  Confidence: Do You Know Your Strengths?

  How often have you met someone who is going to do something when they feel ‘confident' to do it? The world is full of non-authors, or non-artists and millions of other potentially creative souls who are telling themselves some version of “Some...

    Rose Jones May 14, 2020 Great article! But I wonder, how can one have a vision when the world is so often changing and often destroys it? Or changes it for you? What's the point?

External events and decisions affect our every day life. Resilience is knowing that, and seeing a bright future anyway. Resilience is taking control of what we can ie: visualising the future we want. Resilience is taking responsibility for our own reactions. What's the point? Growth, development and deeper meaning in life. Anne x

  In this time where it is so easy to feel powerless, it is important to remain as calm and centred as possible. Our resilience and focussing on the changes that we can make, that is, what we can control right now�our thoughts and emotions�will help in taking us forward in the best way possible.
  
  A huge thankyou to psychologist Barry Winbolt, for developing the 5-Resilience Challenge. We have had loads of positive feedback from people, who have been finding the information helpful.
  
  To wrap up the challenge, Barry has developed a Resilience Infographic (see below) and suggests that you print it out and put on your fridge or shower as a reminder, until the steps with practise, become habits over time.

While we cannot control events such as fire, flood and viruses�we can control our reaction to them. When we are fearful it can breed more fear. When we stay calm and centred despite external events, we are more likely to make our best decisions.
