GOOD GRIEF: Muscles of the Soul Worksheet

Take a few moments, when you are ready, to record how you exercised these muscles during a stressful event. You can also use this exercise in a proactive manner by brainstorming how you might develop or strengthen your muscles of the soul to provide a tool kit from which to draw when dealing with stress or to help others deal with stress. A good exercise for building resilience.
