Wellness has a lot to do with resilience, but resilience can be learned. We will learn how to gain empowerment through mindfulness, the importance of goals and values, and finally willpower and accepting reality. The purpose of this course is to teach skills for having resilience in the face of commonly experienced stressors and difficulties. Stated simply, resilience is the ability to both survive and thrive. Resilience is not only about your ability to positively adapt in the face of adverse or challenging circumstances (that is, survive), but it is also about learning the positive skills, strategies and routines that enable you to live a happy, fulfilling, and successful life (in other words, thrive). This course will provide you with a personalized set of strategies and skills for self-care. By the end of this course, you will have knowledge and skills that you can apply to your life now and in the future.

 

This class will be similar to the previous course, Wellness and Resilience, but there will be new content. Members can take either or both of the classes taught by Professor Katyal. The courses are different. You do not need one of the courses to take the other.
