When you perceive life from this spiritual
perspective, you view problems, challenges,
or difficulties as opportunities for change.
You flow gracefully through life’s challenges
instead of feeling powerless, overwhelmed,
or stuck. You find the emotional balance in the
midst of distress, let go of your expectations
and “go with the flow.” Open and receptive,
you tap into this divine flow of energy and
trust that whatever is happening in your life
is for your highest and greatest evolution.
Thus, the more you lead a spiritually attuned
life, the more resilient you become.
HERE ARE 3 SACRED
STRATEGIES TO BUILD
YOUR SPIRITUAL RESILIENCE:
Develop a Positive “Miracle” Mindset
Research suggests that resilient people
“bounce back” from negative emotions and
experiences quickly and effectively. In fact,
they use optimism to cope with and find
meaning in difficult or challenging situations.
By developing a positive miracle mindset,
you become more resilient to stress, anxiety
and disease. Most of all, resilient people
sustain a high vibrational energy which
contributes to their physical, emotional, and
spiritual well-being.
“I CAN BE CHANGED

life’s circumstances reduce me.

BE REDUCED BY IT.”

the negative ones. Change the way you
think, and you change the feedback loop that
begins in the brain. Your brain is naturally
resilient; thus, the process of neuroplasticity
gives you the ability to change your “neural
wiring.” Acknowledging your blessings,
growth, and joy rewire your brain and create
new neuropathways that focus on positivity.
Positive thoughts also elevate the vibration
of the cells in your body and program them
for wellness.
Look for something positive everyday even if
some days you have to look harder. Dwelling
on the positive things in your life moves you
toward the tipping point of positivity. Real
experiences of awe, wonder, joy, inspiration,
happiness, gratefulness, contentment, and
connectedness–anything good in your life,

so shifts your mindset toward the good
things in your life, which, in turn, allows for
genuine resilience.

to think about three positive things that
