Build resilience from "summary" of Simple Habits for Complex Times by Jennifer Garvey Berger,Keith Johnston
Resilience is not about bouncing back from adversity; it is about deepening your capacity to navigate through the complexities of the world. It is about building the capacity to withstand and learn from the challenges and uncertainties that come your way. Resilience involves being able to see the bigger picture, to understand the interconnectedness of things, and to adapt to changing circumstances. To build resilience, you need to cultivate a growth mindset - a mindset that sees challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. This means being open to new perspectives, being willing to experiment and take risks, and being able to learn from failure. It also means being able to let go of the need for certainty and control, and to embrace the uncertainty and ambiguity that are inherent in complex times. Resilience also involves developing a strong sense of self-awareness - the ability to reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and actions, and to understand how they impact your relationships and your decision-making. This self-awareness allows you to recognize your strengths and weaknesses, to acknowledge your biases and blind spots, and to take responsibility for your own growth and development. Another key aspect of building resilience is developing a sense of connection and belonging. This involves cultivating strong relationships with others, building a supportive network of peers and mentors, and fostering a sense of community and belonging. These connections provide you with the support and encouragement you need to navigate through difficult times, and they help you to see beyond your own perspective and to appreciate the diversity of experiences and viewpoints that exist in the world. In summary, building resilience is about developing the capacity to navigate through the complexities and uncertainties of the world with grace and skill. It involves cultivating a growth mindset, developing self-awareness, and fostering connections with others. By building these capacities, you can become more adaptable, more resourceful, and more effective in engaging with the challenges and opportunities that come your way.
