00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.248
[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:04.248 --> 00:00:05.264
Hey, everyone.

00:00:05.264 --> 00:00:06.430
Angie Miller here with AFFA.

00:00:06.430 --> 00:00:08.096
And I'm so glad you
joined me this week.

00:00:08.096 --> 00:00:10.330
And remember, last week
we talked about resilience

00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:12.310
and ways to build resilience.

00:00:12.310 --> 00:00:14.920
Because we know that resilience
is all about being adaptable.

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:16.720
And being able to
bounce back no matter

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.130
what comes our way in life.

00:00:18.130 --> 00:00:19.990
So I promised you
three more ways

00:00:19.990 --> 00:00:22.780
that I think help build
resilience and help us

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:25.150
stand strong against adversity.

00:00:25.150 --> 00:00:25.780
Right?

00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:28.720
So the third way that I'm
going to share with you today,

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:30.820
based off of the two that
I gave you last week,

00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:33.680
is to focus on flexibility.

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:36.370
So the more attached
we are to our plans,

00:00:36.370 --> 00:00:39.580
the way that things should
go or they're supposed to go,

00:00:39.580 --> 00:00:42.220
the more stressed
and anxious we become

00:00:42.220 --> 00:00:45.490
when something stands on our way
and doesn't go exactly the way

00:00:45.490 --> 00:00:47.260
that we had planned.

00:00:47.260 --> 00:00:47.824
Right?

00:00:47.824 --> 00:00:49.240
Because, remember
that flexibility

00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.220
and adaptability
build resilience.

00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:53.830
And sometimes we have
to take a different road

00:00:53.830 --> 00:00:55.300
to get to the same place.

00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:57.440
And that is OK.

00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:58.990
It's all about being flexible.

00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:02.680
It's all about
allowing different ways

00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:04.420
of getting to the same place.

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:07.960
So that we don't have to be
consumed by shoulds and things

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:09.550
must go this way.

00:01:09.550 --> 00:01:12.100
So being a little bit more
bendable, a little bit more

00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:13.420
like gumby.

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:17.920
And then the next trait, or the
next way to build resilience

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.980
is to lead a purposeful life.

00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:24.850
People who are resilient have
a strong purpose in life.

00:01:24.850 --> 00:01:28.210
They stay true to their
values and the things that

00:01:28.210 --> 00:01:30.430
are most meaningful to them.

00:01:30.430 --> 00:01:32.390
And they build their
life around it.

00:01:32.390 --> 00:01:35.380
So even when something gets
in the way and life changes

00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:38.710
unexpectedly, they stay
true to their foundation.

00:01:38.710 --> 00:01:41.300
Because they know what is
most important to them.

00:01:41.300 --> 00:01:43.240
So they have a strong
purpose in life.

00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:45.790
These are the types of
people who set goals.

00:01:45.790 --> 00:01:48.730
Set short term goals,
long term goals,

00:01:48.730 --> 00:01:50.680
and they stay true
to those goals.

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.020
Because it keeps them on track.

00:01:53.020 --> 00:01:54.880
So having a strong
purpose in life

00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:57.910
is pivotal to being
able to be resilient.

00:01:57.910 --> 00:01:58.960
And then the third way--

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:01.150
I'm going to throw
you a twofer here--

00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:03.850
is gratitude and laughter.

00:02:03.850 --> 00:02:05.780
We couldn't talk about
building resilience

00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:07.960
if we didn't talk about
gratitude and laughter.

00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:10.870
Laughter is all about not
taking ourselves too seriously,

00:02:10.870 --> 00:02:13.480
taking life too seriously,
and taking other people

00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:14.650
too seriously.

00:02:14.650 --> 00:02:16.720
And then gratitude,
there is that.

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:19.810
Gratitude builds
compassion toward ourselves

00:02:19.810 --> 00:02:22.150
and toward the world around
us and toward the people

00:02:22.150 --> 00:02:23.980
that we care the most about.

00:02:23.980 --> 00:02:26.260
So those are my five
ways to build resilience.

00:02:26.260 --> 00:02:28.030
There are so many other ways.

00:02:28.030 --> 00:02:30.620
These are just five that I
wanted to share with you.

00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:32.750
I really appreciate you

00:02:32.750 --> 00:02:35.950
