Episode Synopsis

Well, hello there, my beautiful soul. In today's episode, I will teach you how to build emotional resilience but before I dive deeper, let me give you a simple definition of what it means. Emotional resilience is the ability to adapt to stressful situations and cope with life's ups and downs. Resilience does not eliminate stress or erases life's difficulties but allows you to tackle or accept problems and live through adversity. Resilience is also about accepting what is, letting go of resistance to what's happening, and then dealing with it as it is not as we wish it would be. From my personal experience, more resistance creates more suffering. Yes or yes? Now, let's move to an exciting part of this episode, and that's how to build emotional resilience in three simple ways. What I want to share with you today is what's been working for me and how I understand and practice this powerful skill. Way #1 is to remind yourself to surrender. How much suffering do we bring on ourselves just by wishing for things to be better or for people to act differently? You will find power and control when you choose to look in the mirror, not outside of it. Way #2 is to learn to sit in discomfort. I teach you to bet on yourself. To bet on your inner strength and your resources you have within. Sitting in discomfort is one of those resources. Way #3 is to ask yourself one simple question: "Who do I want to be or how do I want to act in the time of adversity?"
