Resilience
It’s as if each of us has a kind of ‘tank of resilience’ inside ourselves – and as we encounter challenges this resilience is used up – so that when we are ‘on empty; we can no longer cope with setbacks… and that’s when we start to experience mental health issues.
Resilience is defined by the American Psychological Association:
“Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress — such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems or workplace and financial stresses. It means ‘bouncing back’ from difficult experiences.”
Research has shown that resilience is ordinary, not extraordinary. People commonly demonstrate resilience.
Being resilient does not mean that a person doesn’t experience difficulty or distress. Emotional pain and sadness are common in people who have suffered major adversity or trauma in their lives. However, resilience involves behaviours, thoughts and actions that can be learned and developed in anyone.
Mindfulness Builds Resilience
“The evidence is mounting to show that that mindfulness training can help people to cope with accumulative stress. It appears popular, feasible, acceptable… and without stigma.” – Professor Peter Jones (Neuroscience, Cambridge University)
Mindfulness is a skill to improve resilience, which allows people to deal with stresses, emotions and triggers which can cause and perpetuate episodes of anxiety and depression…
Mindfulness employs meditation and practice to enable us to be aware of our thoughts in an objective, non-judgemental way – so we are able to manage our feelings and emotions. This empowers us through a real sense of control, so that we build confidence and self-esteem.
In this way we become more resilient.
Traditionally, many people come to mindfulness to be able to focus on what is important, to reduce ‘noise’ when bombarded with messages or thoughts, to deal with stress or to find a calmness, focus or objectivity, and in recent years mindfulness has been used to train attention for the purpose of mental well-being to improve symptoms of common mental health issue such as anxiety and depression.
Evidence has shown that mindfulness really can make a significant difference to those with anxiety or depression (or both) … or those having problems related to stress… yet it can also improve the resilience within all of us, enabling each of us to be better at dealing with stress, setbacks and challenges.
