How to Build Resilience

Today we're exploring who building resilience can help us feel more confident in our ability to cope with whatever life throws at us.

HOW DOES RESILIENCE DIFFER FROM PERSEVERANCE?

We reference Monty Python and Brene Brown as we discuss how much we need resilience in order to persevere but why relying on our resilience might not always be the best policy. 

WHY IS RESILIENCE IMPORTANT TO THE GOOD FAIL?

It may be a cornerstone of doing the good fail but we haven’t really acknowledged its importance until now and we go on to talk about how impossible it would be to keep going through the hard times without it. 

HOW CAN WE BE MORE RESILIENT? 

The good news is resilience can definitely be cultivated and we run through what steps we should take to build that resilience. But in a funny way it has more to do with letting down then building up. 

WHAT CAN WE CONCLUDE FROM ALL THIS? 

Resilience might just be our unsung hero and we’ll let you know why. 

WHAT’S OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS WEEK? 

Breathe Magazine

Issue 27 had a great article about resilience in it which gave us inspiration for this episode and is an all round brilliant slow living mag.

About the Podcast

The Good Fail
A guide from creatives on not giving up.
The Good Fail is brought to you by twin sisters Merle and Abra Hunt, Illustrator and writer/actor respectively, as they navigate life as creators and the struggle to keep going in the face of apparent failure.
Together this is their response to the medias onesided image of success. They're learning to embrace their failure and turn it into a positive, bringing you a different perspective on what it looks like to succeed in the creative business and life in general.

Abra & Merle Hunt

It started with finger painting, progressed to reams and reams of stick figures, scribbles, mother eating ghosts and anatomically incorrect spiders, grew into days spent in our room creating fantastical worlds we would draw and write about in fastidious detail, blossoming exponentially outwards as all encompassing hobby transformed to dedicated passion, when all school work came complete with intricate borders and full page drawings; we found new ways to express our inner world by breathing life into characters on stage and we counted the minutes we had to spend doing sports and maths lessons like they were hours. Later our creative zeal focused into a three year bachelors degree in illustration and a masters in creative writing, with it all finally culminating in a half finished illustrated novel, launching illustrated stationery business Merle Made Tales, collaborating on commissions for wedding and event stationery, getting the first few paid acting jobs and launching this podcast. One way or another, we were always going to be creators.
