BEFORE WE DIVE IN
Take two minutes for your pronunciation
What’s bouncebackability, you ask?
Well, it means the ability to bounce-back:
To recover quickly from a setback, illness or difficulty.
You see we all get sick.
We all make mistakes.
We all fall out of our routines.
And that’s why your ability to recover, to get back on track, matters so much.
Because things rarely go perfectly.
But accepting this and recovering as quickly as possible is vital.
So next time you suffer a setback, focus on shortening the time it takes to return to winning ways.
Turn a new page.
Show resilience.
Demonstrate that you have bouncebackability.
Until next week 👋

You can use recuperate, but only in specific contexts. Wither formal medical situations or when you need time for rest and recovery

“Back on track”
When something is back on track, it has returned to the right direction or normal progress after being interrupted, delayed, or messed up.
Think of a train:
If it comes off the rails, it can’t move forward properly.
Once it’s put back on the rails, it’s back on track.
“We’re behind schedule, but we’re back on track now.”
