WiderPath can help.

We can’t stop life from delivering blows but we can learn how to respond to them. Resiliency is the ability to adapt and bounce back from difficult situations. When it comes to stress, developing resilience can be incredibly helpful in managing and mitigating its effects. Resilient people tend to have a positive outlook, a sense of control over their lives, and robust coping mechanisms.

This means that when faced with stressors, they are better equipped to handle them healthily, rather than feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Resilient individuals can also find meaning and purpose in challenging experiences, which can help them maintain a sense of perspective and keep stress from becoming too overwhelming. Ultimately, cultivating resilience is an important tool for managing stress and building a happier, healthier life.
