How To Be Resilient
- Don’t isolate yourself, but connect with others, and nurture your relationships. One can reach out to others, play and have fun by joining online or offline groups, or while going for a morning walk. One need not wait for a pandemic.
- Accept what is happening to you(and others) and allow it to exist, while taking affirmative action towards stuff that is in your control.
- Don’t avoid discomfort, but move towards it occasionally. It’s not always about comfort and convenience.
- Distance yourself from your thoughts by practicing gratitude journaling, or simply writing on paper what is on your mind.
- Find growth opportunities in adverse situations by reframing them as a new challenge, something known as Cognitive Reframing.
