 	<li>We are all born this way (a child must learn fear).</li>
 	<li>Safety is an illusion; no one gets out alive anyway.</li>
 	<li>Your mom will be so proud of you.</li>
 	<li>The more you do it, the easier it becomes.</li>

I’ve been traveling quite a bit around Southeast Asia and international travel always taxes my emotional resources and truly tests my resiliency, which is ultimately good for building resilience! I wrote the above passage as a reminder to me to be resilient while on this extended journey. There were a few days where I was confronting some serious anxiety and needed to uplift my fearful emotional state. I thought maybe the above passage could help you as well. Be well and safe travels wherever they may lead.
