It doesn’t mean never losing your temper, it means having time within yourself to pause and take a breath, to feel and respond, instead of react. And it goes hand in hand with resilience. If you can build up your reserves of calm, like putting money away
for a rainy day, then you build up your resilience too. Resilience can mean

If we are able to hold ourselves in that stillness, reach within and practise period self-care, we can be far more available for the rest of our cycle.
