What could be more essential – particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic – than learning to cultivate your emotional, psychological and relationship resilience? Resilience is the bedrock of our ability to navigate not only these daunting times, but our lives as well. The path to resilience is found in our relationship with our thoughts. The only thing in life that we can, and should, try to control is our thoughts. In this talk, Mel Schwartz will be shared his techniques for transcending fear and anxiety through a mastery of thinking.
