Fortifying Our Resilience

Today’s Topic:

Resilience is a funny thing in some situations. It does not come out of a bag you can dip into when needed, it is an ongoing practice, a toolbox of sorts. We cannot use all of the same approaches to life’s challenges over and over. Using the same approaches over and over, may lose their effectiveness over time.

What practices do you engage in to restore balance in life, resilience, especially when life gives you more lemons that seem possible to bear? How might we explore the power of ancestral wisdom, art, beauty and rest to create even more forms of resilience for the lives we are leading?
