Can AI Help You Build Resilience?
The good news is that resilience isn’t a personality trait – it’s a skill that can be developed, and with the help of AI, you can cultivate it more effectively than ever.
Stressed with change and uncertainty? Do this.
Uncertainty often leads to anxiety because the brain tends to fill in the gaps with worst-case scenarios. This can create a constant state of worry as the brain prepares for every possible negative outcome.
Social Comparison: Friend or Foe?
Social comparison is a natural part of human behavior. Remember, your journey is unique, and your worth is not determined by how you measure up to others. Focus on your personal growth, set meaningful goals, celebrate successes, and use social comparison as inspiration, not validation.
How do you choose to see the world?
I’m not suggesting you wear rose-colored glasses, pretending the tough stuff doesn’t exist, but I am suggesting building a habit of realistic optimism. Realistic optimism is a mindset that combines a positive outlook with a grounded understanding of reality. It involves maintaining hope and confidence while acknowledging and accepting the challenges and uncertainties of life. Rather than denying or minimizing difficulties, realistic optimists approach situations with resilience, flexibility, and a belief in their ability to navigate obstacles effectively.
How to Be Less Judgmental
When we are always passing judgment on ourselves and others, this constant state of criticism can negatively impact our mental wellbeing, driving self-comparison, harming our relationships with others, fueling anxiety, and worsening depression. But when we work to edit these thoughts and overcome our brain’s negativity bias, we build new neural pathways and train our brain to overcome these intrusive thoughts.
