Break with Norms

Being out of pattern touches resilience.
Resilience is not a trait. It is a muscle. And like any muscle, it builds through use. Specifically, through your ability to deviate consciously from what you know, how you usually act or speak.

Walk a different way to the train.
Mix up your morning routine.
Say less, listen more.
Drive new roads to the same destination.
Hold a meeting in a different format.
Make the soup with alternative spices.
Vacation in a different country.
Talk to the person you usually pass by on the street or at the shop.
Stay in the heat of the conversation versus abdicating.
Give away space rather than take it.
Move your home more often.

Resilience is the muscle that change builds. Stability resides in your ability to roll with its forces. Over time, resiliency's reserves meet you with grace when most needed.
