Today we're exploring who building resilience can help us feel more confident in our ability to cope with whatever life throws at us.

HOW DOES RESILIENCE DIFFER FROM PERSEVERANCE?

We reference Monty Python and Brene Brown as we discuss how much we need resilience in order to persevere but why relying on our resilience might not always be the best policy. 

WHY IS RESILIENCE IMPORTANT TO THE GOOD FAIL?

It may be a cornerstone of doing the good fail but we haven’t really acknowledged its importance until now and we go on to talk about how impossible it would be to keep going through the hard times without it. 

HOW CAN WE BE MORE RESILIENT? 

The good news is resilience can definitely be cultivated and we run through what steps we should take to build that resilience. But in a funny way it has more to do with letting down then building up. 

WHAT CAN WE CONCLUDE FROM ALL THIS? 

Resilience might just be our unsung hero and we’ll let you know why. 

WHAT’S OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS WEEK? 

Breathe Magazine

Issue 27 had a great article about resilience in it which gave us inspiration for this episode and is an all round brilliant slow living mag.
