Life is “… a lot like walking into the
ocean, and a big wave comes and knocks you over. And you find yourself lying on
the bottom with sand in your nose and in your mouth. And you are lying there,
and you have a choice. You can either lie there, or you can stand up and start
to keep walking out to sea”.
So the waves keep coming … and you
keep cultivating your courage and bravery and sense of humour to relate to this
situation of the waves, and you keep getting up and going forward”. (Chödrön, P. 2016)
The Covid-19 pandemic has
highlighted this existential suffering, in the form of people:
- losing their
livelihoods, and income and financial security
- losing family members, friends and colleagues, due to redundancies, death and lock-down separations
- experiencing reduced mental well-being due to uncertainty, anxiety, distress, longing, resentment, loneliness, depression.
We offer a unique
and proven hardiness assessment and self-determination tools as practical aids
to building and maintaining resilience in the face of adversity and change.
(It was developed
by Drs Allen Zimbler and Caryn Solomon, who drew on early work by Dr
Suzanne Kobasa).
