This week\u2019s video in the resiliency series by psychologist Mick Lynch is The F Word<\/a> and it might not be the same F word you are thinking of. Resiliency is about being able to cope with a crisis or issue in life and being able to quickly recover and grow from the situation.<\/p>\n

In the video, he starts off by talking about the F word, which nobody likes to hear, say or talk about. The F word is\u2026failure. This is a word that comes up sometimes in life because everybody fails, but not everybody likes to admit it.<\/p>\n

When the word \u201cfail\u201d comes to mind, most people might think about school. Failing a test, quiz, assignment, etc. but there are other things in life that might cause failure such as relationships, goals or at a task. This word is almost always seen as negative.<\/p>\n

It might seem like the worst thing that could happen at the time, but there is some good that comes from failing. We learn a valuable lesson of what to do next time and how we can improve. Failing is inevitable and since nobody can be perfect, everybody fails and that\u2019s ok.<\/p>\n

I have failed multiple times in life. It\u2019s hard to just brush it off and see the lesson from it right away. However, practicing looking at a failure in a different light can help. Try to see the positive side or the lesson in the failure. For example, I once failed a Spanish quiz and thought I would fail the whole course. Instead of dropping the class and telling myself I couldn\u2019t do it, I just studied more the next time, talked to my professor for help and ended up getting a much better grade.<\/p>\n

Use your failures and mistakes in life to grow and do better the next time. Ask yourself these two questions; what did I learn? And how can I improve? That is how you can be a resilient warrior.<\/p>\n
