Personal Readiness

 

Soldiers can achieve positive outcomes when confronting both military and personal challenges by enhancing their personal readiness. Personal readiness is bolstered by resilience, which helps us cope with life’s challenges. Resilience is a process that requires adoption of productive behaviors, thoughts and actions that can be learned.  Soldier and unit resilience keeps the Army ready. physical, emotional, social, spiritual and family. Sustaining healthy behaviors across these dimensions is essential for optimal performance..

 

Five Dimensions of Personal Readiness

 

Physical resilience builds self-confidence and the ability to lead yourself and others through tough situations in life. People who get plenty of sleep, eat nutritious foods and exercise daily can enhance their performances. Physical and emotional health, along with having a strong and durable body can translate into sharper mental abilities.


Emotional resilience involves recognizing emotions and striving for appropriate emotional responses. Emotions can either get in our way or help us thrive. Resilience is not being happy all the time, but more about being able to experience the right emotions at the right time. Emotions like anxiety, anger, or sadness can be very important in our ability to prepare, gain energy, and reach out to others.

 

Social connection promotes resilience by overcoming challenges and staying close to people you care about. Building and maintaining relationships is not easy, but these skills can help you learn how to get close

and stay close to people you care about. With just one close relationship, you are more able to overcome challenges and setbacks than if you’re in it alone.

 

Spiritual readiness ensures self-sustainability through times of stress, hardship and tragedy. It can improve one’s spiritual posture through a self-directed process that is informed by an individual’s religious, philosophical, or human values. These core values form that individual’s sense of identity, purpose, motivation, character and integrity. They enable one to build inner strength, make meaning of experiences, behave ethically, persevere through challenges, and be resilient when faced with adversity.

 

Family strength is crucial for surviving frequent moves, deployments and transitions; building and maintaining relationships and problem-solving skills help Soldiers and their Families navigate daily challenges. It helps when you are knowledgeable about resources available to military Families to improve quality of life, support financial readiness and enrich family relationships.
