We learn about how improve our motivation, optimism and mindset including:
- the concept of 'stability rocks'
- learning to let go of issues that you can't control

- preparing for unpredictable situations
- the use of 'to do' lists to prioritise & create a sense achievement
- the importance of maintaining (or creating) a daily routine
