Resilience is a topic I’ve been wanting to speak about for a long time.
What does ‘resilience’ mean in this new way of being?
In this new way of being, we begin with the assumption that we are already resilient. Resilience is an innate capacity, not something we for ourselves to obtain. It’s an innate capacity we learn to access again.
Resilience has many faces.
Sometimes, it looks like rest.
Sometimes, it looks like meeting ourselves with compassion, and attuning to our internal signals, instead of overriding them with the mind.
Sometimes, it looks like the willingness to uncover what is shaping certain recurring unhelpful dynamics or patterns, the ones that keep us stuck, disconnected or unable to move forward with ease.
Resilience is also how we relate to struggles, our conditionings, and the difficult moments life brings.
It can even look like learning how to relax again.
Perhaps no one told us that resilience could take on so many forms - for some of us who are living in chronic exhaustion/ burnout, stuckness or collapse, resilience is having the courage to pause, to give ourselves the permission to break things down one step at a time.. to rest and to recalibrate; So that we can start to access our innate resilience once more, and even return to our natural state of Chill.
