Online: Cultivating Qualities of Emotional Resilience
with Paul Epstein
Saturday, July 22nd, 2023 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
Emotional resilience refers to one’s ability to adapt to stressful situations or crises. We’ll discuss and learn traits of emotional resilience and enhance our coping skills.
Evidence shows that mindfulness increases resilience. More resilient people are able to “roll with the punches” and adapt to adversity without lasting difficulties; less resilient people have a harder time with stress, uncertainty and life changes,
There is no cure for the human condition, yet there is a healing journey and spiritual path that involves cultivating a mindful awareness and freedom to choose how to relate to life and how to respond. There are certain characteristics that resilient people tend to share that can be cultivated and enhanced.
Mindfulness and compassion provide a foundation for building resilience skills integrated with cultivating qualities and traits of resilience. We can prevent the long term negative impact of stress on our health through the cultivation of mindfulness and compassion.
We can move beyond surviving life’s challenges to actively participating in our own deep healing while building resilience for a brighter future, transforming stress, pain, and illness into a journey of self healing and awakening.
