Resilient Living - PDF Format

You don't need to be facing a crisis to decide you want to become stronger and more confident.

Resilient living is a lifestyle choice. It's about choosing to accept the power you have to create the quality of your own life experience. One of the greatest misconceptions about resilience is that it is something to be left in reserve for a rainy day; that intentionally working to build resilience is preparing for a crisis that may or may not ever appear. The truth is life is filled with stressors of all shapes and sizes - bloated schedules, demanding relationships, health issues, unexpected detours and disappointment. Even the most longed for events such as a promotion, the birth of a child or marriage are rife with stress and unexpected challenges.

We can either choose to sit back and wait to face these experiences unprepared and simply hope for the best, or we can intentionally build everyday resilience and in the process learn to look for the opportunities in all of our experiences, minimize the effects of change and bumps in the road, and enjoy greater inner peace, confidence and fulfillment.
