Resilience is essential for everyone Katiedid vs... by Katiedid Langrock The mall mecca Throughout my life I have had the opportunity to meet people who have experienced multiple traumatic chal- lenges in their lives. Some have been able to successfully work through their complicated issues, but others seem to have more difficulty managing their thoughts and emotions related to any change or significant event. The difference is that some people have not fully developed their ability to be resilient. According to the Ameri- can Psychological Association, the ability to be resilient is actually ordi- nary, not extraordinary. The American Heritage Medical Dictionary defines resiliency as "the ability to recover quickly from illness, change, or misfortune." The American Psychological Associ- ation reports that research shows peo- ple who exhibit resiliency have devel- oped supportive and caring relation- ships with friends and family, make plans they are able to complete, are confident in their strengths and abil- ities, manage their intense emotions and reactions to extreme events, com- municate effectively, and work toward solving their problems appropriately. The American Psychological Associ- ation also identifies 10 techniques that can enhance one's ability to become more resilient: • Develop truly trusting, caring, and supportive relationships with friends, co-workers and family mem- bers. These relationships can be devel- oped by spending more time with the significant people in your life. • Identify small positive changes in emotional distress. For example, ac- knowledge "I feel happier today than I felt yesterday." Journaling can help identify changes in emotional state on a day-to-day basis. • Change is a continuous process throughout our lives. A person might not be able to change a situation but can work toward solving smaller prob- lems related to the situation. • Set smaller attainable goals to identify each success. An example might be, "I woke up this morning and ate my breakfast." In some cases these are definitely achievements that can be celebrated. • Admit that the problem exists and work toward fixing the issue. When a person denies that he or she has ex- perienced a difficult situation they are avoiding healing, which makes it more difficult to recover. • Identify self-growth by acknowl- edging successes and the goals that have been achieved. When an individ- ual solves one problem they might feel more confident to solve others. • Realize that you are able to re- solve problematic situations. This re- alization is created when each addi- tional problem is solved. • Do not exaggerate problems as- sociated with the incident. When a person views the problem realistical- ly they are able to handle it more ef- fectively. • Stay positive by focusing on a bet- ter and brighter future. • Identify your emotions and your needs, which includes being able to re- lax and participate in activities that are enjoyable, such as spending time with family and friends. Please remember that everyone is able to develop their ability to become more resilient. With determination, confidence, support, and encourage- ment, any issue can be managed and resolved effectively.

" My husband ran his fin- gers along the sleek furniture, admiring the stylish pad. It was as if we had stumbled onto something magi- cal, like Alice tripping through the looking glass and winding up in a world of wonder that, though unimag- inable, was somehow built as if with her in mind. My husband was right. This place was totally sweet. The sweetest bathroom there ev- er was. Not so much a bathroom, per se, as a Family Chang- ing Station. You wouldn't call an Aston Martin a car, would you? What we had here was a bona fide 20 -by-20 -foot sanc - tuary of mahogany paneling, intoxicating airflow of island breeze Febreze and the won- drous wish fulfillment of not one but two diaper pails. This fly crib was souped up with leather armchairs, flat-screen T Vs and all the hottest, hip- pest must-see channels: PBS Kids Sprout, Nick Jr.—the works, baby! And that's not all. This platinum parenting paradise took even elite privileges in- to consideration. Breast-feed- ing stalls with pumping out- lets were fitted with privacy curtains. Double thick, y'all! It sure beats the time I blew the car battery pumping in my Jeep on a lunch break. If one had to be top- less, this room was the place to do it. I should have known my life was heading down this path of parental impropriety. A life in which bathroom talk consumes all my talk. In which a Family Changing Station becomes the Holy Grail to my Indy- Mama Jones. The first leg to my utopian discovery kicked off Thurs- day, when I got a text from a friend I met in birthing class. "What are you guys doing Saturday? Wanna take the kids to the mall to hang out in the play area? " It had been a long time since my husband and I had a play date with anyone. Road tripping to a mall a half-hour away and eating in a food court sounded akin to a ro- mantic evening of dancing and downing cocktails. I was all in. "It's like we are 15," my friend said as we waited in line at the indoor carousel. "What adult texts and asks if you want to hang out at the mall? " "Adults with kids," I thought. "That's who." It was during our dinner in the food court that my girl- friend disappeared to find a place to change her son and returned to tell us about At- ANTIQUE AND TOOL AUCTION Saturday, Sept. 29 • 10 a.m. EDT Location: 2667 E.
