 Pandemic Mental Toughness and Resilience

In these times of COVID-19 and ‘stay at home‘ restrictions – common reactions are stress and worry. These are difficult times.

There are things that can be done to change personal experience of the coronavirus pandemic. While fear, stress and panic are the first reactions to new, dangerous and stressful situations – they are not the only possible reactions.

Psychological resilience is the process of coping with situations involving adversity or stress. It has been defined as the ability to “bounce back” from negative events without falling into despair. And it is possible to develop and strengthen resilience and emotional stability.

For those in addiction recovery – it is critical to maintain emotional stability, sobriety and avoid relapse.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

Mental Toughness Tips

The brain is the strongest muscle in the body.

Navy SEALS, Olympic athletes and others use mental techniques, visualization and mindfulness to stay positive and achieve goals.

Below are some techniques that Navy SEALs use to be the best and to increase mental toughness. Mental preparedness is critical for surviving and enduring difficult situations.

  • Talk Positively To Yourself: Remember the 3 P’s:
    Bad things are Not Permanent, Not Pervasive and Not Personal.
  • Set Goals: Know what you want to achieve. Write it down. It could be as simple as eating less junk food snacks. Focus on progress.
  • Practice Visualization: Do not just fantasize about getting what you want: See yourself overcoming specific obstacles.
  • Create a Mental Trigger: This visualization must be strong. And it can be aspirational – such as thinking that nothing is going to stop the reaching of your goal.
  • If You Notice Hopeless or Despair Setting In. . . Pull that trigger!

4 Ways to Create Mindfulness

Beginning to worry in stressful situations is common for most individuals. Without realizing it, we can drift off into a quicksand of thoughts, memories and worst case scenarios.

Mindfulness brings us back into the current moment. Mindful awareness takes us away from over-thinking and building scenarios of doom.

How to Remain Hopeful Tips

The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has the potential to increase stress and anxiety for those with PTSD.

From VA National Center for PTSD:
Managing Stress Associated with the COVID-19 Virus Outbreak

  • Consider the stressful situation in a broader context and keep a long-term perspective.
  • Look for opportunities to practice being more patient or kind with yourself, or to see the situation as an opportunity to learn or build strengths.
  • Celebrate successes, find things to be grateful about, and take satisfaction in completing tasks, even small ones.
  • Give yourself small breaks from the stress of the situation by doing something you enjoy.
  • Draw upon your spirituality, those who inspire you, or your personal beliefs and values.
