Challenge negative thought patterns and regularly ground myself. 3 Reply Don Jones1 year agoDon JonesThe great thing is to be as simple as God. See what is given. This is the marvelous thing. If I would relax into what is blazingly obvious, I should find all that I need. It is a kind, kind old world. It hides nothing essential. The more essential a thing is, the more given it is. We imagine it’s the other way round. What is really important is given free now. 6 Reply Pollyanna Gladwell1 year agoPollyanna GladwellBy keeping a sense of humor, asking myself how important whatever potential stressor is in the greater scheme of my life, and using the wonderful “Stop, Look, Go tool to find gratefulness. And by a daily reading all of the wonderful posts on this site. Blessings. 4 Reply Caroline1 year agoCarolineKnowing I am not alone and cared for by people here and the other side who love me . My life is evidence of what I have lived, experienced and have within me which helps when I am unable to move . 4 Reply Lauryn1 year agoLaurynBy remembering my past —- an unhappy childhood, bad relationship, jobs not worth the stress levels they created… and realizing I made it through all that. My tendency is to always jump to ‘worst case scenario’, but I think by remembering my resilience in handling difficult situations in the past (and also realizing things are never as bad as I think they will be), it can help me deal with whatever comes my way. 4 Reply Zenith1 year agoZenithI have already grown it through a life of great difficulty. Life is a series of one circumstance after another teaching us to keep getting up. Some learn it faster than others. It depends on ones temperament. 4 Reply DeVonna1 year agoDeVonnaBy reminding myself of all that I have overcome in my life. I have learned that I don’t need to be in control of a situation to survive it. 17 yrs in foster care, 6 yrs in the Marines, 38+ yrs of marriage, raising four children and burying one of them, all this and more have taught me that the only constant in my life is the presence of God. The knowledge that I am never alone and that my life has purpose gives me courage and hope. 16 Reply pkr1 year agopkrDeVonna, Thank you for your touching response. I love your wisdom. May you continue to be blessed by God. Sending you love & light. ❤️🙏✨ 6 Reply sunnypatti1 year agosunnypattiBy continuing to do what I do each day – meditate, journal, practice gratitude, and pray. Doing this for several years now has made me strong and resilient. Its helped me maintain peace amongst the stormy times. It has allowed me to be an example to those around me. And I am always looking to others who maintain their inner peace, seeking guidance since there are many ways on the path of light ✨ 10 Reply kimthompsen1 year agokimthompsenEvery morning before I answer the daily question, I look at all of your responses. All of you have been helping me understand what is being asked. Thank YOU! Like some, I look back on what I’ve been through and exclaim, “Holy moly! Look at all Ive been through!” Like others, I call on Christ. I, too, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. And I constantly look out for new tools to add to my toolkit, so I will have to find out more about the Resiliency Bank Account! 14 Reply Lauryn1 year agoLaurynI always read the other responses too before I add mine 3 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleI’m the opposite, I always answer first then go back and read others responses:) 0 Reply Annie1 year agoAnnieBy practicing self-compassion, doing self-care activities, enhancing coping skills through different self-awareness exercises, and maintaining an attitude of gratitude despite internal and external crisis. 10 Reply Julian Daal Childers1 year agoJulian Daal ChildersBy looking back and seeing all the things that I once thought would break me or be a problem and realize that I am here now…inspite of what I once thought would take me out. 11 Reply Trish1 year agoTrishLittle pep talks with Jesus are my favorite! Nobody cultivates resiliency better than my guy, Jesus….⭐️ 7 Reply Gregoire1 year agoGregoireI pray for strength and fortitude. I am trying hard too accept my circumstance and not run from them. 6 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleCultivating resilience comes by inner peace, finding strength, daily gratitude, meditation, and good ol rest and relaxation:) Anyone else see the leaf in today’s word for the day pic as a stingray? 8 Reply sunnypatti1 year agosunnypattiI saw the stingray, too! 3 Reply Kevin1 year agoKevinI can best cultivate resilience within myself by keeping my expectations low and flexible, and my hopes prayerfully high. 7 Reply Howie Geib1 year agoHowie GeibOne of the features of the Everglades that I love so much is the fact that as an eco-system its inhabitants are fragile yet resilient. This combination gives them the ability to withstand extremes and overcome adversity. Personally I remain committed to trending towards vulnerability, a defensive strategy of being prepared as opposed to being powerful, and trimming my sails. By that I mean to say living in such a way as using only what I need and not more.
