Book Testimonial
"Marilyn Orr is my mentor coach. She’s helping me get my credentialing through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I think she’s a hoot. She’s also a really sharp woman with a background in psychology. She had me pegged from day one. Yup! It’s annoying but also really brilliant. In her book, How Absorbent Are Your Shocks?, she talks a lot about resilience.
How Well Put Together How Absorbent Are Your Shocks Is
I loved the way Marilyn put this book together. She uses the fuel tank/car metaphor throughout the book. In coaching, we often find that by using metaphors, we can make difficult concepts more accessible to our clients. Marilyn is certainly no fool. She gets this. We all can understand that we need to put more fuel in our tanks to get the best out of ourselves in life, love and more.
There are a total of ten chapters. Each deals with a different aspect of resiliency. The first chapter is a basic overview of the process. At the end of each chapter, there are journal questions and an action plan. Marilyn does NOT let you off the hook. I had to do a chapter a day. I couldn’t really do more than that, to be honest.
Resilience is Serious Business
Marilyn shares a lot of herself in the book. You can tell this was a labor of love. She is an expert in everyday resiliency. She’s been through so much in her own life. She’s a f*cking rockstar. You would do well to give her the time and attention that this book deserves. Do the exercises. Figure out the resources you have in your life and access them to live a better life during and after reading the book. Resilience can demonstrate how easily and quickly we rebound from less than desirable circumstances in our life. The more resilience we can muster, the better off we will be.
Have you ever had a bad experience in your life? Okay, you don’t have to answer. I already know. If you’re human, you’ve lived through some bad experiences. You’ve also lived through some good ones. You can bounce back from anything with a little help. Fill up your fuel tank with activities that really serve you and feed your soul as well as your body and mind.
Conclusion
Alright, even if Marilyn Orr was not my mentor coach, I would’ve read this book. I really think it’s helped me access some resources and insights that I didn’t know I had. I am meditating more and reading more. I am volunteering. I love to help others as a life coach and as a private person. I feel more motivated to live my life and take care of myself and others. There’s more room for others because I have more to give now. Resilience is a beautiful thing. Let Marilyn teach you how to access it for yourself. Read How Absorbent Are Your Shocks?

Really, a Pill for Loneliness?There truly is research going on for this right now. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/26/pill-for-loneliness-psychology-science-medicineIt is not that this isn’t a major problem. It is a huge issue now and trends show it having grown.22% of adults in the USA “always or often” feel lonely.
A dear friend of mine said to me once, “you know what I need before I do”.Being sensitive to emotions and subtle language cues is not something I was born doing. In my mid-twenties I was oblivious to my own anger. I mean, really oblivious.
Speak to your audience Take a few moments to plan your post Don’t forget to add images Edit carefully before posting You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you. Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words. Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
