COT: On Sunday, YHC witnessed his 11-yo gymnast compete in a meet in which she did not medal, and (again) was the only gymnast on her team not to medal. Needless to say she was devastated. This scenario has played out multiple times this year and last. And yet his 11-yr old picks herself up and gets back to work. She is building resilience. YHC is building resilience and believes this is a life-long process. YHC shared 5 pillars of resilience (self awareness, mindfulness, self care, positive relationships, & purpose) and pointed to F3 as a means of building resilience. YHC thanked the HIMs for showing up in the rain and gloom in an effort to become better men to face the challenges that life throws their way. Well done, men!

More from resilience post:
✔Self Awareness is having a clear perception of who you are. ✔Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present.
✔ Self care is our ability to function effectively in the world while meeting the multiple challenges of daily life with a sense of energy, vitality, and confidence.
✔Positive Relationships are the bonds we have with others, creating a happier and more fulfilled, supported, supportive, and connected life.
✔Purpose is a recognition that we belong to and serve something bigger than ourselves. Our purpose helps to shape the mindset and attitude we have toward others and the events we experience.
