Resilience
Re-Thinking Resilience
How we can influence our grit by changing our response to adversities
Our Responses Make the Difference
"Know yourself." This ancient Greek saying holds much wisdom. Research shows that resilience is a key factor for success in both work and life. The secret to resilience lies in the combination of thinking accurately and applying the right skills. It’s not about what happens, but how we respond to what happens, which has the greatest impact on our resilience and the direction of our lives.
From Belief to Growth
Mindset: How Beliefs may Hold us Back
We often think that our feelings and behaviors are simply reactions to what happens around us, but there's something we're overlooking: our beliefs. Our mindset is the lens through which we view the world, and just like the Muppets Statler and Waldorf criticizing everything from the balcony, we often criticize ourselves, which holds us back.
Learning Resilience: Growing through Challenges and Failure
The good news: resilience can be learned. It starts with the belief that challenges are opportunities to grow. Failure is not the end, but an opportunity to learn. Resilience means daring to step outside your comfort zone, embracing mistakes as learning experiences, taking risks, and being open to change. It helps you persevere, let go of self-criticism, and strengthen your self-confidence.
Resilience Skills
True resilience begins with awareness. Not just of your thoughts, but also of your body. In the busyness of everyday life, it’s easy to lose touch with the signals your body sends — sometimes because you ignore them, but often because you don’t recognize them. Understanding how your brain and body work together helps you make sense of those signals and respond to them in a targeted way. That way, you can apply resilience skills that truly match what you need in the moment.
