52 Weeks of Resilience

A One-Year Journal to Bounce Back from Worry and Rediscover Peace

About the Book

Infuse spirituality and peace into your daily life with this beautiful interactive journal that offers a simple way to lower stress and rediscover rest.

Don't worry. It's easy to say these words because we know worrying doesn't accomplish anything, but when we're faced with our own uncertainties, worry is usually our first response. Drawing from biblical promises and wisdom, 52 Weeks of Resilience offers tried-and-true ways to let go of anxiety and live in peace and freedom. As you meditate on Scripture, reflect through journaling, and apply simple challenges to your every day, you will learn to intentionally:
 
  • Choose gratitude and joy over worry without waiting for perfect circumstances
  • Create a habit of prayer so you may find peace in surrendering your fears and worries to God
  • Practice a spirit of thoughtfulness as you shift your instinctual responses from fear and disappointment to resilience and confidence
  • Follow simple, practical action steps as you strive to capture every thought and replace them with truth
    •  
    On your journey toward resilience in the face of stress and life’s trials, you will experience freedom, peace of mind, and true contentment. Because even in times of stress and worry, you can still take control. You don’t have to let it rule your life. Instead, you can learn to thrive.

    52 Weeks of Resilience

    Introduction

    Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. Swedish Proverb

    There’s no upside to worry. We lie awake at night imagining worst-case scenarios. We miss out on opportunities because we’ve become afraid of failure. We turn to coping mechanisms that turn into unhealthy habits that we then start worrying about.

    Over the next fifty-two weeks, this journal will help you move from giving in to uneasiness to leaning on and trusting God. It is divided into four sections, each highlighting a simple practice you can apply to adjust your response to life’s bumps. You’ll learn how being thankful, prayerful, thoughtful, and practical can help you overcome anxious feelings. Each week, you’ll find a Bible verse to read and meditate on, a question to reflect on and journal about, and an action prompt to help you let go of worry. Finally, at the end, you’ll find a twelve-month “Daily Resilience Tracker,” where you can begin the habit of recording one situation you encountered and how you bounced back.

    This year resolve to switch your focus from the looming shadows of your problems to the greatness of the God who loves you. Please note, this book is not intended to replace the advice of a trained psychologist or medical professional.
