1. Many individuals talk about resiliency as a "battle" and others define it as "bouncing back"or "moving through." How do YOU define resiliency based on what you've learned so far? What makes you define resiliency this way?

2. Based on the article, "How to Stop Automatic Negative Thoughts" which of the eight common thought holes do you fall into? Explain. (Note: If you feel like you don't fall into any category, provide an example of someone in your life who commonly uses these thought holes and explain what makes you think this way.)

3. Think about a time in your life where someone rejected you, you missed out on something important or when a big plan collapsed. These would be points in your life where a door closed. Now, think about what happened after and answer the following:

• • What led to the door closing?
  • What doors opened after?
  • Was it easy or hard for you to realize that a new door was open?
  • What can you do next time to recognize the new opportunity sooner?
  • What would have never happened if the first door didn't close?
  • Did the experience bring anything positive to your life?
