You and I understood the authors’ attempt to convince the reader that resilience affects every aspect of our lives. It is great you are already using the skills in your life and finding benefit. Being able to take your inherent resilience skills (relationship) and adding new, learned resilience skills is proof positive that building resilience is worth it. Our thoughts and what we choose to do with them is the difference between being happy or being unhappy; our thinking process is vital for resilience or happiness.

 

I too find it frustrating that the exercises help analyze an event after the fact, but without the practice, “real-time resilience” might be slow.

 

Your desire to implement the concepts the authors are trying to convey show that you have an understanding of the material. It sounds like keeping up the self improvement and helping your children will be well worth the effort and with time and practice, I’m confident you will have some new tools to be able to help both yourself and others.
