RESILIENCYWhat is your definition of resiliency?
Resiliency is our ability to recover from
a challenge and to adapt and learn in
the face of adversity.
Resiliency
How we bounce back after a set back or challenge!
Three Coping StrategiesWays we can work through a tough time and come out the other end stronger.
Identify with your own unique sense of “Grit”-where do you get your
sense of purpose?
Recognize what you have control over and work toward acceptance
of what is out of your control.
Learn about resources available to you and seek them out and come
up with a plan for you and your family!
Grit and Gratitude
What is your idea of grit?
Write down some examples and share in
our chat how you overcame an obstacle
in your life. Gratitude can grow in
tough times when we focus on the
silver lining.
Dr. Angela Duckworth defines grit:
“Grit is about having what some researchers call an “ultimate concern”. A goal you care about so much that it organizes and gives meaning to almost everything you do.”
“The key is holding steadfast to that goal”.
Family Activity:5 minute brainstorm:
How does our family get back up again after a challenge?
What does grit mean to our family?
Who do we look to for guidance and modeling?
How do we look past an obstacle and remain hopeful?

What is your equation for Grit?
Grit = Purpose + Motivation +
Positive Mindset
Purpose keeps us moving forward
For most of us, purpose is a very motivating force that
connects us to a greater good.
Our drive to connect with and serve others promotes
not only the well being of others and our
communities, but also our own well being.
Focus on what you have control overWhen we focus on those things that we have
control over, such as setting a goal for ourselves in
achieving something important like learning a new
skill, we improve our sense of purpose and we gain
a real sense of security.
