These are some free resources that I have not done a deep vetting of these so I can’t recommend them without any hesitation. Still, I thought you may want to check them out. If nothing else, they may inspire you to do a search and help you find something new. Take care and be well.
Resilience: meditations, thoughts from teachers such as Pemo Chodron and Eckhart Tolle
Quick and dirty recipe for resilience
focus on the present, then refocus because most of us focus on the future
focus on what you can control
invest in your relationships
accept things are different, and accept your feelings about it
invest in yourself (take care of body, mind, spirit, emotions)
invest in your community (volunteer, check in with neighbors…these things can be done in person or via phone or online)
what are your values? How can you bring them into play in this situation?
let your creativity flow…new times call for new solutions
practice self-compassion, we are all doing the best we can at any given time
practice gratitude
practice kindness
