There’s no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out. – Sophie Kinsella
Factors that contribute to resilience include:
- Seeking help and resources
- Seeing yourself as resilient (rather than as a victim)
- Coping with stress in healthy ways and avoiding harmful coping strategies, such as substance abuse
- Helping others
- Finding positive meaning in your life despite difficult or traumatic events
