A Life of Happiness:<br />
Building Resilience<br />
I smile at the realisation that<br />
nothing stays the same nor lasts<br />
forever. But what made people<br />
change into what we are now? How<br />
do they absorb the changes in their<br />
culture they knew <strong>and</strong> loved? How<br />
do they accept that their world will<br />
be forever changed? With those<br />
constant changes, how do people<br />
pursue happiness?<br />
The answer is resilience: being<br />
able to recover quickly from life’s<br />
adversities.<br />
As we watch our environment,<br />
cultures <strong>and</strong> lifestyles change, we<br />
need to keep in mind that we need<br />
to take care of our mental health.<br />
Building our resilience requires the<br />
acknowledgement of reality. To go<br />
outside our comfort zones, the first<br />
step is to accept the fact that there<br />
are regions where discomfort exists,<br />
<strong>and</strong> we must face them. By building<br />
a resilient mind, we guarantee a life<br />
well-lived with happiness, gratitude<br />
<strong>and</strong> contentment.<br />
DEEP CONVERSATIONS<br />
First, it is important to have<br />
conversations with yourself <strong>and</strong> with<br />
other people looking for their own<br />
happiness. Sharing your insights<br />
<strong>and</strong> experiences may help build<br />
your resilience <strong>and</strong> may lighten<br />
your emotional burden. Opening<br />
up to other people with a positive<br />
outlook in life is a great help for<br />
you to identify your weaknesses<br />
<strong>and</strong> strengths. You must speak to<br />
yourself <strong>and</strong> put a mindset that<br />
you’re more than the sum of your<br />
parts. Your weaknesses become<br />
your strengths the moment you<br />
recognise them.<br />
Having deep conversations will<br />
allow you to learn more about<br />
growth, development <strong>and</strong> selfawareness.<br />
EXERCISE<br />
Second, having a healthy body<br />
is another key to have a stable<br />
<strong>and</strong> positive mindset. When you<br />
exercise, your body releases<br />
endorphins that gives you a positive<br />
feeling.<br />
Facing our daily challenges <strong>and</strong> life<br />
hardships requires strong physical<br />
<strong>and</strong> mental health. Together with<br />
a balanced diet, exercise can<br />
improve your problem-solving skills<br />
<strong>and</strong> helps you to concentrate more.<br />
