Geoff's experience shows how acknowledging the situation, focusing on positive emotions, and avoiding counterproductive emotions can help build resilience.
Remember: building resilience is a muscle that requires strengthening over time. Resilience is about growing in the face of adversity, not merely surviving.
Before adversity, it is important to build a buffer of emotional and physical reserves to better handle tough times.
Doing things that bring balance and recentering are important resiliency tools.
Reframing from pervasive negatives (like everyone is lazy) to specific negatives (like Jim is lazy) and permanent hardship (my job seems impossible) to temporary hardship (my job seems impossible this week) can help increase persistence in the face of obstacles.
Quotes:
“ Not all adversity causes trauma.” - Cindi Baldi (From the research of George Bonanno.)
“Resilience is not a stable trait.” - Geoffrey Tumlin
“You have to look adversity it in the eye and deal with it the way that it is. Then, you can go forward, plan, and react.” - Cindi Baldi
