5 Ways to Make Yourself More Resilient
As camp professionals, we recognize the importance of developing grit and resilience in forming strong character. Indeed, at our Midwest summer camp near Chicago, we work towards that goal both for our campers and for ourselves as staff. Here are some good tips from the folks at Barking Up the Wrong Tree. Summary below, with the full article available at this link.
- Your conscious mind isn’t always accurate: And this leads to problems.
- You will feel better: Because you don’t know yourself all that well, you’re terrible at predicting how you’ll feel in the future. Your storyteller exaggerates. Remember this.
- You have a “psychological immune system”: You may feel lousy now but, with time, your mind will rewrite your story with a happier ending.
- Help that storyteller out: You can accelerate emotional recovery by writing about your problems.
- Actions speak louder than words: If you want to get to know yourself better so you can make smart decisions and avoid future problems, pay attention to your behavior, not your thoughts. But the truth can hurt.
- Do good, be good: Your story will follow your actions.
