Ever wondered what it truly means to build resilience when life feels overwhelming? In this episode of Encouragementology, professional life and recovery coach Kendell Boysen shares her unique perspective on resilience, not as a flashy display of strength, but as a quiet, persistent practice. She compares it to driving at night, where you can only see as far as your headlights reach.
Kendell emphasises that resilience is not about pushing through with sheer motivation, but about maintaining discipline and honesty with oneself. The episode challenges the common notion that resilience is synonymous with toughness. Instead, Kendell presents it as the ability to stay engaged with life, even when circumstances are less than ideal. She suggests that resilience involves taking honest stock of one's capacity and responding accordingly, whether that means pushing forward or taking a necessary pause.
Listeners are encouraged to shift their focus from emotional motivation to disciplined consistency, embracing small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming leaps. Kendell also highlights the importance of pausing without guilt, recognising that rest is a crucial part of the journey. Her insights offer a refreshing take on resilience, making it feel less like an uphill battle and more like a supportive partnership with oneself. So, how do you approach resilience in your own life?
Are you ready to redefine what it means to be resilient and find your own path through life's challenges?
