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 />
