This week we reflect on resilience. When I think of resilience, I think of standing strong in the face of adversity or challenges. However, when I looked up synonyms for resilience, an interesting twist revealed itself. One aspect is indeed strength and hardiness, but another aspect is flexibility and adaptability. This adds a whole new dimension, and an important one, to resilience.
Whenever we face a challenge, we may tend to dig in our heels, as if facing a strong wind, to make sure we don't get toppled over by adversity. However, as seen in nature, the trees and branches that best survive the storms are the ones willing to bend and adjust. So it is with us... We need to be strong and flexible, hardy and adaptable.
Another way of saying this is that we are best served by accessing both the masculine and feminine aspects of our consciousness. Through the connection to, and the use of, both aspects (left brain and right brain) we find ourselves "in the flow" rather than resisting life. We then dance with life and the changes that come our way.
So we jump into our journey this week with "Win the Battle In Your Head: Perspective Matters". Peter Ruppert writes about our choice of perspective between a fixed mindset and a growth mindsets.
We then continue our travels into resilience with Stacee Reicherzer who shares suggestions for you "If You’ve Contracted COVID: Healing and Moving Forward".
Bill Plotkin then invites us to participate in "Awakening to the Dream of the Earth and Loving the World". This plays a major part in transitioning from the current state of the world, and its inhabitants, to a more loving reality.
Mary Cronin focuses on the young people in our lives in "How To Use Family Stories To Build Young People's Resilience". And of course, suggestions made for children and young adults, usually can be applied to us as well, as we mostly still have some unresolved child issues within us... so, in some aspects, we're still children too.
We complete our featured articles this week with "4 Ways to Build Your Tolerance of Ambiguity—and Your Global Career" written by Paula Caligiuri. While this article focuses on career building, its 4 suggestions apply to all areas of life. For example, increase your mindfulness, or slow down your decision-making, two of her four methods.
We become more resilient as we become more mindful, slow-down, adopt a growth mindset, adapt to change, and ask ourselves "what does it mean to love the world?" And then, we start to put all of that into practice. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it... and that somebody is you, and you, and you, and me.
Please scroll down for the featured articles in this new issue of InnerSelf, and also the additional new articles that were added to the website during the week.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week. May you be strong and flexible in your day-to-day experiences.
