Okay, I'm continuing to tryout this recommended book, The Resilience Factor. I've just finished the second chapter, which included a survey to evaluate various characteristics which affect one's resilience. When I glanced over the list of sections, I was sure that I was going to score lowest on one particular factor: impulse control. In fact, that was far and away my highest score, and one of only two in which I scored above the average range. The other was optimism, which I would've expected a year ago but not so much of late. There were a couple other areas in which I was at the very top edge of the average range. And there was only one - emotional regulation - in which I was in the lower half of the average range.
I'm not concluding that this book will be useless for me. But I am very close to concluding that I should look for another resource that better addresses my weak points. Or maybe the things that I've been dealing with will be fairly easily addressed now that I'm getting some help in doing so.
