What does Resilience mean?

Resilience in the face of the grieving process. Healing For Grieving Hearts
Tweet: What makes it easier for some to overcome overwhelming grief than others? #grievingprocess #healing http://ctt.ec/Xkc33+


I have been reading a lot about resilience lately. Psychological resilience is defined as an individual's ability to adapt to stress and adversity. 

What makes it easier for some to overcome overwhelming grief than others?

The following quote sums it up quite well.

Edgar N. Jackson wrote:
If one has always met life’s problems with strength and assurance, it is reasonable to assume that he [she] will meet this experience the same way. One who has been easily distressed by circumstances may be so disturbed by the encounter with death that he [she] will need guidance and special help. 

What Jackson is referring to is the resilience we have formed over a lifetime. 

Even if we have been strong and resilient in the past we might forget it for a while because we are overwhelmed with the feelings of loss. 

That is where a helping hand of a friend or someone like me come in. We will remind you of your resilience, your strengths and your abilities. We will help you overcome the sadness that overshadows them. 

The Healing for Grieving Hearts program will help you uncover your resilience through Biography work and creative means. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. 

Take good care,
Jacqueline

PS: Did you have time to devote some extra time to self-care over the last two weeks?
What did you do for yourself that made you smile?

Can you make self-care a priority this month?

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe  www.HealingForGrievingHearts.com


With the beginning of July everything slows down a bit in my life. During that time I am always in danger to take on new challenges instead of embracing the calm and quiet that the summer months bring. 

I have more time to be creative in my studio, take long walks in the morning before it gets too hot, and have finally time to attend to a very overgrown garden. (smile)

This year I want to focus on a mindful break and self-care. 
Taking care of my needs for meditation, alone time, and creativity will be the priority.

What does self-care look like to you?

Is it walking, dancing, singing, meditating or preparing a good meal with fresh ingredients? 
Or is it being alone in silence, taking a long shower, or being with friends at a busy beach?

I dare you to make a self-care plan for the next two weeks. 
Listen to your inner voice and take at least 30 minutes per day to do something that fills you with content and yes happiness. 

I would like to hear what self-care means to you.

Please let me know and I promise to answer each email personally. (smile)

Blessings,
Jacqueline
