Building Resilience

We all have difficult times...whilst it is tough, it's apart of life.

Times such as when we feel like we aren’t good enough, we’ve failed at something, when others hurt us, or we've experienced loss. These times can be very hard and can bring us down.

Resilience is having the strength and support to get ourselves back up.

A great way to build resilience is to put things into perspective and focus on moving forward from difficult situations.

One suggested activity this week at dinner, is to go around the table and ask everyone to share a challenging situation they have experienced this week. With each situation share ideas of how to move on from that situation in a positive way, for example; look at what lessons can be learned and how they can be applied to future challenges.

Below are seven of my fav top tips I like to discuss with kids to help build their resilience:

FRIENDS & FAMILY
Share your challenges with the people who love you

SELF CARE
If you're feeling down, take time to do things that make you feel good

ASK FOR HELP
Ask someone you love what they think of a challenge you are facing

COMFORT ZONE
Step out of your comfort zone and try something new!

FOCUS ON A GOAL
Set a goal and focus on what you want, instead of the challenges you might be having

WORK TOGETHER
Reach out for help and see if others can help you with your challenges

BE KIND TO YOURSELF
Say nice things to yourself, be your own best friend!

Remember, all of the stregnth is within you, to face the world standing strong!

With kindness
