Resilience means being able to face and overcome challenges that come up without getting distracted or giving up on your goal. It means being able to stay calm inside, even when things are difficult or challenging. It means being able to enjoy success and failure, but not letting them distract or discourage you.

Have you ever felt like giving up but found the strength to carry on? That’s resilience

Some people believe that you become resilient by going through tough times in life. But the truth is, just like most other abilities of the mind, resilience can be intentionally nurtured and grown.

Meditation is an effective method to achieve this.

But how?

Here’s 3 ways meditation helps you be more resilient:

  1. By committing to a regular practice you are strengthening your resilience muscle. When you really can’t be bothered to practice or you make every excuse under the sun not to but still show up. That’s resilience.

2. Every time you feel yourself getting distracted in meditation and you guide your focus back to the breath or the present moment, you’re strengthening your resilience.

3. By practicing in your sessions, you’ll soon see resilience spill out into all other areas of your life, you’ll start to feel stronger in your resilience and notice small positive changes happening in your life.
