The leakier the better

Resilience: toughness, withstanding, springing back into shape.

One way of looking at resilience is imagining you have a bucket inside you. The bigger and more riddled with holes your bucket is, the better able you are to let go of stress. However, if you only have a small bucket with no holes, or only a few holes, you’re likely to be overwhelmed and constantly distressed.

How big and leaky would you say your resilience bucket is right now?

Could you look at ways to expand your bucket and add more holes through exploration and experimentation?
