A Deeper Understanding of Resilience

Posted by Stephanie Rogers on October 17, 2018 in News

Resilience is not something that we鈥檙e born with 鈥 it develops over time as we acquire knowledge, perspective and self-management skills.

Vendura Wellness has created an exciting resilience program for workplaces. They address thinking traps, catastrophic thinking and practical skills that can be applied in everyday life to strengthen an individual's ability to overcome adversity and challenges, adapt well to change, manage stress, and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

Participants will learn important resilience skills such as:

-聽 Developing a purpose and vision
-聽 Reducing anxiety through techniques for controlling intrusive thoughts and images
-聽 The importance of, and how to have, strong relationships with friends and family
-聽 How to amplify positive emotions and how to recognize when negative ones are out of proportion
-聽 How to maximize your physical health through sleep, meditation and other life skills
-聽 Heightening awareness of 鈥淩ed Flags鈥 (knowing the triggers and markers of low resiliency)
-聽 Having a series of go-to 鈥淔ire escapes鈥 (strategies to address low resiliency)

The program includes a one-of-a-kind聽G.R.I.T.聽assessment tool that gives participants a deep look inward at their current level of resilience. Participants will receive reflections on the unique scales that combine to produce each resiliency score.
