Iāve been noticing how much there is in my inbox about resilience, at the moment. (Youāll find my team resilience articles on LinkedIn if youāve not seen them already).
Iām also noticing something else. How much we love to ābe strongā or be recognised for our ācoping skillsā (Iām guilty as charged).
Weāve often been taught to put on a brave face or a āstiff upper lipā (so British!).
āIām resilientā we tell ourselves (as if resilience is a fixed state rather than something that fluctuates).
So, when someone says, āare you okay?ā we say āfineā!
But I donāt think thatās a great question right now (or ever) if we want to know the truth.
When I ask, āwhatās going on for youā? and then shut up, I can have a deeper conversation.
So, let me ask youā¦. āwhatās going on for you right now?ā because I generally care about you and Iād love to know the answer.
Take good care of yourself (whatever that means for you).
All my best.
