Practice self-control: While teams of scientists, world leaders and public health officials try to curb the pandemic, it’s easy to feel helpless. Focus on the aspects of your life that are still under your control. https://bit.ly/39M56eV
Learn to accept: It’s easier said than done (and it may sound like defeat) but accepting the things you can’t fix can help you build resilience. https://bit.ly/39M56eV
Focus on overall well-being: "Anything that impacts your health negatively will make it harder to bounce back when all this is over…an important part of resilience is trying to maintain things in a healthy way as best you can."
Laughter is good medicine: The power of laughter isn’t to be underestimated. And even now, as the pandemic persists and many people are struggling, it’s okay to smile. It’s okay to laugh. https://bit.ly/39M56eV
There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution: These strategies to help build resilience may change over time and be different for each person. Some people may clear their mind & relax through meditation while others may ease stress with exercise. https://bit.ly/39M56eV
