“Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.” ― Steve Maraboli- Ways to foster resilience Prioritize relationships. Connecting with empathetic and understanding people can remind you that you're not alone in the midst of difficulties Take care of your body. Self-care is also a legitimate practice for mental health and building resilience. Practice mindfulness. Mindful journaling, yoga, and other spiritual practices like prayer or meditation can also help people build connections and restore hope, which can prime them to deal with situations that require resilience. Avoid negative outlets. It may be tempting to mask your pain with alcohol, drugs, or other substances, but that's like putting a bandage on a deep wound. Move toward your goals. Develop some realistic goals and do something regularly—even if it seems like a small accomplishment—that enables you to move toward the things you want to accomplish.

The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment. -Tony Robbins- Here are some ways to become more committed 1)Take away the choice. When we're only half committed, we keep the door open for other options. 2)Do it with your entire being. Going through the motions doesn't count. 3)Remember your deeper Why. You're probably not taking your commitments seriously because you've forgotten why it's so important. 4)If you aren't fully doing it, ask what's holding you back. Notice if you're not really upholding your commitment, or if you're only going through the motions. 5)Add commitments only slowly. 6)Get out of commitments you aren't going to uphold. Most of us are overcommitted References https://zenhabits.net/commit/
