Resilience is all about finding your strengths and using them as power to move you forward. You can use power and confidence to build resilience.

We get a little confused by personal power and confidence. We think they're emotions. And neither of them are things you're born with.

Action always precedes power and confidence. That's where you build the courage to put yourself out there.

Learn how that can play out in your own life by listening to the fourth episode in my series on resilience.

 You know you can't always get what you want, the Rolling Stones told you that. But when when entitlement sets in, it's easy to focus on what you're not getting.

Maybe you don't think entitlement is a problem for you. That's for celebrities or younger people, you might think.

I used to think that, too. But when I looked over some of my more stressful times, I realized that one common theme was always in play: Why can't I get what I deserve?

If you are focused more on how to get what you deserve, instead of how you're moving forward, you might be swimming in some entitlement waters.

Feeling entitled can take away your ability to stay resilient to stress because it removes your power to change your situation. Learn a few ways to get yourself out of those choppy waters.

 A trip to the beach earlier this week had me thinking about opportunity and childlike wonder. If you're a kid, there's not much else to do at the beach besides dig in the sand. It's where you can create whatever you want, or just see how far you can dig. 

How do we rediscover some of that same curiosity in pursuing what we want?

This episode is where architecture, physics and mental health come together.

 Worry always seems to be with us. I hear from people every day who ask me how they can simply worry less. There's no magic technique, I'm afraid.

Worry is a hard habit to break, and you might wish you could just let go of it like a red balloon at the fair.

But part of working to figure out what to let go of is to know what healthy things can replace your worry.

I have a little exercise here that might help you. It includes a Worry Less Action Plan downloadable exercise you can work through over the next few days. 

This episode will take you through the exercise.
