What makes you more
resilient?
Emotional support, allowing yourself to feel intense
emotions without fearing or fleeing them, at the
same time being able to recognize when you need
to avoid feeling any emotion, Knowing when not to
run away from problems but to face them and find
solutions, taking time to rest and regain strength
and knowing what you can demand from yourself
and when.

Developing resilience is a matter of cultivating good interpersonal
relationships, using constructive thinking,
acting when it is appropriate, trusting yourself, being
optimistic while remaining realistic
Learning to grow with your problems, using a sense
of humor and; finally starting to change the things you
want to change.

Whoever refuses to first accept reality as it is can
never change it. You can either close your eyes not to
see it, which implies doing nothing or you can become
so angry you end up blaming the world, the fate
or the gods from all religions that you are incapable
of thinking. And if you cannot think, you will not solve
anything.
As we approach the end of this year it is very
important to focus on how our adaptability and
flexibility influenced the experiences of 2016 and
how strengthening this skill will improve the outcomes
of 2017. I urge you to work on being resilient
people during this 2017. If you already are, then
continue to develop it.
Think of resilience as Strength beyond Resistance
and for sure that will contribute to a 2017 full of
success.
