How often do we say “I’m fine” when we are anything but? We learn rules about how we’re supposed to show up, shaped by our upbringing, workplaces, communities, and cultural norms. We stay professional, project optimism we don’t feel, and keep going, even when the world around us, or the world inside us, feels like a lot.
Why do we keep saying we are fine when we are not? What message did we absorb about how we are supposed to show up in the world, especially when we are not fine? What could we learn from the Buddha about a different way to respond to discomfort of not being fine? What are some practical ways of building resilience muscles that can help us shift from knee-jerk reactions to intentional responses in the face of stress and anxiety?
In this Wellinar recording, Julee Everett from Opal Coaching guides an exploration of how stress shows up in our bodies and minds, why we don’t have to “perform” to be resilient, and how to tap into the Ordinary Magic of Resilience we already possess.
