Resilience

Resilience is not about removing or changing the things we struggle with. It is about accepting what is with compassion, and then equipping and resourcing ourselves with what we need. As we Build The New, naturally things begin to shift and heal.

It is like going to the gym and realizing that a certain muscle group has been over activated, working really hard to keep things moving and functioning to compensate for an imbalance. To correct this, we don’t just cut the over active muscles out, or turn them off. We cultivate safety by working with the weaker, shut down muscle groups to strengthen them, activate them and bring them back online, so we can restore balance and peace, and give those over-worked muscles a break. And we move forward with intentionality; knowing the patterns of over activation and shut down, we can mindfully invite new ways of engagement.
