Episode #38: Our Basic Needs for Resilience
Manage episode 407258159 series 3562095
Summary: In this episode Jaime and Scott begin by welcoming everyone back and surviving the 2020, along with congratulating everyone for bouncing back from the challenges of what happened in 2020. They bring up the point that it is natural to blame a YEAR (2020) for challenges, and thus putting pressure on another YEAR (2021) to make things better. The truth is, we can take ownership for how we react to these challenges and how we can adjust to a new year. Jaime then defined what “resilience” means from a variety of resources. Scott talked about some of the basic mental needs of each individual that can impact resilience, from Dr. Rick Hanson (the sense of - safety, satisfaction, and connection). Finally, Jaime explains some characteristics of resilient individuals and ways to strengthen resilience.
ACTion Event of the Week: One way that I can strengthen resilience this year? Perhaps one way you can: Be on your own team, and appropriate a situation with appreciation and kindness?
Where do we walk to next?: Stay tuned, for on the next episode of Act To Live, we will get some good feels with the Science of Hugs. We all need a good hug right now, don’t we?
