Notes from Dietta
If I haven’t learned anything else from my children, I have learned the
power of persistence. If I don’t say no right out or sometimes even if
I do say no they are going to keep asking me over and over and over
again. Even though their repeated requests can be a little frustrating
I do realize the blessing in their willingness to never give up.
As we all probably know in our efforts to strike the perfect balance in
our lives there are times when we get knocked down, times when things
just don’t work out the way want them to. Or, times when even though
we’ve done all the right things and by our calculations balance should
be the result, it just don’t happen (pardon my grammar).
We just need to remember that balance is a journey not a destination.
When we fall off the cart we just need to get back up again and pick up
where we left off. This week’s feature article is about doing just
that. The topic of resilience is one of my favorite, I hope you will be
inspired by reading about Reclaiming Our Resilient Spirit.

Reclaiming Our Resilient Spirit
By: Eileen McDargh, CSP, CPAE
Our spirits are taking a beating. The daily barrage of bad news,
violence, shrinking resources, global warming, and economic slowdown can
put us in a state of frustration and paralysis. Some days, getting out
of bed can be a challenge.
Within the word "resilience" are actions we can take to reclaim our
bounce-back ability.
R: Remember to breathe. The ability to calm down is critical in order to
take stock and move forward.
E: Enlist support of others. Love people and be lovable in return. A
supportive family (whether genetic or hand-picked) is what keeps people
alive. The English word wretched comes from the Middle English word
wrecche which means "without kin nearby.
S: Stay focused. Intentionality lays the groundwork for what we want in
our life. See it, say it and claim it. Don't let external forces cloud
your vision.
I: Identify your strengths. Energy and good health are two of the most
essential ingredients in resiliency. Work on your physical well being
first because it is the quickest way to gain control over a world that
is uncontrollable.
L: Laugh out loud. You'll be amazed at the looks you get. And you'll
feel better.
I: Insist on optimism. Positive mental health comes from the ability to
reframe a situation. This is not the Pollyanna or head-in-sand avoidance
of reality but rather a recall of ways in which you have handled similar
situations.
E: Extend yourself to others. Self-absorption backfires. It only serves
to deepen depression and worry. Going out to serve others lifts the
cloud around yourself and allows you to become both blessed and a
blessing.
N: Never say "never". The resilient spirit knows that there is always
tomorrow.
T: Thanks-give it! There is much to be grateful for.
