Mind Over Moment: Harness the Power of Resilience

by Anne Grady

Life is a collection of moments. Make them count.We are busier than we have ever been, frantically juggling personal and professional responsibilities, trying to keep up with endless demands on our time, energy, and attention, and it is taking a toll on our physical and mental health.It is time to take back control.Mind Over Moment is a science-based approach that allows you to become aware of your habits, beliefs, and behaviors to determine whether they are supporting the life you want or sabotaging it. Entrepreneur, best-selling author, and two-time TEDx speaker Anne Grady provides an arsenal full of practical tools and actionable strategies to help you break out of reactivity, reduce stress and anxiety, and create a life of purpose on purpose.With humor, wit, and raw vulnerability, Anne shares how she has put these principles into practice in her own life to survive the daily trauma of raising a child with severe special needs. In Mind Over Moment, she shows you how to do the same, challenging you to get out of your comfort zone, crush self-limiting beliefs, and break through barriers keeping you stuck to create the life you truly deserve.

I can’t say there were any great revelations here for me, but I read a lot of personal development books. I did appreciate the tone and sense of humor of the author and there were many great reminders and references from other books I’ve read. Especially at the first of the year, a refresher on what it takes to be resilient is definitely a good thing. Grady’s 3Ps of resiliency include not allowing yourself to take every failure as a reflection of you PERSONALLY, understanding that a failure is not PERVASIVE across all areas of your life, and there is no PERMANENCE in failure. It may feel like it will last forever in the moment, but logically, we know it won’t.

I saw Anne as the keynote speaker for a conference j attended back in November. This quippy little resilience manual is one I’ll find myself recommending to my stressed out over worked staff who also claim to not have time to read. I would go hear Anne speak again in a heartbeat, but failing that, the book will do.

It's easy to get discouraged. It's easy to throw up our hands and say, "Well, I guess this is just life." It's easy to settle for the life we have ended up with rather than create the one we deserve. Here's the thing, though: easy doesn't get us where we want to go, and easy comes with a price.

Anne Grady came to a work event earlier this year and our company bought everyone a copy of her book. This book follows the talk she gave very closely and while easy to read, I felt like she missed the opportunity to actually explain what the Mind over Moment practice was...and that's kind of the main idea.

Overall, a helpful book, with themes similar to Brene Brown.
