Humans are storytellers

This is how we give meaning to our lives. Also, fundamentally it is how we shape the world around us. And our impact on the shape of the world around us is far from good.

We see the lack of resilience as a fundamental and underlying problem. Resilience is missing in many of the stories we so strongly have come to believe to be true.

Elements of Resilience is our attempt at sharing one of the many alternative stories we believe are so desperately needed.

Elements Of Resilience

At the ♥︎ of ELEMENTS OF RESILIENCE is a framework of 5 interconnected elements.

It’s aim is to provide tools, inspiration and practical guidance to anyone working towards more resilience in their lives.

Exploring Resilience

The aim of our Youtube channel is to share this framework in an accessible and personal way.

It’s aim is sharing, learning about and co-creating a resilient narrative.

The Resilience Blog

In addition to the framework and podcast, we host a blog. The purpose of THE BLOG is to focus on sharing in-depth information.

It’s also an opportunity to share images and a sneek-peek into our daily life .

What is resilience?

”To us, resilience means that we continually try to rethink and reshape our lives where possible or necessary. It also means that we realise that everything is interconnected. We can’t see ourselves as separate from the rest of the living world.

Adapting to circumstances - Towards more Resilience!

Individual

For individuals, it is closely linked to the way ‘health’ can more completely be defined: “The ability (of humans) to adapt and to self-manage in the face of physical, emotional and social challenges of life.”

Community

On a community level “resilience is related to processes and skills that result in good community health outcomes, in spite of negative events, serious threats and hazards.”

Systems

On a systems level it can be defined as: “the capacity of an ecosystem to tolerate disturbance without collapsing to a qualitative different state. It describes the degree to which the system is capable of self-organization, learning and adaptation”.

RHYTHM

Dynamics and adaptations are essential for resilience; keeping your internal balance, despite changing conditions around you.
