5 Simple Ways to Stay Resilient Everyday

Regardless of the generation that you belong to, the research data shows that our psychological and cultural challenges are growing at an incremental rate���so much so that the word ���resilience��� is popping up more and more. But there���s hope too. Here are a few points that I���ve observed personally and with my fellow Vietnam POW brothers about resilience ���

 

Faith was crucial. When you lose control over your life and the enemy can torture you and even kill you, you must learn to look up and pray. Our spiritual faith gave us a hopeful reality that there was a bigger plan. We were committed to our mission. Our goal to resist, stay connected, and serve with honor was at the top of our list. Commitment is essential. Beyond your team or employer���s mission, make a conscious decision about your personal mission too. Our leaders set an amazing example of resilience. They were tortured and in isolation more than most of us and they always bounced back and stayed positive. They set the example, and we were inspired by their resilience and positive belief in our future. We stayed connected with others. To overcome isolation, we took great risks to communicate and stay connected to our teammates. Leaders should over-communicate to stay connected. We stayed positive. We believed that someday we would go home and that kept us from shutting down and giving up. Intentional positivity provides the fuel and energy needed to push through challenges.
