Professional help can be really effective as psychologists may be able to pinpoint the underlying factors in your overall mental state. However, as social beings, there is a huge potential in the network you create with other people, and support from these people can be tremendous. It has an effect on your resilience and it can provide the cushion between yourself and stresses of everyday life. Ensure that you are surrounded with upbeat people, and some of that positivity is surely going to have a good effect on your well-being.
Key Takeaways:
- Modern life creates tsunamis of stress. Resilience is important. Key to that resilience is social support.
- Social support creates a great stress buffer. One way to keep that buffer strong is to join a support group.
- Resilience is bolstered by keeping contact with positive people. It’s also kindled and kept alive by acts of mindfulness and conscious gratitude.
“During a time when stress is unusually high, and we are bombarded by negative news, it is more important than ever to cultivate resilience—our ability to thrive in the face of hardships.”
