Workbook WEEK 5
Building Resilience, Joy,
and Responsibility

Creating a life worth living regardless of the outcome.

Participant Workbook for Week 5

Creating a life worth living regardless of the outcome.

‍

Purpose of This Week 

This week moves from survival toward intentional living. Participants explore acceptance, gratitude, body-based self-care, companionship, meaning, and practical personal affairs. The goal is to support resilience while encouraging responsible next steps.

‍

 Learning Goals:

• Explain acceptance as seeing reality clearly, not approving of what happened.

• Practice daily gratitude as a resilience tool.

• Notice how distress shows up in the body and choose one gentle self-care practice.

• Identify sources of companionship, meaning, and purpose.

• Begin a personal legacy review of key legal and planning documents.
