Bounce Back Project

Bounce Back Project Bounce Back Project offers programs, tools and exercises to help people increase their happiness Some people just seem to be able to handle more than others.

CentraCare – Monticello has partnered with several organizations throughout our community to provide you with a variety of different tools and programs that will help you build and strengthen your own resilience. We all know what it's like to be overwhelmed and have too much on our plates. It's easy to become discouraged and feel the weight of everything and not know how to respond in a healthy way. Resilience is our ability to bounce back from the stresses of life. It's not about avoiding or denying stress, but rather, building good coping skills that we can use to deal with stressful situations. We used to believe that resilience is something that you were born with. While part of that is true, new research tells us that resilience is actually a skill - not just a personality trait - and it can be learned. Resiliency is made up of 5 Pillars:
- Self-Awareness
- Mindfulness
- Self-Care
- Positive Relationships
- Purpose

By strengthening these pillars, we in turn, become more resilient. Instead of experiencing a downwards spiral when we encounter stress in our lives, these five pillars work together to lift us up out of the chaos we are feeling. Obtaining and maintaining these skills, takes practice. We hope, by choosing to take part in the various Bounce Back Project programs offered by Buffalo Hospital, you will not only build your own resilience - but be healthier AND happier.

🍁 Fall Check-In: Your Mind Matters 🍁

As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, it's easy to get caught up in the rush of the season — busy schedules, upcoming holiday prep, family dynamics, and that quiet pressure to hold it all together.

But here’s your gentle reminder:
You’re allowed to slow down. You’re allowed to feel overwhelmed. You’re allowed to take care of you. 🌰☕️

This season, between the pumpkin spice and packed calendars, let’s not forget to:

🍂 Check in with our mental health
🎃 Set boundaries that protect our peace
🕯️ Rest without guilt
💬 Reach out if things feel heavy
🤎 Give ourselves the same kindness we give to others

The holidays can be beautiful, but they can also bring up stress, loneliness, or grief. And all of that is real. All of that is valid.

So, if you’re feeling it right now — you’re not alone.
Take a moment. Breathe deeply. Do one small thing today just for you. 💛

Has someone told you to “touch grass” lately? 🌱
It’s a modern way of saying: step away from the screen, take a breath, and reconnect with the world around you. Whether it’s a walk, sitting in the sun, or simply noticing the breeze—getting outside can ground you, refresh your mind, and boost your mental well-being.

Celebrate FREEDOM — not just the kind written in history books, but the freedom to start over, to heal, to grow, and to become.

GRATEFUL for the lessons, the love, the hard days, and the comebacks.

BOUNCE BACK isn't just a phrase — it’s a mindset. A refusal to stay down. A belief that even in the ashes, there’s a spark.

RESILIENCE is the quiet power that keeps us going when no one was watching. Still standing, stronger and wiser.

Here’s to every step forward, every deep breath, and every moment we choose not to give up. 💪🏽
