Everyday Resilience: A Practical Guide to Build Inner Strength and Weather Life's Challenges QUOTES

2 " Resilience is a well of inner resources that allows you to weather the difficulties and challenges you encounter without unnecessary mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual distress. "

3 " Far from being a passive endurance of life's tribulations, resilience is an active process you can choose to engage it. As we explore the key factors that cultivate resilience—connection, flexibility, perseverance, self-regulation, positivity, and self-care—you’ll gain clarity on the many choice points you have. "

4 " It turns out that you already have resilience deep within you. While we often consider resilience to be an exceptional quality, in fact it resides within everyone. Most of us don’t know how to access our resilience, however, as we never learned that we each have an unshakeable, deep inner core of strength and capability. For many of us, rediscovering that buried core of resilience takes some thoughtful and determined excavation. "

5 " Resilience is a renewable strength that lies within us, which we can draw upon to provide what we need to meet the challenges we face. "

6 " For resilience to deepen, we have to diminish the inner critic, lessening the amount of airtime the voice typically garners. We have to see the critic for what it is: misguided. Once we do, we free ourselves from its reign. When we bring our attention to the current moment, and pay greater attention to what's truly happening in our inner world, we see that the inner critic is just a voice, typically one that does not speak the truth. We can see more and more clearly that while we're not perfect—nobody is—we’re much less imperfect than our inner critic proclaims. "

7 " There is always a way to move toward the things that matter in your life and feed your well-being. There’s always sustenance available from the well of resilience inside you, even when it feels most depleted. No matter how dark the time in your life, that well is never as empty as it seems, and you always have the ability to replenish it. "
