Hope

One of the keys to building resilience is hope. Hope is a powerful emotion that helps us stay optimistic and motivated, even in the face of setbacks. Hope allows us to see the possibilities and to focus on what we can do.

Awareness

Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, understand, and manage our own emotions, and relate to others to create good relationships. It helps us stay calm in the face of adversity and respond to challenges in a constructive way.

Action

We need to recognize the areas that we need to change and develop within ourselves to accomplish what we hope to. This is the power of having a growth mindset. Nothing happens without action. We need to harness the power of hope with and combine that with our understanding to create a plan for action.
