Grief is a powerful emotion and is experienced in many different ways for different people. And right now, many of us are dealing with loss: loss of loved ones due to coronavirus, loss of jobs, loss of weddings and other big events, loss of our "normal" way of life.

Here to talk about grief in all of its forms, especially at this incredibly heavy time in our history, is author, speaker & grief expert Claire Bidwell Smith.

Amongst all the unrest and trauma in our world lately, we're taking this week to revisit an important episode from late last year on resilience and well being.

Be mindful. Fake it until you make it. Focus on the positive.

We hear so many phrases and instructions on how to be resilient and have a positive outlook on life, but according to Dr. Rick Hanson, it all comes down to neuroscience. He explains how neurons that fire together, wire together, and he lays out practical steps you can take to definitively develop inner calm, self-worth, and emotional intelligence. 

By taking 5-10 minutes a day to sit with your positive and negative thoughts and turn them into feelings, you’ll build up strength over time that you can draw on in times of need. This practice works for both adults and children. 

Dr. Hanson encourages people to sit with their emotions after something positive happens to make sure they permanently store those feelings of accomplishment in the brain. When you have a negative experience, he recommends a three-step process.
