3 Steps to Resiliency in the Face of Adversity

Have you ever felt like giving up? We have. Everyone has.

Sometimes we feel we’re not in the place we want to be in life, or our heart’s been broken, or we didn’t get the job we wanted. And so we start to feel down, frustrated, resentful, or like we’re not enough.

It’s normal to feel this way. It’s human.

But the secret to a better life lies in not staying in that place.

Of course it’s not always easy, right? If it were easy, we’d feel down for 3 seconds then we’d be back up again. And God knows some of us have been with a little gray cloud over our head for days or even weeks at a time.

Destinee Stewart – Shapermint Gal- shares her thoughts about standing up for yourself, being yourself and feeling comfortable in your own skin.
