FROM CARRIE C. KUBACKI, POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT EXTENSION EDUCATOR, UW-MADISON DIVISION OF EXTENSION
Building resiliency means starting with our own health and well-being first. This includes our physical, mental and emotional health. Caring for ourselves during challenging times means that we will be better equipped to manage daily life in the future. While the strategies below sound simple, it takes daily practice to ensure we are developing long-term wellness.
Life can feel like an overwhelming barrage of waves taking us further out to sea and away from our own health and well-being. Accepting that the tides will change and climbing into our lifeboat of resiliency can help us ride with the waves instead of battling against them. By creating an awareness of our own wellness needs, we can accept the challenge of strengthening our own health and resilience.
