The skill of resilience

Don’t you love the idea of refusing to be the victim?  And the proactive idea of expending your energy where it can make the most difference – on finding a solution?

But what I find most interesting in this quote is the idea that resilience is a skill at which you can improve.  What does that skill-building look like in real life?  Here are just a few examples:

• Observing that when you start to feel agitated in your hurt that going for a short hike can reset your mood, and then taking those hikes when you need them
• Seeking out a good counselor to work with in a crisis so you get the support you need to grow strong again
• Creating a plan to move you out of a bad situation, then implementing that plan step by step
• Saying ‘no’ to those who would push you in a direction that continues your hurt
• Creating a gratitude practice to help you align with feelings of strength and positivity
• Improving your sleep regimen so you finally get the 7.5 hours of sleep a night you need in order to perform your best

There are many more.  Are you focused on solutions, or blame?
