Mind Over Moment: 6 Tools to Build Resilience, Happiness and Success

The simple act of looking for things to be grateful for attunes our brains to the good. Gratitude is closely linked to our sense of well-being and makes us more resilient in the face of adversity. 

Expressing gratitude reduces toxic emotions, diminishes depression, increases happiness and enriches relationships.

Having friendships and a sense of belonging is considered a core psychological need and has a big impact on our physical health.

Studies show that loneliness is toxic—it’s more harmful to health than obesity, smoking and high blood pressure.

Finding ways to laugh at challenges, stressful situations, and even personal tragedy is one way resilient people cope and grow through misfortune.

Being able to laugh at challenges provides distance and perspective, but does so without denying pain or fear.

Helping others benefits the giver as much as those on the receiving end. 

Caring for others triggers the biology of courage and creates hope.
