7 ways to make a comeback to resilience after a stressful time

Keeping things in perspective is an important way to boost stress resilience.

As we many a time feel utterly out of energy, physically and emotionally exhausted, crying inside, and unable to sleep enough while doing nothing, nothing makes us happy — battling in silence!

Such is the time when we need to stop living life with the same pattern every day and to start taking care of ourselves by not feeling guilty or pressured over not doing what we are supposed to do!

Here are seven ways to make a comeback to resilience after a stressful time, and how it works.

Give pause: The mental break; rest from everything is sometimes well needed to take a deep breath, find ourselves and reflect; many solutions and effortless truth bombs come during moments of reflection, sometimes just by being calm and quiet.

Acknowledge: Welcome every new lesson, even if you have learned it in the most challenging way. And be open for more. The human journey is designed for fighting and surviving; our daily life gives examples.

Accept: Some things cannot be changed and handled; it is not easy, but be warrior enough to go through it; getting back on your feet by acceptance. I believe one of the best ways to overcome a long unpleasant chain of events is to stop expecting and start accepting, as you deserve the peace.

Communicate: Having a safe place to communicate our needs and listening to others intensely is the ultimate goal, if only people understood this before committing. Communication is the fixer and the very best approach when it comes to relationships.

Forgive yourself and the other twice: This perspective sets us free and allows us to leave to a different area of life. Every forgiveness is the beginning of a new chapter, people and story. Ironically, forgiving is a form of self-love.

Place resilience: I have found relief after realizing the power of flexibility. However, some people can hardly implement any flexibility due to old programmed patterns, having been raised in an unyielding environment.

Make use of one or more love languages to express your love and gratitude: That is precisely what is not on the market; being able to truly understand the types of love — words of affirmation, active service, gifts, touch, quality time — makes life easier and more tolerable.

Life outside the relationship matters; how do you get over things when you have a tough time? I hope these tips work out for all the beautiful souls.
