What's up, y'all? We are back. We're back for another episode of the Peace and Prosperity Podcast. I'm your host, jason Phillips, licensed therapist, confidence expert, and today we are talking about one of the more popular topics. Y'all know, sometimes topics seems to come in waves, like sometimes self-care is something that's trending and really popular, or burnout, but right now we're going to dive into the topic of resilience. This is something that I've been asked to speak on probably like four times this year alone, and we're only I mean, I don't know when this will be released, but we're only in February right now. So it's coming up more and more often.
Speaker 1:Why is it coming up? Because you're being asked to do more and more with less and less. And I know you're like yeah, this is me, my job is asking me to do more, my family's requiring more of me and I'm thinking how much more can I give? So how much more do you truly have to give to these people that are demanding so much from you? And you know, when they ask you, they want you to show up and show out. They're not asking you just to check a box or, you know, fill a position. They're asking you because they want your excellence, your zone of genius, your brilliance, your personality, and in order to do that, it takes a lot of effort. So let's get into. How do you remain resilient and still show up with all of these demands and people asking you to do this and asking you to do that? The first thing I want you to do is you have to take a break. Now, this may seem very counterintuitive for resilience, because when you think about the definition of resilience, it means to be able to overcome, to get through adversity, to bounce back. But I'm saying, if you want to remain resilient, you have to slow down and take a break. This means taking the time out.
Speaker 1:If anybody has watched sports I'm sure you've watched some sport they go and sometimes they go into overtime, meaning the regular game has stopped. But now we have to keep going in order to win and conquer, to succeed. But don't you think there's some timeouts along the way and the coaches and the teams who use their timeouts strategically they do a better job at remaining resilient. Now y'all know or, if you don't know, you've been listening Allen Iverson is one of my favorite basketball players and he had a lot of energy and he loved. He could play 48 minutes if the coach allowed him, but they wouldn't let him do that. I mean, some games he did, they needed him to, but they would take him out. They would take him out because in order for him to perform at that high level and to remain resilient you know, with a small frame, 160, 65 pounds, going up against these bigger guys he had to get his rest so for you to keep delivering at that high level.
Speaker 1:You're in your job, you're in your family, you're working and going hard, but I want you to also prioritize your wellness, your mental health and your physical health, and take a break. That's going to help you win not only the regular game, but if you are asked to go into overtime and overdrive, you'll be able to do it. Show up, show out easily because you've prioritized rest along the way. Hey, peace and prosperity family. I want to take a moment to talk about something vital for all organizations employee wellness. I focus on tackling issues such as low morale, burnout and helping teams thrive by improving their employee wellness. Here's what some of the past organizations have shared about their experiences.
Speaker 2:Jason Phillips has been a tremendous value to our team. His session on psychological safety and mental health tools for leadership has been immense for all of us.
Speaker 3:The privilege of joining Mr Jason Phillips a wonderful session about psychological safety and psychological health. There are a lot of key takeaways from from his presentation. I mean he discussed just how how leadership impacts team health and team mental health.
Speaker 1:Then Jason's session today, and I just took away a lot of invaluable information to bring back to my shop. You're interested in investing in your team's mental health? Visit Jason L Phillips dot com or visit the link below, and let's talk about creating a thriving work environment for your organization. Now back to the episode. The second thing I want you to do is lean into loving yourself more. So this means giving yourself the grace, the effort, the maintenance, the pampering. All of that stuff matters too, because now when you show up, you're showing up, you're looking good, you're feeling good, your swag is there. So when somebody asks you to do more with less, you can say gladly I'll do it, not because you feel compelled to, but because you've taken so much good care of you. Whatever they do for you is just extra, but this means you love yourself. One of my boys he is consistent with getting a manicure and a pedicure, and when I told him I had been slipping on getting mine he was like, hey, man, jay, you tripping, because I make sure I prioritize that. I think he goes either monthly I don't think it's biweekly but the point is he gets it done. So when he's putting in extra hours or doing other things for the fam. He's already prioritized himself and he's loved himself to a great level and he's poured into himself. So he's not looking for other people to make deposits into him that he can make into him. I hope you're catching it, because we break when we're asked to be more resilient. Well, we haven't taken care of ourselves. We're looking for the external validation. We're looking for the external validation. We're looking for the external support when it's got to start at home. So y'all peeping it out.
Speaker 1:First thing I want you to do is take a break. Second thing I want you to do is love yourself. The third thing I want you to do is value yourself. This means knowing your worth, not doing just just to do it, just because somebody asked you to do it. But you do it and you ask for your worth. Like if you're asking me to to perform this duty, how are you compensating me? Or you're asking me to lend a helping hand. Are you appreciative? Or are you asking me because you know I've said yes time and time again and essentially now it's starting to look like you're using me. You're not going to be able to sustain this level of resilience. If you're operating out of guilt, you're helping everybody else, you have no boundaries and you don't value you. So let's recap it you won. I want you to make sure you do an excellent job of taking a break. Prioritize your self-care. Secondly, prioritize loving yourself. Third, know your value, set your value, have standards for who you are. You do those things, being resilient. It's going to be a piece of cake for you. All right, y'all, as always, be blessed Peace.

Again, if you are feeling like, hey, I'm experiencing high functioning anxiety, don't beat yourself up about it. It is OK. We all experience anxiety from time to time and I gave you a couple of things that you can do on your own, but don't hesitate to reach out to a professional to better manage what you're going through.
