Building Inner Resilience in Stressful Times

EPISODE  50 

Being our real selves can be difficult even when we are not under duress. How do we build the inner resilience to still act with authenticity even in times of stress and adversity?

In this episode I discuss three factors that impact our inner resilience:

- our level of integration (healing)
- our ability to self-regulate when we are triggered,
- and the availability of the right kind of external support.

REFLECTION PROMPT
Listen.
- As you listened to my sharing earlier, was there anything that particularly resonated with you? What was it?

Ponder.
- Ponder how resilient do you feel you are right now, with everything that's going on in your life?
- On a scale of 1 to 10, how well do you feel you are really responding?
- How full or empty is your tank; your tank that contains self-compassion, wisdom, resourcefulness?

Act.
- Think of one concrete way that you can top up your tank.
- Think of a way you can give some compassion to yourself or allow someone else to give you compassion.

For full details of this reflection prompt, please see transcript.
