I’ve found that the key to successfully returning to your baseline is to do so quickly. Maybe a vacation, an illness, an injury, or some other interruption to your routine sets you back, and you fall out of rhythm. This moment can leave you extremely vulnerable to defeatist thoughts that can easily fuel self-defeating behaviors. The faster you get back to an empowered emotional state, the higher you are on the resiliency spectrum and the more successful you will be at reaching your goals.
