## Resource

Eryn and L' Shawn conduct a guided journal discussion on prompt number 4 in the second section of their guided journal, "Coaching Nuggets of Wisdom to Inspire. Explore. Act. Flourish: A guided journal to live your best life." This section focuses on deeper exploration of their ways of being in the world and the prompt looks at emotional resilience. The prompt introduces the concept of buoyancy as having inner strength and emotional resilience to rise again after challenges, emphasizing that it's not about never sinking but always finding a way to come back up. Eryn and L' Shawn discuss their experiences with staying buoyant during challenging situations. L' Shawn explains how she practices staying buoyant by acknowledging emotions without judgment and focusing on the present moment, using the metaphor of a buoy in water to illustrate how she can realign herself when feeling overwhelmed. Eryn describes a recent situation in a business meeting where she had to recognize and process anger before responding, demonstrating growth in her ability to stay buoyant. They discuss how humor can be used as a tool for disrupting depressive cycles and providing relief after difficult situations.
