Resilience

The beauty of nature

Resilience, let me share the definition before I dive in into the topic. Resilience is the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. I think we have been all there when we face some bumps in the road ahead of us. There is saying about life gives you lemons make yourself lemonade. So its about how we respond to a difficult or tough situation. Personally I believe we always have a choice how to respond and create the best way to move forward during those times. There is a solution to whatever we are facing and those experiences enable us to a built up our capacity to withstand and to recover, so to sum it up being resilient.

At first when facing difficulties it can be quite hard to handle and emotions might be taking over before we are ready to make a rational decision to find a solution. It's okay, please embrace those emotions and don't judge yourself, take your time to understand what's going on for you. Once those emotions are felt and you can see more clearly again, you will be able to come up with an idea to solve those circumstances you are in.

I believe it's making a conscious choice to move from the emotional side to finding a practical solution. What I mean with that is to see your situation from another person's perspective and really consciously decide that you are ready to focus on what's possible, it becomes a solution based approach. It's easy to be trapped in the emotional site of it, so whenever you feel the emotions rising ask yourself the following questions what makes me feel that way? What is the benefit of feeling that way? What is possible to overcome this situation? What do I need to achieve this? It will help you to switch into gaining a wider perspective and understanding of your perspective. Please don't get me wrong, all you feel is okay and shall be embraced, but being to invested in the emotional turmoil you might not be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. With the above questions, you can help yourself to find a way forward moving into light and awareness.

We all have faced difficulties and we are resilient. During the choice of finding a solution, there are many different options to respond. There is a saying you cannot change your circumstances but how you respond to them. So let me explore what are possible options to do that. One could be, just to accept where you are at, making peace with the situation knowing it won't last forever and change is happening. Another one could be to walk away from what is happening after you had enough time to think through and make a rational decision about it. Another way could be to create the change that you want to see in your circumstances. Remember you are the driver of your life, you can decide what you want to do. All those options may depend on your situation, there is no one-time same solution about what to do. Just remember in what ever you do, you decide how to move on. Just make sure you are not too occupied in venting about what you may not be able to change but focus on what you actually can do. Ask yourself the questions I have shared with you. Understand your decision and then move forward in a more pleasurable direction. There is a way for you, keep on going. Sometimes getting distance can also help to see more clearly about a situation. Let it be and come back to finding solutions when you are ready. Pleas take any pressure you may feel away and understand you work in your own time to understand what is right for you. Also being patient in times like those will be beneficial, don't be too strict with yourselves but understanding and loving knowing that you will come out of it stronger. I wish you will find some good solutions for yourself during tough times, knowing that you are able to move forward finding solutions. Believe it's possible and it will be. With love and light, Sabine
