Gridlaw 7: Develop a Robust and Reliable Bounce-Back Strategy
Why You Need a Bounce-Back Strategy
Life on the Grid can be unpredictable. There will be moments when you find yourself in a Grey Grid state—a place of emotional drought, despair, or stagnation.
One of the major keys to moving forward is having a robust and reliable bounce-back strategy that can pull, push, and propel you back towards the Green or Orange Grids as quickly as possible.
A bounce-back strategy is deeply personal—it is between you and yourself. It involves nobody else. It is a ritual of activities you perform that says, "I am going to solve this problem and get out of this Grey state."
It is imperative to develop your formula.
A strong bounce-back strategy is not just a safety net; it is an essential tool for maintaining momentum on your journey. It ensures that setbacks do not derail your progress but instead become opportunities for growth.
Developing Your Personal Bounce-Back Plan
Identify Your Grey Grid Triggers
Be clear about what tends to pull you into a Grey Grid state. Is it stress, failure, rejection, or overwhelm? Recognising these triggers helps you prepare for them.
Ask Yourself
Your bounce-back strategy should consist of actions, mindsets, and tools that empower you to shift your energy, refocus your thoughts, and regain control. Ask yourself:
What habits help you break free from your Grey Grid state?
Which activities recharge your energy and optimism?
Build a Toolbox of Strategies
Create a list of go-to actions that can lift you out of a Grey Grid state, such as:
Physical activities like walking, running, or dancing to reset your energy.
Journaling your thoughts to gain clarity and release negativity.
Listening to podcasts that inspire and uplift you.
Attending workshops for inspiration and skill-building.
Build Structured Habits
Include habits that create a framework for consistent growth and energy renewal:
Waking up early every day to perform a specific ritual.
Gridlisting to shift your focus from lack to abundance.
Vision boarding daily to place your mind in a different state.
Meditation or prayer to centre yourself.
Completing a 30-day Grid mission to remind yourself of your capabilities.
The list is endless—your formula should reflect what works best for you.
The Edge of the Grey Grid
Without a reliable bounce-back strategy, you may find yourself stuck at the Edge of the Grey Grid—a space where hopelessness and inaction linger. Your strategy is your way out, a reminder that even in your toughest moments, you have the tools to climb back up.
