Over View Of The Week

There are times when life seems easy and everything is working out just as desired. During these times, stress-ridden thoughts such as “How will I get through this?” or “What happens when….?” rarely enter our awareness and front-of-mind thinking.

Feelings of hopelessness and exhaustion can act as lightbulbs. If, in the midst of difficulty and hardship, you can recognize these feelings and turn them into reminders to:

c) Ask yourself what three things you can do to improve your circumstances and then start to do them you will begin to strengthen your resilience muscle..
