In so incredibly stressful life as most women’s you have to strengthen
resilience in order to overcome stress
eating.
There several inner resources that help you strengthen resilience.
These
include:
Compassion:
You hold the intention not to judge yourself or others. You are mindful of your self-talk. However, if you do judge yourself, you don't judge yourself for judging. You are kinder and more supportive. If mindfulness brings the wisdom to see clearly, then compassion brings a loving heart.

Acceptance:
You increasingly accept the facts, which you can distinguish from the feelings. Acceptance isn't about "giving up". It is having the strength to "let go" of control" and stop fighting reality.

Openness:
You're progressively open to viewing even the most difficult situations as opportunities for growth. You trust that they have something to teach you, and you expect to learn.

Creativity:
You draw on your power to visualize and create the results you desire. At the same time, in the spirit of acceptance, you are not attached or fixated upon your own expectations.

Living
resiliently is more than just "bouncing back". It is about shifting
our perceptions, changing our responses, and learning something new.
For
example, a resilient response to losing our job might re-contextualize and
reframe the situation in any of the following ways:
- "I'm going to breathe deeply and take things one step at a time."
- "I may not like it, but this is the way it is. My first step will be to file for unemployment."
- "I'm not going to play 'the blame game'. It's not my boss' fault or mine."
- "I'm sure that there's a lesson or two for me to learn from all this."
- "It would be easy to get 'just another job'. I'm going to find one that I'm truly passionate about."
Living resiliently represents a whole new way of being and doing. In this way, resilience isn't just for the hard times...it's for all times. Empowering us to live, love, and work adventurously in the face of change, it builds a well from which we can draw for the rest of our lives.
