Discovering Resilience in an Ever-Changing World
Even as a child, I wondered how people faced adversity and traumatic stress and remained strong. What was their magical technique or strategy that kept them resilient and empowered to face the next day with optimism and hope? Pursuing those questions, has been my “search for meaning” and understanding. Sorting through mounds of research and documents, I was compelled and obsessed with discovering the strategies of those who did not just survive, but knew how to thrive. In my mind, if I could just find the mysterious answer to “bouncing back” from adversity, I would be certain to feel more confident and less fragile.
Today’s pandemic has thrown us into a world we can’t understand or comprehend. The illusion of safety is far from our personal reality, as we all try and capture a footing to feel centered and balanced. Each day tends to bring subtle changes that tip us toward the fear spectrum, and the next moment into the realm of hope. When we tip toward those uncomfortable feelings, we find our emotional barometer moving toward anxiety, nervousness, damaging ruminations, complicated grief, faulty distortions and unrest within.
Sensing society’s need, Resiliency2020 emerged to help Americans discover strategies and techniques to build our resiliency quotient in our ever-changing world.
