Everyone experiences situations that test our resilience at some point in life. Our emotional, mental, spiritual and physical health work together to help us ride the waves of life with little negative effects. Resilience is often referred to as your "bounce back" ability.
Sometimes life's events overwhelm our coping skills and leave us feeling as if we are running "on empty"; with no bounce back left. The events that activate the loss of resiliency are different for everyone.
For some it will be an injury or illness, marriage or divorce, or loss of job. For others it will be a natural disaster, a new baby or the death of a loved one. And others will have a collection of micro traumas that collect over time and erupt with a less life altering situation such as a change in job duties, reporting to a new boss, or having to return to office after working at home for years.
Resilience is the ability to adapt and overcome to the changes or misfortune in our lives without suffering negative consequences.
It's our individual ability to adjust to new or changing situations and stress without suffering long lasting emotional, psychological, physical, or spiritual injury.
Resilience is your invisible shield for mental health.
In life we have a series of events that we navigate daily. A missed bus, a traffic delay, an unplanned meeting. These activating events are like waves in the ocean. We often adapt and overcome many events on a regular basis. When the challenges feel too hard or are too frequent, our resiliency wears down and our ability to adjust quickly begins to fade. In it's place you may notice increased negative feelings and thoughts, changes to sleep and eating patterns, relationships become more adversarial.
