But then I took a step back, and instead of letting the rest of the day go its course, I made a conscious decision to try to change my state. This got me thinking about the idea of ​​”bounce back rate”, a term I’ve heard before. This refers to the ability to “bounce back” after stressful or negative situations. Negative situations are inevitable, and stress is also inevitable. The goal of the bounce-back rate is to minimize the time it takes for you to return to your baseline. It doesn’t ignore stress or negative emotions. Rather, it allows you to fully experience those feelings and then actively return to your calm, neutral state. It’s a simple concept, but it can make a meaningful difference in how your day progresses.
