Resilience, or the ability to bounce back from adversity, is a crucial attribute to happiness and job success. This month’s benefits blog explores the value of resilience, details a high-leverage strategy to build resilience, and highlights Snowflake’s resources to help you to deal more effectively with stress management.
While resilience won’t get rid of stress or life difficulties, it enables us to cope with stress in healthy ways and tackle challenges head-on. Even in the face of adversity, resilience gives us the strength needed to process and overcome hardship rather than becoming overwhelmed by it. Ultimately, resilience enables us to positively build our lives on the momentum generated by healthy choices.
Resilience Through Rest: One way to cultivate resilience is by practicing healthy habits – get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, meditate, and exercise. Through our partnership with Lyra, you can take a moment for yourself every day to practice one of these mental health tips when you’re feeling too overwhelmed to take a break.
Also, nourish your body by taking advantage of all of the discounts on Meal Delivery services provided through PerkSpot.
Resilience Through Realness: You can build resilience by being real. Embrace the messiness of your life. Nurture close relationships and express your feelings authentically. Understand that it’s ok to feel down once in a while.
Snowflake will support you with our mental health vendor Lyra. Lyra offers personalized options for care online or in-person, 24/7. If you have children, be sure to review Lyra’s Parenting In the Real World Toolkit!
Realness Through Responsibility: Remember that you’re in control of how you respond to external stressors. Be true to your values and hold tightly to your moral compass.
On February 17th from 11 am -12 pm PT, Lyra is hosting a workshop titled “Strategies for Building Resilience” to jumpstart your path towards resilience. It will guide you through practical, research-supported tools to develop healthy ways of coping with your emotions, cultivate an optimistic mindset, utilize the power of social support, and move forward toward new goals more effectively. Please expect to receive a calendar invite for the workshop in a few days.
