Ready Set RESILIENCE

Dec 14, 2020

Resilience.  We have all heard this word but do you know what the true definition of resilience is?

Resilience:  The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.

Psychological resilience:  Psychological resilience is the ability to mentally or emotionally cope with a crisis or to return to pre-crisis status quickly. Resilience exists when the person uses "mental processes and behaviors in promoting personal assets and protecting self from the potential negative effects of stressors". 

So what does it take to be resilient?  What tools do you need to have in order to build up your resiliency muscles?  Why is being resilient a game changer?

What if we used hard times to launch us into a whole other dimension of resilience?  

What if we:

• Didn't allow the hard times to paralyze us and keep us stuck. 
• Choose to look at hard times as an opportunity for growth?  An opportunity to strengthen our resiliency muscle?
• Focus on the things we can change and accept what we can’t?
• Acknowledge the negative but choose to tune into the good?
