Rx for Resilience: Cool Cat
As temperatures around the country reach record highs, it is important to stay cool, hydrated and level-headed. Sometimes this weather can bring out the worst in us, and in these dog days of summer, keeping your head and heart centered is key.
Some people might have their “hair of fire,” over-reacting or being unkind in ways you don’t understand. In these situations, give grace. You never know what is causing people to be irritated or temperamental and usually its It’s best to kindly and generously send them the best and see them in the best possible light.
It’s not always easy to be a “cool cat,” but it’s better than being a “hot head”. Drink plenty of water, stay cool as much as you can and enlarge your capacity for understanding, sympathy and grace to all— most of all those who challenge you. Growth comes in surprising ways; cool cats flex, stay calm and even-keeled.
