Resilience

​“Resilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt. You fall. But you keep going.”
~Yasmin Mogahed
 
The Pandemic has put me out of sorts and has hampered my productivity recently. I know people who have fallen down yet gotten up, still others who have been hurt but have found healing. Unfortunately, I also know people who have not been able to get up or heal. What makes some people more resilient than others? What are the traits that give us the strength and courage to keep going?
 
Research suggests that resilient people share similar traits:

• Self-awareness
• Self-confidence
• Flexibility
• Ability to handle emotions
• Centered- and connectedness
• Good communication skills

 
But in the end, we recognize resilience within ourselves and others when we see it. I would love hear stories of how you or those close to you have handled difficult situations in the past. Understanding how we managed challenges in the past can offer insights on unlocking resilience today. By sharing our stories, we gain strength and understanding. And if you want to take that one step further to find the key to your own resiliency, I’m here to help.
