Living Well at St Giles

“Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:
the Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue,
fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.
The Lord is all I have, and so I put my hope in Him.”
Lamentations 3:21-24

Ten Keys to enhance emotional resilience and lead to happier living

These Ten Keys are underpinned by research drawn particularly from psychology but also from medicine, neuroscience and sociology. They are not a prescription or a formula, but they do provide some help and direction to develop and enhance our emotional resilience.

The first five keys (Giving, Relating, Exercising, Awareness and Trying Out are all action based and incorporate the Five Ways to Well-being.

The second set of keys (Direction, Resilience, Emotions, Acceptance and Meaning) relate to our internal processes, our attitudes, values and drive.
