We Can’t Bounce Back From Everything
Resilience is becoming a buzzword, a mainstay of many books telling us to recover and grow from difficulties. This substitute word for mental toughness may not be enough to adjust or recoup from misfortune, heartbreak, or a tragedy.
Pure resilience, it seems, is hard to cultivate and may be difficult to maintain even for people who use mindfulness to become mentally tough and strong. It is an ineffective coping device for people who believe they are weak.

Life Cannot Be The Same After A Crisis
Bouncing back from a profound loss or suffering may be impossible for many, as the crisis has created a black hole in their universe, which they have now entered. It is not the time to look back, as the past self is suddenly useless and irrelevant.
Bouncing back does not take into account the dynamic mind shift that has happened to the individual.

Hardships can be dealt with imagination, curiosity, openness and adaptability towards the expansive potential of a new future.

What Matters The Most When Facing A Crisis
- The first question we need to ask during or after a crisis is what is it that matters to us the most? What must we protect and hold on to? We need to look at what is possible in this new reality and what choices we have.
- One has to pull the pieces together and craft a workable life by imagining and implementing small things that are extremely heavy at that time.
- Feelings of gratitude, connection, bonding and compassion are crucial in the times of suffering as they give us space and relief.

Pain Creates A Tunnel Vision
Pain narrows down our choices and creates a tunnel vision that can lead to negative thinking and even self-harm. Positivity by itself feels shallow.
Imagination comes with a choice of action, which offers a possibility to feel something apart from pain.

Mindfulness Practice For Crisis Situations
- Use deep breathing or a mantra to acknowledge the reality of the traumatic event.
- Choose a positive word or phrase that helps you stay grounded, like love, peace or connection.
- Imagine what the future can be using the chosen word.
- The simple act of imagining unglues us from the negative and bleak mindset we may be stuck with.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
