  1. “What is resilience?” Small Group Discussion

  2. Resilience • “Resilience is that ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever. Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes. Psychologists have identified some of the factors that make someone resilient, among them a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate emotions, and the ability to see failure as a form of helpful feedback. Even after a misfortune, resilient people (choose) an outlook that they are able to change course and soldier on”(Psychology today,2014)

  3. Self-esteem is the disposition to experience oneself as being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and of being worthy of happiness. - Nathaniel Branden Resilience:the ability to bounce back Improving self-esteem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BIye98Ryic p.41-43

Wellness StrategiesEnvironmental Wellness • Express gratitude for positive past experiences • Re-decide about early negative injunctions and self talk. • Create meaning from the past: • Personal mistakes: Goal is to forgive yourself concerning past mistakes- extend compassion to self. Discuss what meaning you can take from the experience. • Offences: address past offences against you by combining empathy/compassion with justice. What will be the consequence (psychologically, emotionally, behaviorally) of not forgiving? Discussion (catharsis and meaning) and boundaries (protection) are key. “Every significant change comes from a perception shift not from behavior or attitude change” - Stephen R. Covey
