Batman Begins is one of my favorite movies and contains a powerful statement when young Bruce asks, “Why do we fall?” The reply is simple yet profound. “So we can learn to pick ourselves up.”

Learning to get up and building resilience can deeply improve your daily life.

Resilience increases your character and your ability to cope with stress and pressures; as / when they take place. If you only think about stress when it occurs; you will always feel as if your fighting an uphill battle.

If you take the time to breathe deeply, think, and then implement a possible coping strategies in your life, you greatly reduce your exposure to stress.

This small step can increase your resilience, add depth to your character, reducing stress, improve your health and increase personal effectiveness in your everyday life.
