Celebrate and Appreciate: Trust
"Endings are times for celebration and appreciation, which lay the foundation for resilience in the days ahead."~p. 289, Elena Aguilar's Onward
"Celebration boosts our resilience, because, in looking back, we select the strands of story that we weave into a narrative of our strength . . . in creating the narrative of who we are, we become more resilient . . . How you tell the story of your life matters."~p. 290
"Appreciation is like a secret sauce. You need only a few drops of it every day--in combination with other key habits and dispositions--to create a rich resilience. That's because our feeling and expressing of appreciation strengthens social connections, deepens our emotional intelligence and self-confidence, and heightens our ability to focus on the the positive."~p. 291
"Expressing gratitude is a mental habit we can develop--we just need practice."~p. 293
"Resilient people trust themselves, and they trust a process."~p. 309
