Philadelphia, PA – Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal is a thought leader with a prolific blog and a budding podcast, Grow Forward, focused on cultivating her listeners’ resilience and full potential. She is the author of the copyrighted “Flourish or Fold: The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People”, which is expected to release as a book in 2020.
In the face of challenge, change, and complexity, why do some people flourish, while others fold? The essential condition required to live a flourishing life is not found in the absence of adversity, but rather in our response to difficulty. In particular, our willingness to engage in five behaviors, or practices, that lead to greater resilience in the face of challenge. These behaviors create a scaffolding that supports us when we inevitably face the challenge and serve as a buffer against stress and overwhelm.
“The myth of resilience is that we bounce back. The truth of resilience is that we bounce forward,” stated Stejskal.
Contrary to popular belief, resilience is not bouncing forward, and it is not passive, in the sense that time heals all wounds. Rather, resilience is an active process that allows us to integrate our challenges in order to bounce forward were people that are fundamentally and forever changed, with greater wisdom, compassion, and appreciation for our trials.
Flourish or fold enlightens us to the human capacity to be present in the face of challenge and to leverage the lessons inherent in the challenge, change, and complexity for deeper personal growth and development.
