Explore what it means to be resilient and discover the importance of positive coping mechanisms to thrive through change, crisis, and life's unexpected curveballs.

Key Takeaways:
Resilience is about managing well during tough times and being able to access coping mechanisms to function and get through the situation more easily.
Coping mechanisms can be both positive and negative, and it's important to focus on positive coping mechanisms that help unravel complex thoughts and manage daily life.
Choice plays a role in resilience, but even when we choose change, there can still be challenges and losses that we have to manage.
Resilience requires self-awareness and self-honesty to untangle and address limiting beliefs and emotions.
Forgiving oneself can be just as difficult as forgiving others, but it is an important part of the resilience process.
Habits and routines can support resilience, but it's important to leave room for adaptability and flexibility to enhance the ability to navigate change and crisis.
