Hello: How is your month going? Spring is starting to show up in Toronto Canada. Cool days warm days, with a hint of snow (Brrrr), and spring flowers starting to show in the flower beds. I hope that summer arrives sooner than later.
Self-Definition And Resiliency
I mentioned in previous articles what I have discovered in the research about the power of resilience. I know first hand it can be learned and practiced. My challenges dealing with three brushes with death during two bouts of cancer and six major treatments were lessened due to the gifts that a resiliency practice brings into our lives. The benefits can be very large and uplifting.
So, no guilt here yet a friendly reminder to start, restart or boost your resilience. Here are some key first steps to boost your resilience.
How have you let life define you to date?
If there was an invisible dictionary that only you can see, what are the words, phrases, pictures, audio, and video clips you have allowed to live in your memories and define you?
Some build you up, some tear you down and some confuse you! Ensure you do housekeeping to acknowledge each of them. Then do what the database people might call a merge purge.
Out with those that are negative and nasty, confuse and or no longer define you. Be intentional and on purpose and on time creating more memories that acknowledge you in the present moment and in your future. A healthy self-definition is vital for our safety, happiness, and better outcomes.
Let me leave you with the question: “What are you doing currently to develop, deepen and or expand your resilience?” Your self-definition is a powerful place to start.
So until next time Imagine Yourself with more Resiliency for Life.
