How do we build resilience?
-
Set your intention. It’s your compass, pointing you to where you want to go.
-
Lean into awareness. Self awareness is the keystone to any meaningful change. Bringing our thoughts and feelings to consciousness allows us to learn from them rather than be driven by them.
-
Intention and insight are important first steps, but lasting change takes root through ongoing practice. Each time we try something new, navigate a challenge, learn from a setback, and begin again, we strengthen our resilience and expand our capacity to adapt, grow, and move through life's difficulties with greater equanimity.
Where our attention goes, neural pathway grows.
Put therapy into practice in between sessions.
