5 Things Resilient People Do Differently
|
Why is it that some people thrive under a high pressure situation, while other people seem to freeze up?
One reason is that people have differing levels of resiliency. Resiliency is the ability to adapt to environmental or internal stressors and execute in spite of adversity. Researchers have been interested in resiliency for over 50 years, but there has been a significant adjustment to how resiliency has been viewed in just the last decade.
Interested in more information on resiliency and how it relates to First Breath and My Baby & Me? Come to one of our Regional Practice Sessions this fall (more information above)! Resiliency will be one of our training topic focus areas during this half-day event.

Spring Cleaning, for Your Mind
We hope you had an outstanding Memorial Day weekend with friends and family. It sure is great to have a holiday to help mark the unofficial start to the summer season.
Were you able to get all of your Spring cleaning done this year? Does thinking about Spring cleaning and all of the things on your "To-Do" list make you feel a little nervous? If so, this month's journaling exercise from EveryWoman's Journal might be just the ticket to get you feeling back on track and in control of your thoughts and ideas.
