    This is so on point with our work.
    https://www.vox.com/even-better/23988269/how-to-be-more-resilient-stress-management?ueid=404242780c83798c77e648cb82587d3c (Resilience is invaluable in tough times. Here’s how to build it.)
    Vox is one of my favorite news sources. They operate by donations, so you won't hit a paywall. Worth supporting IMHO. Anyway, here's an excerpt:

    The first step to becoming more resilient is to understand how your brain works. When you’re stressed, your amygdala, the part of your brain that handles fear, is activated, and you have a fight-or-flight response. “When you say to someone, ‘I’m so anxious, I can’t think straight,’ that’s actually your biology,” Marques says. “You can’t think straight because your prefrontal cortex is offline.” Instead of immediately reacting, Marques recommends that you recognize your emotional response to stress and take a pause. “That’s our superpower that we don’t use enough,” she says. ​

    Thanks for sharing,

    I loved this bit

    "“My grandmother would call that being the water, not the rock,” she says. “When change happens, some of us become stuck, like the rock. The opposite is being the water. You flow around the change.”"

    I need to be more water for sure, let things flow.
