Now that we've talked about how change is impacting you and what you're doing to take care of yourself within, that's good management on your partner, simply Good luck. I'd like you to determine what kind of shape you're in find this worksheet called assess your resiliency. A couple things I'd like to point out on the outside of this wheel, you will see each of the dimensions we've just talked about, vocational, social, physical, emotional, etc. And there's also a scale, if you will, one in the center would reflect a low score, and 10 on the outside would reflect a high score. Paul, I'd like you to do is to consider at this moment in time in your life, what kind of shape Are you in on each of these dimensions? So socially?

What kind of shape Are you emotionally? What kind of shape Are you in and simply put an extra checkmark on these axes? Don't overthink this, but you might want to just push pause for a second and put some checkmarks or x's on your assessment tool. Here's an example of what it might look like now. This is just an arbitrary example, of course, yours would have certainly look very different. First thing I want you to do is to connect those checks or axes, whatever you've got on your assessment.

And let's see what the shape is. Now, what does this shape look like to you in this one? Maybe it's an amoeba, I have no idea what it looks like. But there's a couple of characteristics, I'd like you to think about what would be the overall roundness of this thing, and the second would be the size. So if you were to imagine that this is a wheel of your life, if you will, first of all, what overall round shape does it have? Or does it in this case, this would be a pretty rough ride.

If this was a wheel on a bike and you were going for a bike rack would be a clump, but from flip flop, it would be hard to get it in motion, keep it in motion, of course. So the one thing is the overall roundness of it off. The second thing would be what's the overall size now we can be perfectly round and it would be two to two tu tu tu tu. So while that's round and it would roll, it will take a fair amount, if not a significant amount of energy to keep this thing moving this little wheel of your life. And if you've ever ridden a small bike like a tricycle versus a big bike like a road bike, you'll know the difference of the kind of energy it takes to keep the smaller wheels turning. There's a couple things that are really important to pay attention to here a, this particular image reflects your shape as it is right now, today, this is a very fluid image, this can change daily, weekly, monthly, and there will be some tendencies over time that you might want to track.

But this is a fairly dynamic beast, if you will. The second thing, there is a direct and immediate correlation to the size of this and the roundness of this your overall sense of resiliency. Higher, rounder is better of course. So your level of resiliency is directly connected, immediately impacting your ability to deal with change. The third thing is you are 100% in control of this organization is not in charge of this, your significant other is not a charge of this, this is yours. This is where you can actually put some effort to get and stay in better shape overall, to continue to roll with the punches of change.

So, I'd like you to think about pick one of the axes that might be for you, and in this moment in time, a little lower than you might think. What could you do to perhaps get in a little bit better shape? So maybe you might think about, how would we improve our resiliency for dealing with ongoing change by simply focusing on one of these dimensions, and that's probably a reasonable place to start, especially if it happens to be noticeably low and you would reflect that it has has been noticeably low for a while now. So that's one thing. The second thing to think about is, I bet that this isn't the first time you thought about this. So what gets in the way, when you've tried to do these kinds of things in the past?

Remember, you've got 100% control over this. Now, I don't want you to to off a whole big mouthful of I need to do three things, here are five things. Let's start with just one thing, pick one of those axes and, and I'd like you to just make a note to yourself, simply by finding this other worksheet, this action plan, so put your name on it, put today's date on it, maybe some other people might be involved with this resiliency piece for you right now. This is all yours. So I'd like you to make a commitment to yourself. So this would be maybe one, no more than two things that you will do.

Could be within the next week. Maybe it's within the next month. But this resiliency stuff can all be very short term. So at least one thing, no more than two. I'd like these to be Kind of compelling, a little bit intriguing kind of Ooh, this might be actually kind of fun things to do to get and stay in better shape. Overall.

Remember, this is something you have 100% control over
