Understand Resilience, it's Benefits and How to Achieve it

“Our emotional diet has a lot to do with how resilient we are. Positive emotions and attitudes are important for performing at our best and maintaining systems balance,” IHM Director of Research Rollin McCraty explains in Perspectives on Resilience. McCraty will enlighten you about the dynamics of resilience: energy expenditure and recovery, how positive and negative emotions can influence our participation in life’s events and even whether we are healthy or prone to illness.

Building and maintaining resilient energy, optimal performance and health require intelligent management of our energy expenditures, McCraty explains. For example, it is the duration of energy expenditure without recovery, rather than the intensity of energy expenditure that cause burnout, impaired performance and physical breakdown. Negative emotions such as fear, frustration, impatience, anger and sadness can cause the release of stress hormones, often resulting in reduced muscle mass, impaired memory and mental function, accelerated aging, diminished performance and depleted reserves. Positive emotions such as compassion, care and courage can aid in the recovery of resilience and energy reserves.
