Resilience helps us deal with the challenges of the world
Post Traumatic Growth
As a result of experiencing traumatic events, some individuals will experience POSTTRAUMATIC GROWTH (PTG). PTG is the ability to experience positive personal changes that result from the struggle to deal with trauma and its consequences. PTG highlights that strengths can emerge through suffering and struggles with adversities. Individuals may develop a renewed appreciation of life and a commitment to live life to the fullest, valuing each day; improved relationships with loved ones; a search for new possibilities and enhanced personal strengths and new spiritual changes.
“Abraham Maslow noted that confrontations with tragedy were often precursors to self-actualization.” -https://www.psychologytoday.com/files/attachments/75676/positive-changes-following-adversity.pdf
Grit scale: http://www.sjdm.org/dmidi/files/Grit-8-item.pdf
Hope-deliberate hope, intentional
1. Interest: Passion begins with intrinsically enjoying what you do.
2. Practice: One form of perseverance is the daily discipline to do things better than we did yesterday.
3. Purpose: What ripens passion is the conviction that your work matters.
4. Hope: Hope is a “rising to the occasion” kind of perseverance.
