How Emotional Resilience Saved Me: A True Story of Fear and Courage
This week, Kayane Watson joins Lucy to share her inspirational story of getting herself through a sudden life and death situation. Using the knowledge and skills she had learned having done The Thrive Programme a couple of years before, she was able to approach a really scary situation with a sense of calm and control.
Kayane explains the moment she discovered something was wrong and there was a risk to her and her baby’s life. She talks through how she responded to her initial fear and was able to calm herself down and focus on the things she could control. And finally, how she processed the situation in the days, weeks, months afterwards in order to come out of the experience stronger, which prevented her from creating PTSD.
Key takeaways:
- Knowing you have the power over how you think, feel and respond in any situation is key
- Learning how to master your emotions is something everyone can (and should) learn
- If you focus on things you can’t control, you’ll feel powerless
- If you focus on things you CAN control, you feel powerful
- How you process an event afterwards will determine your experience of it – you have the ability to shape it
