He defines a resilient individual as someone who can consciously limit these distractions and instead sit with uncomfortable emotions, bodily sensations, and thoughts.

So physiological resilience is really important. We, especially now with the technology we have, we have a lot of distractions. Porn is really easily available. Netflix, YouTube, and Instagram. Drugs and alcohol are really easily available. People can go to the gym and work out extra amounts of time. They can go to work and work even longer. We have the— we have a lot of access to distractions in our world. For me, a resilient person is someone who can limit those distractions. On occasion, I can understand why you want to be distracted, but limit those distractions and sit with your emotions. Sit with the sensations of your body, sit with the energetics of your body, the thoughts that cross your mind. And when they arise, if they make you uncomfortable, okay, that's okay. It's okay to be uncomfortable. You don't have to just seek distraction. The longer you can sit in that space, the more resilient you are. And it's important.

So we don't— that's the negative consequences of not sitting with those and processing them, digesting them.
