How Resilience Are You
The question is; What does Resilience Means?
It is having the capacity to recover Quickly from difficult circumstances and situations. You are able to spring back into shape, not allowing misfortune and challenging conditions stop you.
In my research, I found out that more than 15 million people in America suffer with depression. It is a leading cause of disability. Major depression is something more. It’s a period of overwhelming sadness. And in the United States alone, over 40 million people suffer from Anxiety. Anxiety and depression are kissing cousin.
We all have those feelings from time to time, but they usually go away within a few days. No one is immune to depression or anxiety. Most of these people are in a competitive and in a
High-pressure environment.
These people are often invisible, hidden, and unacknowledged. It is hard to recognized, but those have suffered from it can immediately recognize it.
In life, we face insurmountable challenges of depression, anxiety, worry, fear, grief, prejudice, loneliness and many other symptoms. And being in this position in life, I believe through the Word of God in the name of Christ Jesus, we could over come them.
God has placed within each individual ‘Great Potential’ and not having ‘Resilience’, these challenges are great hindrances for any individual to reach their full potential in life.
There is a Scripture that says; “Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He WILL make your PATHS straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear (with reverence and godly fear), the LORD and turn away from evil (fully trusting God). It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones” (Proverbs 3:5-8)( NASB).
The question is; When these things come upon us, do we really put ALL our trust in God or do we try to solve them through fleshly means?
God desires that all who trust in Him walk in healing and health all the days of their lives; however, it is up the individual to take Him at His Word and appropriate what rightfully belongs to him through the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross of Calvary.
I am not writing to tell you that being ‘Resilience’ is easy, nothing is really easy in life. When a seed is planted in the ground, it has to brake through the thickness of the soil, and if the soil is not properly prepared, it may not bear its fruit correctly. Yes, some may come up, but it may not be what you expect it to be.
A Resilience person never gives up. He or she quickly learn the trust God, leaning not on their own intelligence in life, believing what God has said is true, quickly come back in line with Him. He is ALWAYS waiting to hear from you and I.
There is another Scripture that says; “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of Power and of Love and of a Sound Mind”. “Let this Mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus who being in the form of God, thought it’s not robbery to be equal with God; but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Himself the very nature of a servant, having made in human likeness and being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became Obedient to death, even death on the cross." If we allow the same attitude that Christ had, these challenges in life would quickly be solve and overcome.
The question is; Why is it so important to be resilient?
Be Resilience in able you to adapt well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress and any difficult challenge that you will face in your life time here on the earth. If you have not face them, you will, they will come and being resilient with the Word of God, can help you over come them.
9 Ways to build resilience at work
1. Cherish social support and interaction...
2.Treat problems as a learning process...
3. Avoid making a drama out of a crisis...
4. Celebrate your successes...
5. Develop realistic life goals for guidance and a sense of purpose...
6. Take positive action...
7. Nurture a positive view of yourself...
8. Keep a realistic perspective. Place challenging or painful events in the broader context of lifelong personal development.
9. Practice optimism. Negative and positive is always present. If we allow our thinking to dictate how we view something it will take over. Make your thinking work for your benefit, rather than letting it stymie you with doubt or by seeing only the bad side.
These are not the only ways to strengthen resilience at work. For example, some people find keeping a journal useful, those with a religious conviction find prayer helpful, and practicing mindfulness or meditation helps to connect with themselves and restore a sense of purpose. The key is to identify ways that are likely to work well for you as part of your own personal strategy for fostering resilience at work.
Changing your thinking gives you a different perspective and a whole new set of tools for dealing with difficult challenges in life. And the best chance I personally believe is through Christ Jesus.
