| Let's take five minutes to see this week in a new light. | | | Life has a way of throwing curveballs our way, which can throw a wrench in our day-to-day and even long-term lives. Experts have found that our ability to deal with, and calmly navigate, those unexpected turns can play a major role in our overall wellness and contentment. This is referred to as emotional resilience, and it's a muscle we can work to strengthen over time. | | | Those with a higher degree of emotional resilience can handle the stresses that come with daily life more effectively and calmly." | | People with more emotional resilience reap the rewards in various facets of their life. They have a deeper sense of purpose, can more easily see the positive in situations, are quick to take action, and reach their goals more efficiently.
Emotionally resilient people also tend to have more self-compassion, a robust social support system, and feel more in control of their lives. Research has also shown that people with emotional resilience can manage major crises with greater ease. | | Some factors can influence our emotional resilience, including age, past traumas, and gender. However, even if you're more sensitive to life's upheavals, emotional resilience can be strengthened via effort and practice. Here are some ways you can flex that muscle in your day-to-day life. - Focus on what you can control: A curveball can send us into a panic, but focusing on what we can control allows us to take the steps to bounce back.
- Sing your own praises: Self-confidence and self-compassion plays a key role in our ability to recover from difficult events and circumvent bouts of stress, grief, and anxiety.
- Build a social support system: Prioritize the relationships in your life by nurturing them, allocating time with others, and getting involved in your community. Research tells us that social support is vital to our psychological health.
- Remember that change is inevitable: Change is scary, and we can never know what's in store. Learning how to be more adaptable in small situations equips us with the skillset to handle life's bigger crises.
- Develop problem-solving skills: Whenever a new challenge arises, consider it an opportunity to practice your problem-solving skills. Remain calm and experiment with different problem-solving strategies that can help you navigate the issue at hand.
