Resiliency: “the power or ability to return to original form or position, after being bent, compressed, or stretched; elasticity; the ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like; buoyancy.” Science and medicine tell us that one of the most important factors contributing to a long life span is emotional resiliency. This year, try to bounce back quickly from failure; resolve conflicts sooner, rather than later; forgive, rather than hold resentments; relax and reconsider, before reacting; let go of the “grudge” that is only hurting YOU… Try not to take yourself too seriously—we want you around for a long, long time.
Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
