10 Things to Build Resilience

February 27, 2022 by nancy Leave a Comment

  1.  Learn to relax – This thought sounds easier than it is.  My Dad gave me a reminder token which reads, “practice doing nothing is an artform”
  2. Practice thought awareness – My mind can be my greatest enemy.  I often struggle with making sure I treat myself the way a best friend would talk to you.  I try and practice positive thinking. 
  3. Choose your response –  Never respond when your angry.  I have done this in the past and it never works to your advantage.  I am now trying not to respond to things right away, trying to pause.  My Mom told me, “Don’t be angry”, I am trying to lighten up and not be so angry.  This has been a hard one for me.
  4. Clear your thoughts – I find going for a walk especially connecting with nature is a great way to clear the mind.
  5. Make Connections – Keep in touch with people that make you feel good about yourself.  Stay clear of negative people and negative influences.  I have let go of people that no longer fit in my life today.  I am realizing the old saying, “you are truly blessed if you have 1 true friend”.
  6. Should I take action to solve this fear – Understand fear and embrace it, name the fear.  Learning more about why I am fearful of something or someone helps.
  7. Make Everyday Meaningful – There is always something to be grateful for.  Start a gratitude list, always always there is something positive in a day!
  8. Remain Hopeful – Without hope we are nothing.  Hope keeps us going, always have hope in your future, I have found this to be most helpful in keeping going.
  9. Get to know yourself – Getting to know your strengths and weaknesses in your personality helps so much.  I try to embrace my weaknesses and try to find the positives in them.
  10. Be Present – I try to live in the now and in the day.  It is not always easy, but trying to stay present for yourself and others is a gift.  I try and stay off my phone when my children are talking to me.  I try and be more present with their day to day activities. I always ask them, “how their day went?”
