EMOTIONAL RESILENCE

 

Life is not a battle to be fought but a mystery to be lived. Living in the era of technological revolution, every ten years we adapt to quantum changes that never existed in our life before. Examples of the 21^st Century range from  rigorous digitalization to the 24/7 social media influence, from the changing professions to adapting with the ways of Gen Y. For some the change is welcome for others even a little change of plans can leave such a person  in a state of anxiety and panic.

 

Life has it twists and turns….Often our dreams become nightmares; our carefully crafted projects become disasters; disruptive change Emotional resilience is the strength to power through the storms of disruption change  which makes you feel lost and helpless e.g.  life presents tragedies like the loss of a loved one or a broken marriage.  Getting tied down with the daily stressors of life can be a big reason that we lose our emotional resilience. An individual who has weak resilience tends to become more sensitive, over-reactive, and emotionally unbalanced.

 

RESILENCE - THE HIDDEN RESERVE FORCE

Emotional resilience is an art of living that is entwined with self-belief, self-compassion, and enhanced cognition. It is the way through which we empower ourselves to perceive adversities as ‘temporary’ and keep evolving through the pain and sufferings. We outlast the bad situation and do not think of a big crisis as the “end -of- the -road” or lament in self pity “… life will never be the same again….” Resilience is the capacity to maintain competent functioning in the face of major life “stressors”

 Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient. When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realize that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.”

 

 

With Emotional Resilience you not only can deal with the situation effectively, you also safeguard yourself from the emotional devastation. The old saying “The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived” Strong people alone know how to organize their suffering so as to bear only the most necessary pain.”

 It is tapping  the reserve ability to maintain competent functioning in the face of major life “stressors” The secret to the art of great living is to BOUNCE BACK from what psychologists have termed “prolonged grief disorder” Studies have indicated that resilient individuals can deal with stress more effectively. They can bounce back from any stressful situation with positive energy and confidence, and they are more likely to learn lessons from traumatic encounters rather than get overwhelmed by them

Emotional resilience is  the way through which we empower ourselves to perceive adversities as ‘temporary’ and keep evolving through the pain and sufferings. In a broad way, emotional resilience means bouncing back from a stressful encounter and not letting it affect our internal motivation. It is not a “bend but don’t break” trait, rather resilience is accepting the fact that ‘I am broken’ and continuing to grow with the broken pieces together. Emotional resilience is when you are able to calm your frantic mind after encountering a negative experience. It is intrinsic motivation, an inner force by which we can hold ourselves through all the downsides of life and get back on the track.
