Finding Resiliency in Failure
I am often asked how I listen to stories of sadness or other problems each day, my response is, ‘I love to see how resilient we are as human beings,’. I am always amazed at how our brains and bodies find ways to cope and overcome the challenges we face. Even though, these coping patterns may be unsustainable over time they kept us alive and moving. There is strength and room for celebration in this.
I have always held the personal ideal of allowing moments of failure to be stepping-stones we can use, not stumbling blocks. My personal journey has taught me some basic strategies about resilience during times of perceived failure I would like to share.
