Taking steps to support our health physically, mentally and emotionally is a principle of self-reliance. When I am speaking of being self-reliant, I am not referring to a mindset where one can achieve anything…if they simply set their mind to it. ๐ปOur mind is very powerful, but the self-reliance that I have found to be the most beneficial for me, is founded in this quote by W. Christopher Waddell,
“Being temporally prepared and self-reliant means โbelieving that through the grace, or enabling power, of Jesus Christ and our own effort, we are able to obtain all the spiritual and temporal necessities of life we require for ourselves and our families.โ
This page is simply a resource of practices, tools and developed skills that I have used to empower me in caring for, and building my own emotional resilience. Perhaps something here maybe a support for you.
