw your finger up? It can be a lot of different things. So what you want to do is you want to be proactive about this, instead of just being reactive to these trigger situations where it could also be like maybe you get angry, maybe you get upset, maybe you get anxiety, maybe you get depressed. What are some of the actions you can do in that moment to resolve this? So some of those actions might look something like taking three deep breaths, setting a timer for five minutes and just going for a walk, getting outside, changing the situation, calling a friend. It can be a lot of these different things and you start to realize that it's not so much.

If this happens, I'm going to react like this. What it really ends up being is a break of expectations. If you expect to get home in 15 minutes and it takes you an hour, yeah, I'm going to be upset, but what am I going to do about that? I'm going to have to have my. I'm going to, I'm going to resort to my resilience response plan and that's something you're going to use to reference this and that will help you along your way and it will allow you to do this. So I want you guys to sit down right now and maybe write down what are some of the triggers you have and what could your resilience response plan potentially look like.

I've started to use this and it's really helped me in a lot of different ways. So I hope it starts to help you guys too, because there's no reason to be upset, there's no reason to be angry, there's no reason to be sad. It's all a game of expectations. We just didn't expect for that to happen. So when we trade our expectations for appreciation, like Tony Robbins says, we open up our world to gratitude and we start to realize how much we have in our world, because there's a lot of us. It's two mindsets, right. It's the mindset of I don't have enough and I have just what I need and I can help people. So you start to realize which one are you and which one are you living in. But the best part about all this is that you can change any of these at any moment. So I ask you today why not change now? Why not make a difference and keep clocking in? Thank you.
