We've all heard of terms IQ and EQ, which are commonly used. But have you heard of AQ? Being able to handle these rough periods we all go through is not only important in our personal lives but in our professional lives too.
Adverse situations can take us by surprise and shock us. Failed friendships and relationships, financial hard times and even sorrows of losing beloved ones can occur outside of work. AQ measures our ability to withstand the shocks when life throws curveballs at us and can be used to predict our resilience (承受力) when there is a dramatic change. So how can we learn to be more resilient?
Luckily, there are some steps you can take to help you be more resilient in the face of adversity. _Resilient people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired outcome, seeing negative situations as a bump in the road on the way to achieving their goal. Learning to relax and regulate your emotions is another key step. One way to help you out of stress is by practising breathing exercises. Similarly, fcusing on unhappy or uncertain things can cause you to be stressed. See difficulties more as an opportunity to learn and grow emotionally. Finally, make sure you have a good social support network.
