September the 21., autumn had kicked in again.
Bringing us a most beautiful colorful nature. But sure, it is also bringing us
these harsh winds, the days grow shorter, and the sun is not as warm as it used
to be. Personally I think that every season has its own charm, and I am
perfectly able to enjoy any kind of weather. I like it incredibly warm,
freezing cold, snowy, storming rain, there is always something exciting about
it. Why so? Am I crazy? Perhaps. I like to think it is because I am a natural
positive optimist, and I love to discover new things in all circumstances. But,
this attitude is an attitude that I have worked on, that I have developed over
the years through a lifestyle of gratitude.
One of my mottos is: ‘gratitude is one of the
most intelligent ways of communicating’! It is because, if I show my gratitude
concerning positive things that happen throughout of life, I am expressing
positive truth! This is not only intelligent, it is also highly motivating me
to perceive other people and things with more marvel, and it is keeping me
learning.
By now you might be wondering what all this
has to do with developing resilience? Well, an optimistic attitude is one of
the 7 main factors that you need to develop in order to grow resilience…
As xpand-team we have put together 5 different
researches concerning resilience, and they all bring about 5-7 factors of
resilience:
1. A
reconciled past, and emotional stability
2. Optimism
and basic trust
3. Solution-minded
4. Working
with your skills and creativity
5. Discipline
and a healthy lifestyle
6. Self-conscious
and passionate
7. Healthy
relations
You can order the new resilience scan via our
website www.xpand.eu/nl.
After 70 questions it will indicate your strengths and weaknesses in regard to
resilience.
Curious? During the next couple of months I
will take this blog on a journey along the 7 factors of resilience. I will
write about: why it has such a profound impact on our lives, and how to
train and develop it!
