Resilience and the Bounce-Back Routine
Routine? There is a bounce-back routine? We were hoping it wouldn’t have to be
a routine. Oh, sure. It’s better than just lying there after you’ve been
knocked over by life, fate, or the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. But
after you bounce-back a couple of times, don’t you get to live happily ever
after?
Well, just in case you tooth fairy is wrong, we’ve provided some steps you can
take to work up the routine.
