After watching the video, there are two keys to compassion resilience that resonate with me. The first key to compassion resilience that resonates with me is the idea of exposing ourselves to the resilience of others. In the video, one of the speakers describes this particular key as having the ability to listen to students and educators so that we have an idea of what their resilience look(ed)s like. The simple act of listening to others is valuable because it gives us the opportunity to empathize, relate, and learn. In the video, one of the speakers states that teachers, "found their way back through supports from other teachers." I do think that educators can get weighed down by the minutiae of the daily grind and that it is helpful to reach out and learn from others so that we can become more compassion resilience.
The second key to compassion that resonates with me is the idea of self-care and centering ourselves. One of the speakers in the video mentions that it is important to take a step back in a beautiful place so that we can reconnect with our sense of self. Whether we take some time in the summer or even during a tough week in the school year, it is pivotal that educators (and students) take the time to recharge their batteries. As stated earlier in my response, we often get weighed down by the grind of our routine. I think that stepping out of that routine, even if it is just briefly, is essential and allows us to take a step back, prioritize our mental health, and distance ourselves from the grind of daily life.
