Summary of Individual Resilience Factors

In the next couple of posts I'd like to finish off with Barankin & Khanlou's book, Growing up Resilient.

To summarize individual resilience factors:

Temperament                             Ways of thinking
Learning strengths                      Social skills
Feelings & Emotions                    Physical health  
Self-concept

I've looked at each of these factors and tried to find ways to give myself/yourself what we may have missed as children.

Barankin & Khanlou also talk about Family and Community factors.

I will try to look at these briefly, to see if there is anything I/we can arrange for ourselves as adults that we have missed in our formation.  I know for myself, my environment is very important to me.  I am very sensitive physically and emotionally.  How can I create a more caring and nurturing environment for myself?  One in which I can thrive?
