How do you feel day-to-day and year-to-year? When you stop, look and listen to the world around you, what makes you feel content, safe and secure? You are aware of the extreme challenges facing all of us today and it is your choice in any given moment how you (want to) respond. Today’s world is filled with speed, chaos, fear, uncertainty, violence, natural disasters, and lack of control. Living in a complex, tumultuous world raising constant threats to peace and well-being affect people’s overall stress response, health, relationships and progress.
It is documented that many diseases stem from stress and we need to find ways to create positive change in the world and within ourselves to avoid that.
Do you know what makes you feel safe and secure? If it is based on outer expressions of security or other people’s thoughts or behaviors, then you are counting on external forces rather than internal resources to guide your well-being. Sure, outer accomplishments and kudos are great; however inner resources and strengths keep you happier and more resilient.
What can you do to improve your inner well-being and feel calm and empowered every day and every year?
Here are some Tips to Grow Inner Strength & Resilience:
- Assert Control in areas of your life for yourself that you typically take a back-seat to. Be in the Driver’s Seat in your Own Life!
- Brainstorm or Daydream your talents, strengths, and internal resources that help you cope and feel good and write them down.

Whatever you do, make sure that you take good care of yourself and your loved ones.
