How do you react to unexpected difficulties? In today’s workplace everyone feels pressured to get more done, of higher quality, with fewer people, in less time, and with less of a budget. It is more challenging when life throws you a curve especially in difficult times when it is important to be resilient as much as possible.
Healthy, resilient people have stress-resistant personalities. Resilience is the process of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences. Resilient people bounce back from setbacks quicker than others, and can thrive under extreme, on-going pressure without acting in dysfunctional or harmful ways.
Resilience comprises 2 different elements: (1) The ability to keep it together when you are subject to great demands and pressures; and (2) The ability to overcome difficulties, to learn from mistakes and to develop creatively, by turning difficult circumstances into opportunities.
Resiliency is what sets some people apart from others. The traits of resilient people are plenty for people to understand. Here are several characteristics. See if they fit for you!
· Resilient people are connected to what is most important to them in their lives (meaning, direction and purpose in what they do).
· Put things in perspective.
· They understand that emotions are great sources of energy and motivation but are often poor guides for action. They know how to motivate themselves to take action.
· They are focused with having a clear vision of what they want to achieve.
· Resilient people are positive. They are optimistic in their thinking as negative thinking is just a “bad habit”. (Challenge yourself to reframe situations in more positive terms).
· They are flexible especially when responding to change.
· Resilient people are organized as they develop structured approaches to managing change.
· Always exploring their options. If one door closes, they look for another door or window of opportunity. They even create them when needed.
· Resilient people have excellent problem-solving skills. The can brainstorm and negotiate with the best. They think critically.
· Maintain a higher level of quality and productivity in their work.
· Resilient people have the ability to re-frame their experiences to see the positive side of things. They always look for the silver lining. They ask questions like, “What can I learn from this experience?”
· Achieve more of their objectives.
· They look for adversity as a challenge rather than as a threat. They realize that no matter how the present situation turns out, they will learn and grow from it.
· Resilient people respect themselves and others. They have a spirit of cooperation and look for win-win solutions rather than try to win over people or ignore their own wants and needs.
· They know how to let go of things they have no control over. They know the only thing in their control is “Me, Myself, and I”.
· Resilient people use positive self-talk. They spend time thinking what they want versus what they do not have. They understand and use the power of positive affirmations.
· Resilient people let go of the past and learn from past experiences and plan for the future.
· They know how and when to ask for help. They do not try to do everything themselves. They do not expect others to do everything for them. They understand the benefits of tapping into the strengths of others.
· Resilient people enjoy living in the NOW. They do not put important things off for another day.
· Actively seek solutions. Active coping rather than being passive and waiting for things to happen.
