How Vulnerability Makes Us Stronger
Imagine that you made a mistake at work and decided to own up to it in front of your boss or coworkers. Or that you had a big fight with your partner and chose to be the first to apologize. You just made a decision to be vulnerable.
In the past, the idea of vulnerability was usually associated with weakness. Being vulnerable meant being susceptible to being hurt; showing vulnerability was the same as showing weakness.
In recent years, the word vulnerability has come to be used in a broader context — as in when you choose to share parts of yourself that you might be tempted to keep hidden. If you choose to show vulnerability with another person, that’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a conscious choice.
You can use your emotional energy to worry and be fearful, or you can reserve that energy for the things you can control. #mindovermoment #buildresilience #mindset #mindfulness #emotionalhealth #overcomefear

Resilient people make time for things that fill their bucket because it's impossible to be resilient with an empty one.

If taking time to relax is your intention, then you can relax without feeling like you should be doing something else.

A pandemic is not the ideal time to release a book, but the tools and strategies in #MindOverMoment are needed now more than ever, and they have been my lifeline.
