When you're facing something challenging, all of your emotional energy tends to go on, 'God, I hope this doesn't happen', rather than realising you've survived tough situations before.
In this episode of Sideways, Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle the concept of 'Psychological Body Armour' and how we emotionally brace ourselves for life's challenging situations. Through a mix of humour and heartfelt discussions, they explore the quirky lengths people go to avoid discomfort, like a man who builds a tunnel to avoid getting wet. The episode also features lighter moments, including Graham's attempt at an Irish accent and Martin's gratitude for an enthusiastic hug.
The duo brings a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice on building emotional resilience, making it a relatable and engaging listen for anyone dealing with stress or recovery. They touch on how focusing on past experiences can help us manage future anxieties, the importance of pausing and reflecting during tough times, and why acknowledging emotions is crucial for long-term well-being.
By sharing their own experiences and those of others, Graham and Martin offer valuable insights into preparing oneself mentally for life's ups and downs. If you're looking for a mix of humour, empathy, and practical tips on emotional resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
