More on Resilience

"The changes we see aren't just changes during the meditation state itself, but they're changes that persist beyond the meditation state." Richard Davidson, neuroscientist

Here it is again:  the recommendation to meditate in order to handle the stresses of life. In this study, the Dalai Lama gave permission for Davidson to conduct research on Tibetan Buddhist monks to see how meditation changes the structure and function of the brain.  He found the consistent practice of meditation changes how the brain looks as well as how it operates.  Meditation helps the brain recover from stress.  These positive changes remain during times a person is not meditating.

Facing what scares you in life is one way to become more resilient and better handle stress.  Learning new things as often as you can and finding an exercise regimen you will stick to are the last of the 10 tips on how to be more resilient and recover from stress.
