Let’s face it; life is hard at times and also very rewarding. Most people have at some point questioned, “Why am I experiencing so many challenges? Work, school, health, finances, you name it! No matter how great we think we are, we all deal with challenges daily.
Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, challenges are a part of life and can actually be harnessed to improve our quality of life. Fortunately, while situations like health crises, aging, losing a loved one, professional problems, and financial crises cannot always be avoided, we may improve our ability to recover from them and deal with them. The secret ingredient? Resilience.
Resilience helps you to handle challenging circumstances, bounce back and even accept them as part of your transforming process. In this post, we’re going to be looking at NeurOptimal® and how this revolutionary neurofeedback brain training system can help build resilience. Before we launch into it, we need to answer one question – what is resilience?
What Is Resilience and Why Does It Matter?
Adversity is the order of life. Terror attacks, natural disasters, war, bullying, abuse, sadness, a lack of purpose – we could go on and on but we think you get the picture. Resilience is what keeps us going in the face of adversity. It is the capacity to cope with difficult situations and recover. It has a lot to do with flexibility, adaptability, and perseverance.
Resilience is important because it helps us cope with different stressors in a healthy way. While we can’t change life’s challenges, we can change how we respond to and overcome them. Resilience can help you harness the power of positive emotions to cope with hardships. Greater resilience results in improved academic performance, career progression, better health, emotional well-being, and overall better life.
The good thing about resilience is that it is a variable trait. It can increase or decrease, it is not fixed. It also varies from one situation to another and from one person to another. Building our resilience is not always easy, but with neurofeedback brain training, you can support your brain to become more resilient.
Check out Mark’s story who in the face of adversity is feeling so much more positive after using the NeurOptimal® Brain Training System.
NeurOptimal® Brain Training for Better Resilience
NeurOptimal® Brain Training involves the use of Non-linear Dynamical Neurofeedback technology to support your brain to perform better. Neurofeedback training involves Electroencephalography (EEG) to track brain activity and offer real-time feedback via interrupts in the music whilst observing visuals. This intern supports your brain to come back to the present where your brain can better self-regulate and optimise.
When it comes to resilience, NeurOptimal® brain training promotes relaxation and supports the management of mental health challenges such as anxiety and low mood. Here are the ways NeurOptimal® builds resilience:
1). Keeps You Calm in the Face of Adversity
You’ve just been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, or just found out you were going to lose your job… of course, you will more than likely freak out and your mind will be all over the place.
The good news is, no matter what type of stress you are facing, NeurOptimal® can support you if you’re stressed and help you to remain calm so that you can be proactive rather than reactive. If you are about to lose your job, for example, you can focus on getting another job or look for ways to keep your current job instead of going into negativity. Don’t get me wrong, it’s normal to feel these emotions but getting ‘stuck’ in them is a problem.
2). Enhances Problem Solving Skills
Most problems have solutions, but when we’re angry, experiencing grief, or depressed about certain things, it can be hard to think straight. NeurOptimal® can significantly improve your problem-solving skills by supporting your brain to come back to the present which promotes brain flexibility, resilience and clarity.
3). Fosters the Will To Adapt
Most times when we’re facing stressful situations, we know what the right thing to do is, but we just can’t seem to find the willpower to do so. This dynamical approach (NeurOptimal® system) interacts with the brain’s inherent optimisation mechanisms to enhance the positive functions of your central nervous system. In this sense, you will more likely focus on what is helpful and move towards positive actions whilst also coping better.
4). Others
NeurOptimal® brain training can help in many other ways that improve resilience:
- Supporting confidence building
- Better capacity to breathe deeply and slowly, which will aid in meditation and relaxation
- Improved capacity to remain composed in circumstances where you would ordinarily become tense and reactive
- Acceptance of things one can’t change
- Improved capacity to engage in beneficial habits like nutrition, exercise, and social interaction
- Getting a good night’s sleep to be ready for the day that comes
- Greater consistency in a person’s emotional state from one situation to the next
