The Rising Resilience Method

4-Part Approach Designed to Holistically Increase Resiliency

Resilience is the ability to move forward and rise up despite adversity. Initially, it was thought that this ability was innate and set, but over time researchers have found that resiliency can be gained and increased. The Resiliency Method is focused on building 4 core areas to do just that—gain & increase your inner ability to live resiliently.

Resiliency in the Body

Stress, trauma, unresolved emotional pain often stays stuck in the body long after the situation itself has resolved. This can leave us feeling heavy, having chronic pain and can cause us to have difficult relationships with our bodies.

Part of The Resiliency Method is designed to educate, motivate & equip you with what you need to get your body moving and to help you feel grounded and at peace in your own skin again.

2. Resiliency in the Mind

The words, ideas, beliefs, and stances we take most often are directly impacted by the person we hear from the most—ourselves. Our internal self-talk has a significant impact on how we perceive the world, thus, impacting how we show up in it, for better or for worse. You can overcome traumatic situations and remove yourself from toxic circumstances, but if your internal self-talk continues to be hurtful, negative, catastrophic, and mean, your level of successfully showing up as your best self is going to be stunted.

Part of rising up in resilience is learning to shed the old patterns of harmful self-talk and adopt new self-talk that is encouraging, empowering, and based on your strengths, insights, and growth.

The Rising Resilience Method teaches how to shift into powerful, realistic, and positive self-talk that centers on increasing your own understanding of your self-worth, value, and abilities.

3. Resiliency in the Soul

A core component to having the ability to rise up again, is to have a sense of purpose driving us forward. That purpose may be centered on a vision for the future or could be rooted in spiritual grounding of believing there is something or someone greater than ourselves that will work all things together for good.

As human beings we have souls that have longings, desires, abilities that need to be expressed, held, freed and celebrated. When we gain understanding of our value and purpose, our capacity to endure, overcome and grow all strengthens. We also have parts of our souls that long for restoration and comfort after feeling weary from the heavy parts of life. Nurturing our souls with soul-good practices can help bring much needed life and love back into ourselves and can help heal burn out.

The Rising Resilience Method aims to guide individuals into searching and finding their soul-good practices along with finding their spiritual roots and/innate sense of groundedness. It also challenges individuals to develop and live into their purpose.

4. Resiliency in Connection to Others

Why is connection so important? There are internal and external factors that coexist to support and strengthen our resiliency. As a child we start out learning about ourselves as we gain insights from the messages and care we receive externally. When we receive love, protection, positive praise and physical touch in healthy ways, we receive messaging that helps us understand that we are loved, the world is safe and connection with other humans is rich and valuable place to be. When we receive neglect and harm, the messaging received is the opposite. It causes us to want to disconnect and hide. It teaches us that we are unwanted, unlovable, alone. Studies have shown that when young children have healthy early-life experiences, they grow up with increased resiliency levels and their overall mental and physical health is better. Thank goodness—studies have also indicated that for everyone who didn’t have ideal resiliency levels built in from childhood, we can still increase and enhance our levels today in our adult selves. Some of the most healing and empowering work is done when we experience healthy, connected relationships and friendships. The old messaging of hurt is replaced with new, healthy messaging.

The Resiliency Method teaches how to engage in mindset shifting from negative core beliefs that often drive us into isolation or high-conflict relationships (ie. belief that the world is bad, that no one can be trusted, that you have no value to others and are burdens) towards new, healthy core beliefs associated with positive connection and the willingness to accept love and to live fully into an interconnected community where we add value to others in the world around us.
