How to be more resilient

[Summerfield41]

Finding this difficult- yes I’ve had a few things happen in the last 6 months eg aunt I’m close to was ill- now sort of ok but needs another op. Pet died a couple of months ago etc.
But- it’s the everyday things I seem to struggle with at the moment- things that maybe people would just find frustrating but not struggle to cope with.
Sometimes I feel I can deal more with a crisis than lesser problems that most folk would find very frustrating but not get really stressed over.
How do I become more resilient?
Thank you for any thoughts/ help re this….

I'm sorry you've had to go through all that.
What kind of things are you finding it hard to deal with?
Would a structure to your day/week help? Like, a set time to do admin or whatever it is you're having difficulty with.

Somethings you could do is -
Take some floradix and vitamin d
Drink lots of water and cut down on alcohol, sugar and processed carbs
Go for walks in nature as that can "re-resource" you.
Talk to friends and family.

Thanks so much for your reply.
I’ll look into vitamins. I hardly drink alcohol so no problem there.
Need to definitely schedule in more walks.
You are right about structuring my day more.
I think I need to look at counselling- I’ll maybe pay for a couple of sessions- as I feel my family/ friends are too busy and especially family don’t have time to listen which I have found difficult.

Lots of time outdoors, start doing a sport.

@Summerfield41 "Sometimes I feel I can deal more with a crisis than lesser problems that most folk would find very frustrating but not get really stressed over."

this is a thing. I mean a recognised psychological thing. I guess it's because we give all our resources to the vital stuff and then find it harder to deal with small frustrations because our energy has been used up.

I think physical exercise helps. But also remember that recreational activities are supposed to recreate you. So hobbies are important IMHO.

@EmeraldRoulette I agree with this.
Look at some of Dr Rangan Chatterjee's YouTube videos or his podcast.
He talks about general well-being and says taking time out to destress is one of the most important things to do so hobbies, listening to music, reading and so on are vital.

Try to make your everyday life as pleasant as possible. A nice relaxing bath , listen to music , nature sounds, read/listen a good book , watch a lovely programme that is relaxing like Gardeners world, craft vlogs etc , lovely room diffusers and candles , experiment with teas or coffee . l have discovered l love Berry teas . A nice Walk in all weathers.The cold weather is so bracing and exhilarating and refreshing.
Nice smelling good shampoo and conditioner, a little treat food wise , a pillow sleep spray . Plenty of water. A general overhaul of your health too at
A wellness clinic or similar .
I use breathing exercises daily , l find they really help .
Good luck OP .l hope you feel much brighter very soon.
