WELCOME
WELCOME BACK TO ATLANTA AND COMPANY.
COMPANY.
COMPANY. I AM SO HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU.
WELL THIS PANDEMIC AND
QUARANTINE HAS BEEN SO HARD ON
ALL OF US.
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT
I'VE HAD THOSE DAYS, IT IS SO
EASY JUST TO GET INTO THIS
NEGATIVITY SPIRAL.
NEGATIVITY SPIRAL. BUT THE EXPERTS SAY HOPEFULLY
THIS TIME AND THE TIME STILL TO
COME IS A CHANCE FOR US TO GROW
AND BE STRONGER
AND MORE RESILIENT.
HERE TO TELL US MORE ABOUT HOW
WE CAN DO JUST THAT IS
PSYCHIATRIST AND OFFER OF A
MOMENT OF INSIGHT, OTHERWISE
KNOWN AS OUR DEAR FRIEND DR. B.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
WITH US.
WITH US.
WITH US. >> HELLO, CHRISTINE.
I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S NOT THE
SAME WITHOUT YOU ALL IN THE
MORNING.
MORNING.
MORNING. >> OH, MY GOSH, I SO APPRECIATE
HEARING THAT AND WE'VE HEARD IT
FROM OTHER VIEWER WHOSE SAY, DO
YOU KNOW WHAT, WE KNOW THIS IS
GOING ON, IF IT CAN BE A
RESPITE FROM, YOU KNOW, OUR
FEARS, OUR ANXIETY, THEN THAT'S
WHAT WE
WHAT WE
WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR, THAT'S WHAT YOU
DO EVERY TIME YOU'RE ON THE
SHOW.
SHOW.
SHOW. I
SHOW. I IMAGINE PEOPLE HAVE HAD YOU
ON SPEED DIAL, YOU ARE A VOICE
OF CALM AND REASON,
REASSURANCE.
REASSURANCE. LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW DO WE TURN
SUCH -- IT'S NOT JUST A LITTLE
BIT NEGATIVE, I MEAN, PEOPLE
ARE HURTING AND SUFFERING.
HOW DO WE TURN THIS INTO A
POSITIVE THAT ACTUALLY
STRENGTHENS US.
STRENGTHENS US. >> SO, RESILIENCE IS THE
ABILITY TO COPE DURING TOUGH
TIMES, RIGHT?
TIMES, RIGHT? SO, RESILIENT PEOPLE NOT ONLY
FIND A WAY TO COPE BUT THEY
FIND A WAY TO COME OUT STRONGER
ON THE OTHER SIDE
AND FIND A SENSE OF PURPOSE
THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS.
SO THE OTHER WAY TO THINK ABOUT
THIS, AN OBJECT THAT IS
RESILIENT.
RESILIENT. IT FINDS ITS SHAPE AGAIN AND
COMES OUT STRONGER.
SO THAT'S WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN TO US HERE AS WELL.
IN FACT, WE HAVE A REALLY
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY HERE,
BECAUSE WE'RE A ALL GOING
THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.
IT IS REALLY HARD WHEN YOU'RE
FACING PERSONAL STRUGGLE TO BE
RESILIENT.
RESILIENT. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN FIND
WAYS TO NOT ONLY LEARN FROM ONE
ANOTHER, LEAN ON EACH OTHER AND
COME OUT STRONGER
IN THE END.
THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. RESILIENCE DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE
AREN'T GOING TO STRUGGLE, GET
UP EVERY MORNING WITH A SMILE
ON YOUR FACE.
WE FIND A WAY TO HAVE PURPOSE
AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO
DO.
DO.
DO. >>
DO. >> I
DO. >> I LOVE IT.
I ACTUALLY HAVE CHILLS.
I MEAN IT IS SO SO TRUE.
BY THE WAY, I'M TRYING TO TEACH
THAT TO MY CHILDREN.
SO IT IS REALLY THE ONUS IS ON
AS ADULTS, AS PARENTS TO TRY
AND BE STRONG AND BRAVE AND
SHOW THEM THAT WE CAN
GET THROUGH THIS.
WE HAVE SPECIFIC WAYS WE CAN
USE THIS TIME SO WE CAN GROW.
LET'S DIVE IN.
>> I WANT TO REMIND YOU, YOU
SAID ABOUT OUR CHILDREN, WE ARE
ROLE MODELS FOR OUR KIDS AND
VIEWERS WHO ARE
WATCHING RIGHT NOW, BUT IF YOU
THINK YOU WISH YOU HAD MORE
RESILIENCE, RESILIENCE IS A
SKILL, CAN YOU BUILD IT LIKE
YOU BUILD YOUR MUSCLES.
ONE WAY TO DO THAT IS TO HAVE A
SENSE OF CONTROL.
THERE IS SO MUCH RIGHT NOW IN
OUR LIVE THAT WE HAVE NO
CONTROL OVER, THAT'S WHAT'S SO
MUCH OVER THIS
SITUATION, WE DON'T CONTROL HOW
LONG THIS IS GOING TO LAST OR
WHAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OR
WHAT THE PEOPLE
AROUND US ARE DOING.
RESILIENT PEOPLE REMIND
THEMSELVES WHAT IS UNDER THEIR
CONTROL AND THEY DO THAT, HAVE
YOU TO TAKE THE NEXT
STEP FORWARD TO BE RESILIENT
MEANS YOU ARE NOT STUCK AND
JUST WANT TO MAKE THE NEXT STEP
FORWARD.
FORWARD.
FORWARD. THE THINGS CAN YOU CONTROL, YOU
CAN CONTROL TAKING PRECAUTIONS,
YOU CAN CONTROL BEING INFORMED.
YOU CAN CONTROL FINDING
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS, LOOK WHAT
WE ARE DOING HERE.
MOST OF ALL YOU CAN CONTROL
YOUR ATTITUDE.
YOUR ATTITUDE. FINDING GRATITUDE WHERE YOU
CAN, TAKING AWAY THE POSITIVES
FROM THIS EXPERIENCE.
HAVING A SENSE OF CONTROL IS
REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU ARE
TRYING TO BE RESILIENT.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. AND, DOCTOR, I KNOW YOUR NEXT
POINT IS SOMETHING WE'VE ALL
TRIED TO DO.
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS
COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK, IS
ALSO FINDING THOSE STRONG
SOCIAL CONNECTIONS.
SOCIAL CONNECTIONS. IF WE CAN'T HUG AND WE CAN'T
TOUCH AND SO MANY OF US MISS
THAT, THERE ARE WAYS TO DO IT
AND WE ARE DOING THAT
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. >> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
I HAVE TO SAY, I MISS THE HUGS,
I'M A HUGGER.
BUT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
WE'RE REALIZING THIS TIME OF
SOCIAL DISTANCING IS WE ALL
NEEDED CONNECTIONS.
NEEDED CONNECTIONS. WHETHER YOU THINK YOU ARE AN
EXTRAVERT OR AVERT, WE ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE CONNECTED.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE PERSONAL
STRENGTH, RESILIENT PEOPLE HAVE
A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY.
THERE IS A BIGGER PICTURE WHAT
IT IS THEY ARE GOING THROUGH.
WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS
ONE WAY OF DOING THAT, BEING
AROUND ONE ANOTHER, DISTANCE IN
BETWEEN, HAVING
BETWEEN, HAVING THE DRIVE BUYS WHERE YOU ARE
WAVE TO SOMEONE.
RESILIENT PEOPLE KNOW THAT'S
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. I
>> YES. I LOVE YOUR NEXT POINT AND THAT
IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE
DIFFICULT BUT AGAIN, I JUST
LIKE YOU SAID, IT TAKES
PRACTICE, THAT IS CHANGING OUR
MINDSET.
MINDSET.
MINDSET. >> YEAH, CHANGING OUR MINDSET
MEANS THAT RESILIENT PEOPLE ARE
REALISTIC.
REALISTIC. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE GOING TO
THROUGH IS SOMETHING TOUGH.
WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT IT
THROUGH ROSE COLORED GLASS.
RESILIENT PEOPLE EMBRACE A
CHALLENGE, THEY REMIND
THEMSELVES THEY HAVE GONE
THROUGH OTHER THINGS BEFORE AND
ALWAYS SURVIVED IT.
WE ARE SURVIVORS.
OPTIMISTS REMIND THEMSELVES
THAT THEY CAN DO CERTAIN THING
THAT WILL GET THEM THROUGH THIS
SITUATION, THEY CAN COME OUT ON
THE OTHER SIDE.
MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
RESILIENT PEOPLE DO IS THEY
EMBRACE FAILURE.
EMBRACE FAILURE. THEY KNOW THEY DON'T ALWAYS
HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT, THEY KNOW
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, BUT WE
ALL ADAPT AND WE ALL SURVIVE.
LOOK AT US, WE'RE HERE, WE'RE
SURVIVING, THIS IS RESILIENCE.
>> I LOVE THIS.
DOCTOR, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET YOU
BACK IN THE STUDIO.
THANK YOU FOR THIS AND I'M SURE
WE WILL BE CALLING UPON YOU A
LOT IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR JUST
MAKING US FEEL SO COMFORTABLE
WITH SOMETHING THAT IS SO
UNCOMFORTABLE.
UNCOMFORTABLE.
