If you're anything like me at all, you feel like the woman above this text does when the smallest obstacle presents itself.
Okay, I get it. It's life. Believe me..people assure me on a daily basis that "life could always be worse" when I am a midst one of my selfish, life-ending panic attacks. Really, though, no one wants to hear that it could be worse when they feel like they are at rock bottom. Speaking as one of those people who nearly cries when I am cut off on the highway or freaks out when my dog doesn't go #1 & 2 quick enough, I know that it genuinely feels like you are facing the approaching apocalypse during those moments of stress and anxiety.
I came across this article on Huffington Post, highlighting 10 ways that the American Psychological Association has contributed to an individual becoming more resilient. Webster defines resilient as "the ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change" - definitely a quality one needs in order to be mentally sane & sound in today's world. In an effort to decrease my stress and increase my success, I am moving forward in life by following these simple, but life-changing, guidelines.
Remember - truly love yourself first; then you will be able to love others.
I think it's innate for women to be strong. You just need some boost sometimes, specially coming from the people close to you like family, friends and love-ones.
