Chewing Gum Can Help Reduce Stress

Being an element of control in a situation will increase your resilience. Resilience isn't something that you get from some cause, or something you learn while studying at Eastern or Yale. It's something you experience when the conditions are right. One of those conditions is control. So next time you hear someone bemoaning their work or lamenting their partner, ask yourself what level of control did they have? More than telling them to harden up or show a bit of resilience? Have a think about how they could go about getting more control. After all, that's an actual proven way to build resilience.
