The Keys to Mental Resilience with Shahab Anari
In this episode, Roxanne Derhodge converses with Shahab Anari about his career shift, journey to Canada, and the role of resilience in challenging times. They delve into the influence of culture on mindset, strategies for building resilience, and overcoming business adversities. The dialogue also covers dealing with fear and uncertainty, and reflections on personal growth.
Key Points
- Resilience is the ability to overcome adversity, and it involves mastering our mindset and the way we talk to ourselves to empower ourselves and become more resilient.
- Challenging and changing our deeply held thoughts and beliefs, such as the misconception that one must speak English fluently to succeed as an immigrant in North America, can be critical to personal and professional success.
- When facing adversities or uncertainties, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, it's beneficial to be aware of our thoughts, challenge their validity, put things into perspective, and consider the worst and best-case scenarios to manage worry and fear effectively.
I think at one time or another, we all have setbacks in trying to keep up a positive and resilient mindset. Especially now after dealing with COVID for so long and another wave hitting and causing more setbacks. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome speaker and trainer, Shahab Anari to share some of his best tips on staying mentally resilient.
