Resilience - Mobilize your resilience

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from difficult situations. Resilient people have high psychological strength, self-regulate, manage stress, take responsibility, accept challenges, focus on solutions, and maintain positive relationships. They look ahead and shape their future with optimism.

Resilience - Mobilize your resilience

The most difficult time in

Our lives is the best

Opportunity to develop inner strength.

Dalai Lama

  Resilience goes back to the Latin verb resilire, which means "to bounce back, jump off, or rebound." The verb resistere in the sense of "to resist" is also associated with resilience and indicates what it is all about. Resilient people have a high psychological resilience. They are resilient and flexible. They draw on their own resources and success strategies to cope with all kinds of situations. Resilience is a competence that not only significantly shapes professional satisfaction but also private happiness. Resilient people have the ability not to be "beaten down" by difficult life situations or to break under them. They handle challenges better when they have a wide range of resources. Serenity, flexibility, and resilience or resistance can be developed and strengthened. Strengthen your performance, resilience, and joy of life. 

The Competence Fields - Development & Strengthening of Resilience

Self-Regulation & Self-Care

Resilient people take care of themselves and put themselves in a resourceful state. "I am the most important person in my life!" is the motto of their lives. It is not the only but the first responsibility for your well-being. Resilient people pay attention to the body's signals and take them seriously and counteract them! Influence and do not ignore. It's worth taking a look!  

Tension Regulation

Resilient people are like "weebles" - they start to interrupt the crisis dynamics and reduce crisis stress, as stress in particular leads to blockages in the brain, concentration weaknesses, wrong decisions, and performance losses. Resilient people strengthen their physical resilience through movement and relaxation. They allow themselves breaks in everyday life and go offline more often.  

Self-Efficacy & Self-Responsibility

Resilient people are proactive and take self-responsibility for their own experiences and actions. They build self-power and become joyful creators and directors of their own lives. Resilient people are witnesses and cost calculators of their own thoughts and actions. They replace limiting beliefs with a favorable mindset.  

Acceptance

Resilient people accept changes, setbacks, disappointments, and losses as part of their lives. Accept what happens. Acceptance means accepting reality whether it is good or not. Things are always as they are, but we do not always want to accept it and then the complaining and arguing follow. We do not want to accept it because we confuse it with consent. We must get used to separating acceptance and consent, these are two different domains. Practicing acceptance means accepting that it is as it is, regardless of whether I like it or not.  

Solution Orientation and Creativity

Resilient people do not focus their attention on analyzing the problem situation and exploring possible causes longer than necessary. They focus their attention on solutions. "It is what it is (acceptance) and WHAT do I want to happen NOW?" Resilient people overcome themselves and confidently and courageously leave the pain-free comfort zone of old and inadequate solutions.  

Realistic Optimism

Optimism means that you tend to expect positive results regardless of time and situation. You focus on the opportunities and possibilities that are available to you. Resilient people have a positive self-concept and a confident, positive expectation. 

Relationships and Network

Resilient people pay attention to others, assigning themselves and others the same value and importance as human beings. They respect themselves and others as individuals. Resilient individuals seek out an intact social system that provides them with support and stability. Social relationships satisfy the basic human needs for connection, protection, and security. A stable network has a "buffer effect." The support of other people helps to cushion the negative effects of a critical life event or stress.  

Future Orientation

Resilient individuals are able to leave behind what is behind them and focus on what lies ahead. They take the initiative to actively shape their own future. They set goals that align with their own values. Solution orientation refers to the fundamental belief that a problem is solvable.
