Resilience Isn’t Built in Crisis, It’s Built in the Micro-Moments

We often talk about resilience as something that shows up after a challenge, when we bounce back, push through, or keep going despite the pressure.

But the truth is:
Resilience is built in the tiny moments we rarely pay attention to.

The moment you take one slow breath before replying to an email that triggers you.

The moment you step away from your desk instead of pushing past exhaustion.

The moment you soften your shoulders and let your jaw unclench during a tense meeting.

These micro-moments may seem insignificant, but they’re training your nervous system to return to steadiness more quickly.

Today, see if you can notice one small moment where you choose steadiness over urgency.

Sherri Richards from Good Fat Life shares how her meditation practice became a meaningful turning point in her life.

Through simple, not necessarily easy, consistent moments of stillness, she found more peace, grounding, and alignment with what truly matters. And the pain in her body subsided.

Sherri's story is a beautiful reminder that small daily meditation practices can create powerful shifts. Sherri is now helping others move towards wellness with her quarterly healthy living magazine Good Fat Life.

Lead with Presence

Before responding to a challenge or making a decision, take one slow, intentional breath. This small pause helps you lead from clarity rather than urgency creating space for wiser, more compassionate action.

💡 Bonus tip: Start meetings with 10 seconds of quiet presence. It helps everyone settle, listen fully, and engage with intention.

Allow your vision to grow. When we understand what’s possible, we create the space to reach farther, take meaningful action, and help more people.

Sometimes we need guidance from others to see it.

Minds Deserve Workouts Too!

Mindfulness doesn’t just calm nerves before public speaking, it reshapes the brain in ways that build lasting confidence.

Research shows that regular mindfulness practice strengthens the prefrontal cortex, the area responsible for focus and emotional regulation, while calming the amygdala, the brain’s threat detector. The result? Less reactivity, more grounded presence.

When we train the mind to notice without judgment, we create space between fear and response, and in that space, confidence grows.

Start today with my 5-Minute Mindful Pause on the free meditation app, Insight Timer. https://insig.ht/xYuS3A0zRXb?utm_source=copy_link... If this practice resonates, I'd love for you to follow me for more practices and reflections.

Warm wishes for your well-being,
Brenda Lindsay
