When people develop and sustain resilience in their lives, they are able to navigate adversity in a more rapid and healthy manner than those without it. Thought patterns and habits can be retrained to improve quality of life by refusing to live in fear of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress. Instead, we become more connected with ourselves and others, more inspired to take healthy action, more authentic, more confident, and see life from a positive perspective. We become the person people seek out in a crisis instead of being the person others avoid at all costs. Take this free introductory class to discover the Value of Resilience!
