When you’re challenged, do you
- try to solve it yourself or
- seek out others to share the load?
RESILIENCE is about RELATIONSHIPS
👉People provide a scaffold, a social support system
👉They’re part of your continuous RESILIENCE skill building regime
👉The right people, your friends & family, are in your frame, to support you
👉When there’s connection, they’ll cheer for you & inject the missing link
FIVE RESILIENT RELATIONSHIP EXERCISES
ONE - The Johari Window self-awareness activity seeks you to reveal yourself more & seek feedback to uncover blind spots. These two ‘frames’ give trust to strengthen resilient relationships, with yourself & others.
TWO - Reframing is the practice of changing the way you view events, to experience them more positively. It requires you to ask questions or involving your friend to reframe together.
THREE - Getting stuck in your self-talk can be replaced with sharing the talk out loud. Rather than ruminate, try a rumble (a Brené Brown vulnerable conversation) with your family or friend.
FOUR - Create resilience boosting activities using all 4 RESILIENCE areas:
· Social – connection
· Physical – movement
· Emotional – feelings
· Mental – mindset
My approach: Walking and discussing how you feel about solving a challenging idea. (Golf!)
What would you do?
FIVE - And whilst these are questionable RESILIENCE building exercises, I frame them positively:
· Solving a problem with a friend drinking a wine
· Shopping together
· Eating a huge meal with the family
This week I’m exploring your Resilience to get you ready for the remainder of 2020.
