The More Resilient You Are, The More Resilient You Will Be
The Good News
Between 2022 and 2025, Canadians became measurably more comfortable with uncertainty despite objectively harder conditions.
This is what we call the “Post-Disruption Resilience Effect”.
And this is good news.
We conducted research during the two most uncertain times in our history, during the pandemic and during the first 100 days of this unprecedented presidency, and we’ve got good news.
The more resilient you are, the more resilient you will be.
What this means is that the more challenge and change you have faced, the more challenge and change you can face in the future.
This is good news.
It’s good news because WOW have we faced a lot of challenge and change. And it’s good news because WOW we will continue to be facing more.
However, change in itself is not the issue, it is the uncertainty. And more specifically, it is our discomfort with “not-knowing” that causes stress and other health related issues.
But not everyone reacts the same way. People in identical circumstances respond in fundamentally different ways and it is predictable, measurable, and most importantly, changeable.
Those that are more comfortable with uncertainty, those who are more comfortable not-knowing, are healthier overall.
The good news is that everyone can learn to be more comfortable with uncertainty, or what I call being UnScripted.
The good news is that YOU Got This!
