The Resilience Project

I know I’m late to the party with this but wow! What a great read.

I started this book and could not put it down. The author was able to weave his own personal stories of discovering resilience with research. And no it wasn’t dry reading about research either.

This field of study is a passion and absolute rabbit hole for me. Hugh was able to affirm my own personal beliefs around resilience. We can all achieve so much by just stopping and appreciating what is around us or by what we have.

I loved his stories of all the different people he met. People who without realising it taught the author what gratitude really is. From working with kids to working with troubled teenagers to mega footy stars in various football codes.

I realised that our family has been practicing daily gratitude for nearly 10 years now. This was a key feature within his book. Practicing daily gratitude. We do this as a family around our evening meal. It was why I started Grateful Wonder. It is what helps with my stressors and mental health and I know it has positively impacted on my families ability to always get back on that horse.

I issue you all with a challenge, what are you grateful for today? Message me, leave comments in my socials. What are you grateful for each day. It doesn’t have to be big or fancy. It can be small, like loving the smell of a coffee first thing in the morning. I would love to know what you are grateful for each day.
