5 TIPS TO BUILD RESILIENCE

The past few weeks helped me realize that I am mentally better equipped to deal with certain events in comparison to my younger self. 

So, I was inspired to write a few tips on how to become mentally strong:

1. Heal your inner child : The bottom line is to give up any victim mentality, take charge of your life as an adult and do what is best for you instead of looking up to your near & dear ones to solve your problems or offer emotional support. Be your own support! Be your own parent!

2. Stop the blame game: We humans seek comfort in being angry & blaming people, society and government. What can you do to change your situation? How about directing all that passion to develop yourself?

3. Prioritize yourself: Yes and that’s not selfish! Unless you are top on your list, neither will your family nor society benefit from you. The most primitive example could be something like you starve and feed the rest. How do you feel when you visualize this?

4. Practice Gratitude: Yes, every….single….day! Write 10 points before going to sleep. I used to write 20 every day until it became my default setting to change perspective and derive meaning from negative & painful life situations. Remember in your everyday life it is not the worry of finding food & shelter that keeps you down, it is the perspective with which you view your life & its events.

5. Forgive yourself: We all make mistakes and that’s the only way to learn; so own up your mistake, chin up and move on! 

That’s all for now. I wish you a good weekend!

Remember; you are unique & special because the creator chose to create you 🙂

Much Love,
