Resilience Building
Psychologists agree that resilience is a character trait which helps determine how individuals perform when exposed to stressors, pressure and challenge, regardless of the environment we find ourselves in. It’s not about being immune to setbacks, being stoic, or suppressing negative emotion; It’s about being able to accept the facts of our circumstances, regulate our emotions and committing to a positive way forward, which focuses on finding solutions.
Resilient people have a strong sense of purpose and commitment to what they do.
- They make their work meaningful.
- They choose what they pay attention to, and they focus on what’s possible rather than what’s wrong.
- They can regulate their emotions and they manage their energy, as well as their time.
- They take regular breaks throughout the day to recharge, and they see challenges and setbacks as an opportunity to learn and grow.
- They are aware of and exploit their strengths. They have an optimistic outlook.
- They develop strong networks of social support.
*This last characteristic is one of the most important facets of managing our psychological wellbeing!*
The good news is resilience can be learned!
- At Inspire Evolution we offer Resiliency workshops, lasting from 1 hour to a full day. In addition to the delivery of the underpinning knowledge, or psychological education, we utilise a host of modalities from Mindfulness to cognitive and behavioural approaches.
- All our workshops contain underpinning knowledge regarding what resilience is, along with practical applications so attendees can take away and use specific techniques to help them in stressful times, but the content will be custom tailored to your specific requirements.
