Donna Volpitta, EdD, founder of the Center for Resilient Leadership:
Today, resilience has a much broader meaning. For researchers and professionals working with kids, it’s not just about “bouncing back.” It’s about “bouncing forward.”
Resilience doesn’t just mean getting back to normal after facing a difficult situation. It means learning from the process in order to become stronger and better at tackling the next challenge.
Angela Watson 5 calming reminders about what matters most during pandemic panic & school closures
1. It is okay to sit in the anxiety sometimes and allow yourself (and others) to be off-kilter.
2. We need to rest in order to stay healthy — expecting ourselves to maintain normal productivity levels is not realistic. 3. This is an opportunity to rethink your obligations and how your time is spent, and decide what you want life to look like in the “new normal.” 4. Rugged individualism will not get us through a global pandemic — this is a time for us to unite in our local, online, and global communities. 5. Fear is contagious, and it spreads even faster than a virus. Our own mental health is paramount right now. There are big challenges ahead and they will feel overwhelming at times. But you can do this. It’s not going to be easy, it’s going to be worth it.
