Resiliency: One Solution Toward Transformation of the Suffering Person

Abstract

Resilience can be hard to define. Spontaneity opens up the mind to creativity. Studies show that even the single secure relationship may be enough for the development of reflective processes in the child. Mindfulness has been found to boost resilience. A therapeutic approach has been developed to help people reorganize their thought process as a way of altering their moods. Moods are often situational based. Transitions in life endeavors are more possible partly due to strong abilities to connect with people and meeting their needs. The resilient spirit does not lie down when obstacles require movement in an alternate direction. The resilient person thrives with new challenges. The thriving person passes on learned skills to either his own offspring or to others in the form of mentoring so they can be emulated by others. Determination can supplant any notion of withdrawal from the zest of life. Having the quality of resiliency can enable a person to remain connected; therefore, remaining relevant and avoiding the mental abyss that can cripple the spirit. A person who experiences a feeling of disconnection can be guided to examine the lives of others who found ways to cope and deal with life’s unexpected calamities towards the goal of finding new ways to rediscover a sense of purposed connection. The key to self-improvement may be to look for the highest reachable potentials and not the level of success or attainment in the world, which are, in practical terms, unattainable. Journaling helps a person express the present moment and provides a unique opportunity to ass creativity to the process of living.
