Yesterday I attended an EMPOWER session on the Sunborn ship hotel in Gibraltar. I was a bit sceptical to be honest at first..
The day consisted for 3 speakers:
I am so inspired by all 3 people and each of their stories.
A few key points to share:
Life is not easy, no one ever said it was - however what life throws at us we can always conquer, and strive to tackle it head on.
Be kind, you never know what someone else is going through. 4 out of 5 people are struggling with something.
Ask more than one, when asked “how are you?” most of our instinct response is I’m fine, how are you? - if you ask more than once your more inclined to get a real response that could just help the person…
“Once you've given yourself the woe-is-me time, you can draw a line under that. Pity parties don't get you anywhere, you don't achieve much, but you can always control your attitude” Amy Conroy
An interesting thought to leave you with:
Our human brains were evolved to react more strongly to negative experiences than positive ones. It kept us safe from danger.. But in modern days, where physical danger is minimal, it often just gets in the way humans have to work harder to defeat the natural negative mind set.
