Cultivating Resilience

In this podcast I share some of my lived experience to help in the understanding of the topic of resilience.

I define resilience here as "Learnings and mental, physical and spiritual fitness, gained from lived experience which helps you adapt, survive and thrive in tough and unexpected situations."

I share 12 tips for cultivating resilience:

1. Recognising and accepting that Change is the only constant. Nature is always changing. We are a part of nature.

2. Practice doing hard things. Put yourself in challenging situations during good times. This builds muscle memory for the tough times.

3. Observe and learn from other resilient people.

4. Remember, the resilience that is in your DNA. It is a miracle you are here. You are the face of your tupuna. You come from resilience.

5. Practice going without.

6. Learn from nature. Observe nature. Mimic nature.

7. Rest and recover during the good times. You will need it in the tough times.

8. Understand your emotions. Focus on positive emotions. Learn to shift stuck negative emotions.

9. Build yourself an inner fortress and sanctuary.

10. Nourish your body with good organic food, movement and stretching

11. Spend time reading, listening to, researching and reflecting on...Ancient Wisdom. The ancients might have known a few things we don't!

12. Bridge the gap between knowledge and doing!
