Welcome to the inaugural issue of my newsletter!
Thank you so much for being a subscriber. On the
first Friday of every month, I’ll be bringing you
resources to help support, inform, and entertain you.
For those that don’t know, zugunruhe (pronounced zoog’-un-rooey) is a term from
ornithology. It means the migratory urge. I think
zugunruhe is a great description for what people
feel when they’re ready for a change: the itching to
move, get going, and cover new territory.
One of my favorite things is connecting people with
resources, opportunities, and each other. This
month, I’ll be giving you some tips on how to bounce
back from setbacks and a chance to sign up for my
get-unstuck-and-get-writing teleclass. What would
you like to see next month? Success stories? Tips
for productivity? Book reviews? Feel free to email
me anytime with suggestions, questions, or comments.
And if you know someone else who might be
interested, please forward this email. Have a great
October!
Peace be with you,
Tara

Resiliency: How to bounce back from setbacks
Resiliency is the ability to bounce back from
adversity. Resilient people are flexible. When an
obstacle shows up, they find a way around, over, or
through it. Resilient people learn from the bad
things that happen to them. They get better and
ultimately, more successful. Here are some ways you
can boost your resiliency.
- Generate possibilities and options. The more
explanations or options you can come up with, the
more choices you have in how to respond.
- Accept support. When someone asks if
they can
help, think of an answer other than ‘no.’
- Do something nice for someone else. It’s
good
therapy and good karma. For some examples plus a big
dose of warm fuzzies, watch this video (and enjoy the music!).
- Count your blessings. Try this simple
exercise: every evening, write down three good
things that happened to you. For each good thing,
write down what caused it. Research shows that
writing down three good things and their causes
every night for just
seven nights significantly improves happiness. When
you are happier, you are more resilient.
- Look for your strengths. What are you
best at?
What brings you the most joy? Take the VIA
Signature Strengths test and then
look for novel ways to apply your strengths to your
situation.
