Resilience River metaphor
How is your Resilience River?
Lets get you thinking; consider the following situation; when a river is high, the water whooshes over the rocks, not taken off course, and the rocks are respected but not dominant. Conversely, when the water is low, it’s the opposite effect. The rocks are felt much more, out of perspective, and the river can be pushed off its course. There is a tremendous effort in getting a good flow of moving towards where the river needs to go.
Knowing where your own resilience at any one moment helps define the capacity you have for what you have to do. This awareness defines your performance, defines your ability to drive towards a set of goals or whether you can be taken off course. Being aware of your capacity also defines the pace you can enact on and whether you feel good or not good.
