January Theme Editorial: Resilience

Resilience is the quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and to come back stronger than ever. Instead of failure defining them, they find a way to rise from the ashes.

Cultivating a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate emotions, and the ability to see failure as a form of helpful feedback, is what makes one resilient. Even after misfortune, resilient people often develop an outlook where they are able to change course and move on.

Resilience is a practiced art, the ultimate art of living. At the heart of resilience is a belief in oneself.

“Resilient people do not let adversity define them. They find resilience by moving towards a goal beyond themselves, transcending pain and grief by perceiving bad times as a temporary state of affairs.” ~ Psychology Today

When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart?

“When you have resilience, you harness inner strength that helps you rebound from a setback or challenge, such as a job loss, an illness, a disaster or the death of a loved one. If you lack resilience, you might dwell on problems, feel victimized, become overwhelmed or turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as substance abuse.” ~ Psychology Today

“Resilience won’t make your problems go away — but resilience can give you the ability to see past them, find enjoyment in life and better handle stress. If you aren’t as resilient as you’d like to be, you can develop skills to become more resilient.” ~ Psychology Today

Factors that contribute to resilience include:

Close relationships with family and friends
A positive view of yourself and confidence in your strengths and abilities
The ability to manage strong feelings and impulses
Good problem-solving and communication skills
Feeling in control
Seeking help and resources
Seeing yourself as resilient (rather than as a victim)
Coping with stress in healthy ways and avoiding harmful coping strategies, such as substance abuse
Helping others
Finding positive meaning in your life despite difficult or traumatic events

Thank you for reading our newsletter. ~ Dianne McKenzie & Aeowyn, and Cecilie Bodman
