 Cultivating resilience provides a continual strength and flexibility to tolerate emotional and psychological pain while developing new personal growth and lasting positive internal changes.

Methods are many and varied. The methods that are helpful are the methods that resonate with the individual.

Examples include:  
Developing personal and helpful rituals as simple as a daily morning walk or evening journal writing. Lighting a candle and being silent and alone for five full minutes.

Develop curiosity.

Develop knowledge and trust in the ongoing power of the life force in living beings.

Experience art and expand appreciation of perspectives different from those that are familiar.

Set aside time to self reflect.
