RiseWell 1: You Are Already Resilient is for the learner who has come through hard things and wants to understand how, or who is in a demanding season of study, after a disappointing mark, a module to repeat or a long, hard term, and wants practical skills rather than slogans. It is the first of the four courses in the RiseWell resilience series and lays the foundations the later courses build on.
The course begins with the resilience you have already used. Resilience is ordinary: it grows from everyday skills and relationships, and it can be built. You learn the four places a setback lands, mind, heart, body, and connection and spirit, and you watch your own recoveries one setback at a time, so that each becomes part of a real record. It teaches skills for everyday resilience; it is not therapy.
Your Starting Point gives you the Brief Resilience Scale, My Resilience Story and the Bounce-Back Check-In, a two-minute log to use after any setback. Four foundations follow. In Mind: Curiosity Over Judgement, Two Paths has you take one real trigger down a judging path and back up a learning path, then choose one step. In Heart: Befriend the Negative, Grow the Positive you name difficult emotions and grow positive ones. Body: Movement as Medicine offers Completing the Stress Cycle and Movement Snacking, and Connection and Spirit: You Matter turns to your values, strengths and purpose. Carry It Forward closes with My Self-Experiment.
Begin with Your Starting Point, and after your next setback, however small, spend two minutes on the Bounce-Back Check-In. The free 24-hour trial lets you look through the whole course first.
