“When faced with challenges in life, people often experience feelings of fear or frustration, which can cause a lack of motivation or stress. Yet, by moving through these situations and not allowing certain moments to determine your future, you can begin to build resilience.
Having resilience means coping with problems as they arise, and positive thinking can significantly help during these life issues, according to Skills you Need. A 2009 study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that positive emotions buffer resilient people from depression and fuel their flourishing in the aftermath of crises.
Why not try it for yourself? Next time you are in a challenging situation, try to see how you can overcome the problem rather than give up. Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel or the silver lining? Then remember how you felt after this situation and carry this with you through life as a way of coping with stressful situations.”
