“The Resilience Factor” Patricia Sims

by Karen Reivich, Ph.D. & Andrew Shatte, Ph.D. 02/17/08

I’ve been called a “survivor” which in my mind implies victim. I much prefer the term “resilient” which is defined in the introduction as “the ability to persevere and adapt when things go wrong”. Surviving is living but resiliency is living a certain way. On page 26 the authors say that “resilience is a mind-set that enables you to seek out new experiences and to view your life as a work in progress.” While surviving may get you through to the next day, resilience allows you to “overcome, steer through, bounce back, and reach out”.

Blessings 2/16/08

I started being mindful of my blessings quite awhile ago. Because I spend more time on dark things, my blessings tend to be pretty close to the bone; things like - thanks for that breath, thanks for the roof over my head, thanks that today wasn’t the day I had to move into my van.
