Resilience 5

When setbacks occur and life throws you for a loop, maintain your routines as much as possible.  Mundane tasks can have a soothing effect since they offer normalcy.  Cleaning, polishing and sweeping can all be therapeutic because their familiar repetitive motions allow us to relax and even be productive in a good way.

In addition to mundane tasks, you might also choose activities that are gratifying.  Embrace effort and reap the rewards.  Create a healthy meal for yourself, ensure adequate exercise and relaxation time.  Outwardly, you could join a group activity you enjoy or start that project you have been talking about for a long time.  Gratifying activities can energize you and make you stronger in the face of adversity.  Take a proactive approach to wellness by building resilience in a mindful way!
