What is the Path to Resilience (A.N.D.™)?

The path to resilience is not about "trying harder" in the conventional sense of the word.  Resilience involves moving with the flow of life rather than against it - navigating the currents so that we can steady ourselves, achieve our goals, and help others.  On this this path we give ourselves permission to be human—to be imperfect and have difficult emotions, and we also empower ourselves with skills to become the best version of ourselves.

The path to resilience teaches simple, engaging and practical applications of research-based mindfulness, self-compassion, emotional intelligence and positive neuroplasticity training.  Through the integration of science, metaphor, story, and experiential practice, participants learn to relate skillfully to difficult experiences and also intentionally create positive strategies for long-term resilience and well-being

An integral part of this path is the practice of A.N.D. (Allow, Nurture, and Discover™). 

• Through AND, we increase our Awareness of the thoughts, feelings and body sensations that we experience.  Resisting our present moment creates stress and struggle, whereas accepting and allowing paves the way for wise action. 
• The "N" stands for Nurturing a healthy mind.  Healthy mind skills include both cultivating compassion for our difficulties, and also growing mindfulness, gratitude, and inner strengths. 
• Whereas resisting negative emotions increases anxiety and narrows our perceptual focus, responding with compassion while simultaneously growing the good paves the path for Discovering new opportunities for health and happiness.

The path of less resistance is a more useful and effective approach to well-being than what most of us were taught in childhood. Following this path leads more fulfillment, peace, happiness, abundance, better relationships, and an increased capacity to share well-being with others.
