Positive emotions and good energy are an essential part of our day to day quality of life. This is especially true when things get challenging.
It may seem obvious and common sense to say that if we experience more positive emotions on a regular basis we lead a better life, so why is this often hard to achieve? What gets in the way? Maybe the answers are obvious too, but somehow many of us humans struggle to find, gather and continue to cultivate positive emotions and energy. Many find it hard to remain resilient and buoyant in tough times.
By understanding the ways we fall down, but also in the ways we can get back up again we can retain our equilibrium more effectively. Getting practiced at distracting from pain, dissipating negative emotions, getting out of overwhelm, cultivating positive emotions and raising energy defines mastery in the art of super resilience.
The most effective ways to become super resilient - i.e. being able, not just to bounce back, but to ‘bounce forward’ (Johnstone, C) is in having a growth mindset, understanding our emotions and applying emotional first aid techniques.
The best example we can ever find of this super resilience is in children, having a ‘beginners mind’, looking for the learning with curiosity, finding fun, joy and appreciation in the ordinary.
So let’s all find our way to have more childlike enjoyment in life and get super resilient!
Anna is inspired to be a champion for a daily practice she uses called ‘Childing’ (and Anna likes to use the word ‘Kidding’ interchangeably :-)!) to keep up positivity and inspiration.
Explanation of ‘childing’ in a nutshell:
The word childing is starting to be used in a new way to define: a conscious grown up decision to make a commitment to child like wonder and playfulness as a state of being. You may have heard of the term ‘adulting’ to describe responsible adult life, well childing is a remedy to that!

Theme behind the work:
Presenting a reminder, especially for busy grown ups to remember to play, laugh, be light and have fun, as a serious daily means of practicing resilience.
Practicing positive psychology focussed techniques are crucial to help us re-balance and regulate. If we focus on good stuff, it can enable us not let the inevitably boring, difficult, challenging and down right horrendous and traumatic parts of life drag us too far down.
If we go too far down, we know where it can lead, to stress, overwhelm, poor habits which we know aren’t good for us but can’t seem to stop, to burnout, ill health or mental breakdown.
So by cultivating positive emotions, raising good energy, finding joy in the moment, we can reset, re-balance, de-stress, improve wellbeing and raise quality of life.
Then with the right conditions, we get resilient and even Super resilient to life’s knocks.
We can all thrive and blossom. We deserve to!

“I have had the privilege of both working with, and being mentored by, Anna Rae-Jones. Anna is an insightful, inspired and loving coach who knows how to get to the heart (in all senses of the word) of the matter at hand. I rely on Anna’s innate wisdom and deep listening to inspire me forward. I love the way she also blends her impressive knowledge of the natural world with her compassion for what makes us human. I recommend Anna and her services wholeheartedly.”
