One Minute to Bounce Back, Bounce Forward, or Bounce Up fits beautifully into the TEDx theme of Unmuted because resilience is a voice. When life knocks us down, our silence often isn’t just the absence of words — it’s the absence of belief. Bouncing back means reclaiming that belief. In one minute, you can make a decision: I will not stay here. That’s the moment you unmute yourself to possibility.Bouncing forward is different. It’s not about returning to where you were — it’s about leaping into where you’ve never been. It’s speaking up for the life you want, even if no one else is speaking that language yet. That’s unmuted courage.And then there’s bouncing up — the vertical leap of spirit. It’s when you rise beyond your circumstances, not by force, but by truth. This is when you stop whispering your dreams and start declaring them.Unmuted isn’t just about volume. It’s about presence. It’s the power of taking the minute you have — the one you’re in right now — and using it to choose motion over stagnation. Whether you bounce back from loss, forward into the unknown, or up into your highest self, the moment you decide… you’re no longer muted.
