Nurturing Resilience

August 24, 2012

Resilience is vital to a healthy lifestyle, so I devoted a whole chapter to it in my recent book: Create a Healthy Lifestyle: Secrets of Health and Happiness.  Resilience will help you to cope with the everyday stresses that you will likely encounter in daily life.  You may have problems in your relationships, family life, or stresses in your job or career goals.  Any daily stress can ruin your day or prevent you from moving forward.  It can also make you feel sad, depressed, or lonely.  There can be a myriad of stressful experiences that may prevent you from moving on, or coping with everyday life.  Resilience can help you  cope with the various stresses in your daily life.

Resilience can also help you to overcome crises in your life.  It is difficult and often impossible for a person to cope, and move on, without resilience.  Therefore resilience will help you to cope with the more serious crises that can occur during the course of your life:  such as separation, divorce, loss of a loved one, job loss, and other very difficult experiences. In other words, resilience helps you to overcome adversity.

So resilience is an important ingredient towards a healthy lifestyle.  Along with enhancing the self and being proactive, resilience fosters individual growth as I explain in the book.  It will help you to cope with the ordinary stresses in life, as well as the crises and unforeseen events.
