How Resilient Are You?

Writer's picture: Juli WengerJuli Wenger

Who else is doing online school with their kiddo this week?


Send help. Or wine.


But seriously, how resilient are you these days?


Kennedy’s class is in a “close-contact” situation.


And it got me thinking about

.


The ability to have life throw a curveball and to step into the swing instead of recoiling. ⚾️


The ability to take a breath and respond instead of react. 🧘🏼‍♀️


This week is demanding a lot of resilience from me.


🔥🔥AND I HAVE IT! 🔥🔥


In spades ♠️ ♠️♠️♠️♠️


Because I have been showing up for me and doing my work.


❌That doesn’t mean I never get emotional.


❌That doesn’t mean I never get triggered.


But as I heard today, you have to get triggered to grow through the triggers!



✔️ What I have instead is an ability to be with the disappointment, the chaos, and the emotions.


And then to LET. THEM. GO.


Because staying emotionally hooked, as @brenebrown terms it, is of NO VALUE to anyone. Not to me or the people I serve.


So again:


How resilient are you these days?

Are you staying stuck or stepping through?
