There are phases in life that challenge us. Momente, in denen alles zu viel scheint – berufliche Umbrüche, private Konflikte, emotionale Tiefpunkte. In such times it shows how resilient we are. In other words, how strong our resilience is.
Aber was ist Resilienz genau? And how can you strengthen this inner resistance, both as a individual and in the professional environment? In diesem Blogpost erfährst du es – verständlich, praxisnah und auf Augenhöhe.
Was bedeutet Resilienz?
Der Begriff Resilienz stammt vom lateinischen resilire - jump back. In psychology, he describes the ability of an individual to deal with crises, blows of fate or stressful living conditions without breaking it. Resiliente Menschen fallen hin – aber sie stehen auch wieder auf.
Wichtig: Resilienz bedeutet nicht, dass du nie zweifelst, nie traurig bist oder immer stark sein musst. Es geht darum, dein inneres Gleichgewicht auch in schweren Situationen wiederzufinden – mit Zeit, Tools und Vertrauen in deine Ressourcen.
Why resilience is more important today than ever
Unsere Welt dreht sich schnell. In family, work, society. Many people today experience more changes, uncertainties and stress than ever before. This affects not only adults, but also children - such as separating, poverty or pressure to "function" at school.
That is precisely why it is so important not to see resilience as a "bonus competence", but as a basic building block for health, self -esteem and successful adaptation to new life situations.
The 7 pillars of resilience
Resilience is not a condition, but a process - something that you can develop step by step. The well -known 7 pillars of resilience help, which are considered important protective factors in psychology:
-
acceptance: Lerne, das zu akzeptieren, was du nicht ändern kannst.
-
optimism: Trust that light comes back after dark days.
-
Self -efficacy: Recognize your ability to actively influence things.
-
take responsibility: You are not to blame for everything, but you can design.
-
Maintain networks: Good caregivers give support and orientation.
-
Solution orientation: Think in paths instead of in walls.
-
Future planning: What is your next little step? What makes sense to you?
These pillars apply to adults as well as to children, family, in relationships and in everyday work.
Resilience in a professional context: Awarment in the job
Gerade im Job ist Resilienz ein echter Erfolgsfaktor. Resilient people remain capable of action even in stressful phases. They cannot be discouraged by mistakes, but learn from it. They remain clear, even if it becomes turbulent.
For companies this means:
-
Lower sick leave
-
Better handling of crises
-
Healthier communication in teams
-
More emotional stability in managers
As a coach, I work with managers who want to learn to deal better with pressure, high expectations and life -changing events. Strengthening resilience here means: do not become harder, but more conscious, more present, more human.
Exercises to strengthen your resilience
Here are a few simple exercises and tips on how to train your resistance in a very practical way - in just a few minutes a day:
1. Mindful pause (2 minutes daily)
Sit down, close your eyes, feel your breath. Tell yourself internally: "I'm here. Now. At the moment." This simple ritual helps to get out of brooding loops.
2. Check thoughts
If you feel inferior or stuck, ask yourself: "Is that a fact - or an old story?" Many problems do not arise in reality, but in the head.
3. grateful diary
Write down 3 things every evening that were good today - as small they seem. That trains yours Brain, To perceive positive things more consciously again.
4. Write down power sources
What gives you energy? Walking? Music? Talks? Hold your personal resources in writing - this is how you find them easier if you need them.
Resilience & children: How parents can be role models
Children learn through imitation. When you see that parents openly talk about feelings, failure or strokes of fate, you will learn: It's okay not to be perfect.
Especially in difficult living conditions - with moves, separations, financial risks - children need stable caregivers who show them: You are not alone. We can do that together.
Align it professionally? Resilience helps
Maybe you are at a point where you want to change something professionally. Or you are forced to reorient yourself - through termination, exhaustion or other external circumstances.
Resilience helps you not to go under in such life crises. You can be sad, unsettled or angry. But you don't stop. You move. And you learn - about yourself, about life, about your strength.
Conclusion: resilience can be trained - and valuable for life
Resilience is more than a buzzword. It is an attitude. An invitation to live more consciously. To deal with yourself more friendly. To go more courageously by phases of uncertainty.
You don't need a perfect past, no special circumstances. What you need is the desire to develop you further. And the trust that you carry more in yourself than you think.
