When there is a problem, a normal person like you and me often jump to the solution. Many times, it turns to be a jump to conclusion…
Another way
is to reflect upon the problem, visualize or feel the possible solutions and
then, to make a decision. In this case, we are using a small part of our own
resilience.
In terms of
problem solving, our resilience has a different role and it is useful to
understand it.
What is
resilience? It is basically our inherent capacity to bounce back after a
crisis or a serious problem. Even though it is inherent, it can be
increased or diminished…
What is it in
terms of problem solving? Well, for small problems there is a chance to use
your own resilience:
1. The
problem comes, causing a small storm in the mind, too many thoughts, and it
turns decisions into a difficult task.
2. We face
the problem, we are able to diminish the storm in the mind, we make certain
decisions.
3. We are
back to where we were before the problem, according to our resilience.
However,
resilience is a human quality or faculty, it is part of the self, so we could
say resilience exists since before the problem, that is, it may help at every
stage of the problem:
1. The
problem comes, causing a small storm in the mind, too many thoughts, and it
turns decisions into a difficult task. I meditate, I calm my mind, I talk with
someone because I know I am strong and I don’t stop growing because of that
problem. I am a resilient person.
2. We
face the problem, we are able to diminish the storm in the mind, we make
certain decisions. My decisions come from my own reflection, from my own power. They start
in my mind in the form of a discernment process, and then I implement them.
3. We
are back to where we were before the problem, according to our resilience. I see the storm of problems and
bad situations departing from my life and I prepare myself to keep on moving
on… I never stopped, but it is possible my personal change was affected by it;
now, I move on with full force.
If we do
this exercise, not only we will be able to overcome a problem without much
effort, we will be also increasing our resilience.
