Cultivating Resilience: A Personal toolbox

Notes from May 15, 2018 workshop

Resilience is "bouncing back" from difficult experiences.

Major stressors
Resistance is human, we all feel that way at times.
-physical exercise increases resilience
-chronic stress -- brain is always sounding an alarm
-a positive self concept and confidence in  one's strengths and abilities

Caring for others creates resilience

Have a confidant in your work team
A small distraction may be helpful
Most important thing that makes a team effective: psychological safety

Suppressing feelings isn't healthy
Make decisions that are value-based
Practice self-compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness.

Manage energy NOT time
- Interval training, recovery is key!
Decrease screen time -- Be present
Determine your peak hours
Create habits and fuel your energy
