Do you know who you really are? What you value? What and who makes you the happiest? What your purpose is in this life?
The Resilience Journey is an engaging, interactive app that takes you on an enlightening journey that will open your eyes to your life’s purpose while teaching you about the five core components of resilience.
Resilience is so important because resilient people lead more authentic, fulfilling, balanced lives. Resilient people aren’t easily knocked off course. They know their purpose, they achieve their dreams and goals, and they follow their hearts. Resilient people also experience less stress, less depression, and better physical and emotional health.
The Resilience Journey begins with The Resilience Scale, a clinically-validated, 25-question assessment that is the best known tool available for measuring resilience. Once you have your resilience score and understand your current level of resilience, you will be lead through five chapters that help build your resilience. The chapters are:
- I was born to do this (on living a purposeful life)
- I have all the tools I need (on becoming self reliant)
- I will never give up (on perseverance)
- I take life in stride (on equanimity)
- I know my true north (on existential aloneness)
You will be lead through more than two hours of learning material and will complete more than 40 interactive exercises throughout the app that help you deepen your understanding of your own resilience and how to build and maintain that resilience, and why it is so important to living a vital and authentic life.
