3 Books to change how you think, reduce anxiety and build resilience. These 3 books each came at the perfect time to build resilience in my life. One prepared me for unexpected change, one helped me cope through devastating trauma and imprisonment and one helped me overcome crippling anxiety in order to rebuild a future. There have been many books but these are ones I would recommend to anyone in business, anyone suffering anxiety and anyone who fears failure. My business would not be successful without the influence of these 3 books. Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, M.D. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl Failing Forward by John C.

Here are 3 questions you can ask yourself when you are tormented by negative thoughts. The strongest prison bars are in your head. Not every thought is yours. Sometimes they just fly in. You don't have to own them.  1. Ask where did it come from? Question the source. It often starts with a feeling that becomes a thought. When you listen to negativity it can make you agitated. Maybe you are tired, hungry or cranky. Maybe you've been scrolling down some unpleasantness on social media.  2. Does it help me or hurt me? Does it encourage you or does it make you feel heavy or hurt and down, anxious and depressed? Is it making you feel angry at someone and you weren't angry before? Chewing over the angry thought only creates more angry thoughts, like a bird that could fly over or you could let it build a nest in your hair. Don't give it the attention that lets it stay.  If it hurts you you can do the exercise we did in another post "How to Answer Your Negative Thought in 2 Minutes Without Feeling Stupid" to reframe how you talk to yourself about it.  3. Do I have to agree with it? NO you don't! Maybe you were "hangry" - hungry and angry. I might feel like it but when I've had food, a drink and a rest, I may feel differently so the thought was not true. You can take that thought captive! Maybe it was a lie!  How you see determines how you succeed.   Trish Jenkins is a motivational speaker who works with organizations that want to help their leaders and teams to unlock resilience, adapt to change and love leadership.

Just as running is more powerful than walking, so too speaking is more powerful than thinking. Answer a negative thought with positive, spoken words.  Speaking beats Thinking. Trish demonstrates the example of how to answer anxiety.  The strongest prison bars are in your head and it's time for a jail-break!  Entertaining and engaging, inspirational, motivational speaker Trish Jenkins delivers virtual (online) and live keynotes, workshops and interviews for leaders and teams on how to build resilience, adapt to change and love leadership.

When that tiny 92 year old lady looked up at me, I couldn't hold back. It was life giving, not life risking. I encourage you to contact your Grandies today and give them a virtual hug. They are starving for it and it will make you feel happier too. Dust off your Facebook profile, find your Grandies and give them a virtual hug through video messenger or any other way they can see you. Or you might even do it over the phone!

Paul "Skip" Smith has led and grown organisations for more than 20 years. He shares the journey and I pressed him on the toughest times and asked how he responded to them. 

Skip talks about regularly checking in with his guiding values and his "Why". He also happens to be a pastor!

He also talks about where he'd taken his eye off the ball and how that resulted in a coup d'etat while he was on vacation, finding himself and his wife jobless and  both facing health crises including a frozen shoulder and his wife undergoing surgery for a brain tumour!

How do you go through that and come out the other side into a fantastic position? Skip is currently the National Ambassador for Alpha Australia, making a huge impact. He will share all this and more. Be encouraged!
