The Lessons of Hurricane Frances
Part 2
by Susan DunnPage: 1 2
When you meet with another force, such as the source of your anger (an errant partner or miscreant teenager for instance) the energy can't be absorbed, but like the eye of the hurricane, intensifies and escalates, causing more damage.
Lower that proud head of yours," my mom used to say, when she saw me getting that way. "The tree that won't bend, breaks.
She knew that, like the football player with locked knee and planted foot, I was vulnerable to a tackle from the side that would deliver a career-ending injury.
Better to make like the palm frond and bend and sway. Let the force pass over you without resistance, knowing that it won't last forever and that you can count on two things -change, and your ability to endure.
Trying to figure out a loss or tragedy can have the same stiffening effect. Sometimes we feel that if we get mad enough long enough, and think about it hard enough, something good will come of it. Our lover will miraculously reappear, offering a reversal of events, an apology, or the explanation and restitution we are determined to have.
In reality, when we dig in, we make this less likely to happen. We leave ourselves open to more injury, and also miss what good things might be happening while we're focused on the bad.
Another hurricane victim tells of having inadvertently left her cat shut up in one of the bedrooms in the home for five days and nights without food or water. When she returned, she found the cat in good health, though angry at having been deprived, and eager to head for the food dish.
There were no signs of struggle in the bedroom," she said. "I guess she just lay down and slept the whole time, conserving energy.
Resilience is an emotional intelligence competency that can help you withstand the storms of life. It means bouncing back after adversity, losses, rejections and insults, with unhindered enthusiasm and optimism.
How do you learn it? You'll have many opportunities in your life, it's likely, and can also observe others. Resilience, like any other EQ competency, can be learned. Learn the fundamentals, work with a coach, and use the raw material of your life to grow through adversity.
