Resilient Quote: "His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night...He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in it's season, and it's leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers." Psalm 1:2-3.
Resilient News Article: What provides conditions-based resilience? Rooted in Relationships, Community, and Religion...This excerpt below is from https://www.afterbabel.com?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web. I found this research from Dr. Jonathan Haidt, Professor at NYU, et. al, here: https://open.substack.com/pub/jonathanhaidt/p/youth-health-declines-82-countries?r=29i036&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email: "The Global Loss of the U-Shaped Curve of Happiness." Spoiler alert: part of it is due to the loss of the rootedness of religion in society.
3. Resilient Point from my book Resilience Unlimited, How to Always Find Your Best Path. Dr. Lisa Miller of Columbia University, author of the Awakened Brain provided this data to U.S. Army Chaplains during the Spiritual Readiness Initiatives (SRI), "A person who has a developed spiritual core, someone who is regularly practicing religion, is 80 less like to become addicted, has 70% protective factor agains risk-taking, 60% less like to be depressed, and 50% to over 80% less likely to commit suicide." With an understanding of resilience from statistics like this, it's time for a new health revolution by encouraging spiritual growth in clients and the public. [More than I.Q, and E.Q] Spiritual Intelligence (S.I.) should lead the way. This is a reflection from pages 68-69.
4. Resilient Vocabulary Word(s). Here are four Latin words for this week: Oratio, meaning "prayer." Meditatio, meaning "meditation." Contemplatio, meaning "contemplation." Lectio Divina, meaning spiritual reading. Spiritual reading is a type of prayer that incorporates Oratio, Meditatio, and Contemplatio.
