Resilience and Developing Optimism
June 27, 2012
Resilience is the ability to overcome obstacles along the way. Alignment and envisioning help you find out where you want to go, and resilience helps you get there.
We can train resilience on three levels:
1. Inner calm: Once we can consistently access the inner calm in the mind, it becomes the foundation of all optimism and resilience.
2. Emotional resilience: Success and failure are emotional experiences. By working at this level, we can increase our capacity for them.
3. Cognitive resilience: Understanding how we explain our setbacks to ourselves and creating useful mental habits to help us develop optimism.
I love the topic of resilience. This is the basis for ease in any situation. When you gain a resilient mind set and energy you gain that inner calm in even the toughest moments. All very good parts to the whole Chade.
