Resilience: Increase Your Inner Strength | Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal

Jun 27, 2023

Today I am joined by Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal, an expert on resilience. Taryn discusses her upcoming book on the five practices of highly resilient people. She emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and failure as lessons for growth. The relationship between pain and movement in building resilience is also discussed along with the importance of authenticity and debunking misconceptions.

 

Key Points:
• There are five practices highly resilient people do to create positive and productive outcomes.

• Failure is an inevitable part of the journey towards a high-impact life.

• Failure in relationships and personal growth should be embraced as opportunities for learning and growth.

• Engaging in the five practices of highly resilient people can lead to momentum and a movement towards embracing resilience.

• The practice of productive perseverance involves pursuing goals intelligently while knowing when to pivot or quit.

 

Best Quotes:

06:36 - 06:57

• "What if there are behaviors that we can engage in that are within the span of our control, that when we implement these behaviors, any time, challenge, change and complexity or the three Cs show up in our lives, that we too, like the transportation could create a better outcome for ourselves?"

27:15 - 27:24

• "When you can actually go back into those things, use them for strength, it's really a growth moment. It's not a failure moment at all."

29:43 - 29:47

• "There's a higher standard, there's a difference, and it's a new endeavor."

38:01 - 38:20

• "In that moment we get to make a decision about how we want to respond to what's happening. And when we start making more decisions and behaving in ways that are going to create a better outcome, this creates momentum from that moment."

54:00 - 54:15

• "The extent that we can bring those together into one operating system or as close as possible, that can serve energy, especially when we're facing challenge and vulnerability, is the cornerstone of authenticity and empathy."

59:02 - 59:15

• "Nobody's like, great, I have a flat tire. It's wonderful, right? But so it takes some time. And then generosity, being able to draw on our vulnerability in order to generously share our resilient stories with others."
