What is the connection?
How well do we cope with adversity?
The better we manage our responses to adversity — the more resilient we are.
Twenty-twenty has undoubtedly been testing our resilience as we all operate in an uncertain environment. Changes have challenged our resilience to:
- our working life
- our ability to exercise
- how we destress
Many of us have lost connections with friends. Not only that — additional stress around:
- finances
- job stability
- our health
have added to our anxiety. We need to be more resilient than anytime before.
How can mindfulness help us to build resilience?
Mindfulness is taking time to connect with ourselves. When we practice mindfulness, we manage our stress better. Resilience allows us to keep going when times are hard. To keep trying — no matter what happens. Using mindfulness exercises and activities, we give ourselves a process to help us to build resilience.
Mindfulness helps us to slow down and develop our self-awareness. Once we can identify:
- how are we feeling?
