This was a busy weekend. Saturday, I worked on my upcoming keynote in August for the American Association of Nurse Anesthesia Annual Conference on Resiliency, and on Sunday, I was a speaker at the “Living Well with Advanced Prostate Cancer” town hall meeting held by Patient Empowerment Network at MD Anderson. Yesterday, as the town hall progressed, and men at various stages of prostate cancer ask questions, shared their stories and fears, the importance of resiliency practices in living high quality lives with cancer, became obvious. Resilience is not just the ability to bounce back from life challenges, but a state of mind built upon our passions and presence in life. We recharge our resiliency batteries through daily practices of optimism, positivism, self-belief, and turning our daily tasks into mindful moments, which leads to whole person living.
