Resilience is the ability to adapt to, recover from,and grow through adversity, change, and uncertainty.
The ability of something to return to its original shape after it has been pulled, stretched, pressed, bent, etc.
Thriving is achieving outstanding growth and flourishing despite or because of circumstances or conditions.

Think about a difficult situation that is a problem or challenge for you.
Reflect on that challenge as we do the following resilience practice.
©ACMP 2017 #ACMP2017
Powerful questions for resilienceRise to the challenge
What is the positive challenge or opportunity here?What is my bigger-than-self goal in this situation?What larger purpose might I serve in dealing with this situation? What is the hidden gift in this problem or situation?
Connect with others
Who might be able to help me here? How might they help me?Who else might be having this problem now? How might I help them?What wise advice would I give to my best friend in a similar situation?
Learn and grow
What might I learn from this situation? How might this make me bigger-better-stronger? How can I be my best in this situation?

Resilience practice in a nutshellAccept that life is one big long resilience practice.Show up for practice. Or you might wallow below the line.
PAUSE — are you above the line or below the line? If you’re below the line, welcome to being human.Accept it. Don’t panic. Take a few breaths.
Practice self-compassion — be your own best friend.Being overly hard on yourself (and others) is a surefire resilience killer.
Below the line? Seek higher ground! Use powerful questions for self and others.Focus on bigger-than-self goals. Ask yourself a powerful question or two. Embrace and make use of the healthy stress that comes with being a bigger-better you.
