There are four main elements of resilience. The first one is purpose \u2014 akin to motivation and goal setting and what gets us out of bed in the morning. The second one is connection. \u00a0Those are relationships \u2014 anything that stops us from being isolated. The third ingredient of resilience is adaptability or flexibility. That\u2019s our skill to roll with things and go with the flow when unexpected stuff happens.And the fourth ingredient of resilience is hope. And that\u2019s about realistic opportunity for not just surviving, but to thrive, as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Purpose. Connection. Adaptability. Hope.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|10px|false|false” border_width_left=”2px” border_color_left=”#2d94e3″]<\/p>\n

They look completely different for each person, so there’s no wrong way to do resilience. Resilience is a powerful tool, no matter how you apply it in your own life. And a connection for one person is like one solid family member or a friend. For others, maybe a huge network of people that they socialize with, even online. So there’s no wrong way to have a connection.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s helpful to use the example of a tree
<\/strong>It\u2019s both a metaphor and an analogy, depending on how you look at it. The\u00a0purpose<\/strong>\u00a0is the fruit of the tree. What are you doing? What are you producing? What are you creating in your life?\u00a0<\/span>What\u00a0<\/span>are your goals and your motivations? And they really need to be reevaluated in a disaster and we can\u2019t stick to the old ones. We\u2019ve got to change them up a little bit, which is hard.<\/p>\n

Connections<\/strong> are the roots of the tree that ground it and give it support and nutrients. And a palm tree, for example, has a single taproot that goes way down deep. And that\u2019s all that tree needs, it\u2019s enough. And an oak tree has a wide network that spreads out just like people\u2019s individual needs are met differently.<\/p>\n

Adaptability <\/strong>is the skill that that tree has to sway in the wind. If a person, like a tree, is inflexible and rigid and will not adjust, it will crack and break. We\u2019ve seen that all over, not just in Washington, but all over the country. People needing to adapt to the changing circumstances, they\u2019re going to do a lot better.<\/p>\n

Hope <\/strong>is the last thing and hope is based on realistic opportunity. Hope is not optimism. Optimism is a little bit too much \u201cUnicorns and rainbows.\u201d Hope is about realistic opportunity for how to overcome challenges and where you can potentially thrive when you thought you just had to survive. And if you\u2019re going to extend the tree metaphor, hope is the moss that grows on the north side where it\u2019s dark and cold and you don\u2019t get the stuff, but it still does fine. It still thrives.<\/p>\n
