I had just finished reading another book. Unlike the one that describes the art of war, this one is teaching how to overcome boundaries by learning how to use negative experiences as a reason to continue to seek a positive future. This book was recommended to me by my therapist (thank you Rachael)😊 and I had made promise to a friend of mine that I would finish it so I can talk about it 💕💞 The whole book is very big and was not easy to read in a quick amount of time but it mostly deals with four different types of resilience that can help a person overcome their boundaries: The first one is called relational resilience. It's about learning how to overcome the negative boundaries in order to make the bonds in your relationship with your family and your loved ones stronger. Some examples to help make a strong relationship is to engage emotionally, never take friendship for granted, putting down phones when you are out on dates or out on a family activity, and connecting with something that is bigger than yourself. The other one is called Street resilience. Street resilience is channeling your emotions by guiding them, directing them, and using them for a productive purpose, instead of letting your emotions use you. Such examples of these are: channeling your pain into a good cause, reframe your limitations with potential strengths, focus on what you're doing right, and looking fear into the eye. Third type of resilience is called resource resilience. This type of resilience tabs into the abilities that you have at your disposal in order to get through the special situation in your life. Some of the more detailed examples of resource Brazilians are cultivating a worthy mindset, fight resignation with spontaneity, get some production therapy, and not accepting no. The 4th and final and perhaps the most important type of resilience is called Rock bottom resilience. This is the type of resilience when all hope seems to be lost on whatever situation is going on with your life. Some important factors to make sure that when you are at the lowest part of your life is to remember to: radically accept your circumstance, don't make things worse, go for a small win, tear off labels, discover the power of future promise, and forgiveness because it is the only option. This post would be the size of another book if I would go into even more detail of each of the four types of resilience. Which is why I will go into much further detail with my future posts now that I feel like I have an actual purpose to start posting again because I feel that there are people who could use some support and encouragement. Also, since I enjoyed this book so much I will definitely read it again so that I can continue to allow more positivity in my life.

Wow, a wonderful book and your explanation is very wonderful, my dear friend, I think we all need these four skills. I loved the book. It will definitely help you a lot to overcome the past. I am very happy with your publication.And I hope you always write to us in detail about each type. Thank you very much
Hey Lavi. It has been a while since we've spoken. I had just recently moved out of the home I was living in for several years. I was scared but also excited because I was not happy where I was living and I just drove away. I was not able to find a permanent place but I was able to reserve a temporary place for a month. It is very far away from where I lived. Also I will admit that it is very depressing out here because it is a gigantic desert. I feel like I just want to go back but I have no place to go. My job is still going good. That is the reason why I still love to work at it because I can take my job anywhere where I want to live and as long as I have a stable internet connection. I will say that I could have possibly picked some better places but I will see how I will be able to handle this month because I'm thinking that if I like this place, I would stay longer because it is very affordable. I hope that you are doing well for yourself and your family.
Thank you for telling me. I was really worried about you. I did not receive any messages from you in the last period. I am happy that you moved to a new house. For me, I was in not good conditions and affected my health. Now I am fine and I continue to exercise daily. It is good to know that you are still enjoying your new job. stay well my friend
So I am doing just fine. The place I live in for now is very small but at least it is my own private location. I am sad to hear that you had your health affected in a bad way but I am glad to hear that you are doing better. I will admit that part of me wishes that I am in a better location but then again I am thankful that I have found a place where I can just rest until I can find a suitable place. My health is not doing too well. The problem is that going to the gym makes me feel worse than better. It used to be the other way where I feel like I am improving. The pain in both my feet is making it hard for me to stay active. The only thing that I am able to do that is not making me feel worse is my industrial dancing. I would actually practice my dancing while I am doing my job.
