About the Solutions

Overview

It can help to see ourselves as composed of four different elements: earth, air, fire,
water. These can be taken to correspond to different aspects of ourselves:

Earth: The Physical Self – voice, position, tone, fitness
Air: The Mental Self – mind, thinking, logic, strategy
Water: The Emotional Self – feelings, rapport, empathy
Fire: The Spiritual Self – vision, purpose, inspiration

Building a daily or weekly practice that activates and exercises each of these four
elements will go a long way towards helping us maintain our energy levels, vitality and
well being as we go about our purposeful work.

Exercises:
Personal Resilience 1­day Programme
Inner Critic Exercise
Resilience Exercise

The challenge

As we work on issues related to sustainability, building community and global
resilience, we need to take care of ourselves. Too often our efforts may deplete us,
leaving us exhausted or even burnt out. How can we develop our personal resilience?

It is really wonderful how much resilience there is in human nature. Let any obstructing
cause, no matter what, be removed in any way, even by death, and we fly back to first
principles of hope and enjoyment. ­ Bram Stoker
