The Power of Resiliency, Part 2

"Resilient people have a good sense of themselves and, therefore, have the ability to set priorities. They do not use up energy to try and please others and therefore are interiorly inoculated against peer pressure.

Resilient people are independent thinkers who use their energy on things they can control, rather than wasting time and energy on things that are out of their sphere of influence.

Like compassion and empathy, resiliency can be taught.

How to Teach Resiliency

1. Self-manage negative self-talk through dialogue and confrontation.
2. Listen to your positive inner voice, your true vocation.
3. Restoration and sleep.
4. Don’t take missteps personally – but rather see mistakes as teaching opportunities…. from which to learn and grow.
5. Self-choice. Meditation and breathing exercises.
6. Stay on target; know yourself so that you can establish realistic goals.
7. Competence creates confidence, and good self-esteem is based on experience.
8. Finally, be authentic."

Reflection:

Would you consider yourself to be a resilient person? How do you think one can gain resilience?

* I consider myself to be quite resilient. I think the main thing that builds resilience is exposure or the experiences you've gone through. They say struggle creates character and I'm sure it creates resilience too.*
