BE RESILIENT: BOUNCE BACK & THRIVE IN CHALLENGING TIMES

Overview:

Let’s face it.  Life isn’t always easy. We all experience daily hassles, ongoing difficulties, and even traumatic events.  When life throws those curve balls, do you bounce back or do you fall apart?

Resilience is all about asking for help and recognizing when your way is not working.  Rather than going solo, resilient people look to their network and find someone who will share resources – and typically, people are very glad to provide help.

There’s no magic that will make bad things disappear and we may not be able to change everything in our lives, but we CAN learn to cope better with stressful events and those bad things that may be inevitable.  To be more effective, we have to get better at bouncing back – examining how we think and react, making a commitment to take action, and taking control of what we can.  Yes, resilience can be learned!
