RE: The need for resilience in being present minded

in #philosophy7 years ago

Great post! I think resilience also comes from a bit of being future minded. For example, you can mentally prepare for how you're going to react to potential responses if you pre-think it (for example if you are going to do a presentation or propose something outside the norm).

Thank you for commenting @drstoker, and you are absolutely right, mental preparation for possible outcomes can make us more resilient. What I am trying to figure out a system for is to cultivate a mental habit of resiliency through the practice of mindfulness. Just like athletes have muscle memory, I think we can cultivate mindfulness at an instinctual level...if that makes sense?
