How To Manage Stress



From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your Guide to Stress Management
As regular readers know, I'm a huge proponent for finding the benefits that lie within stressful experiences, and for good reason: looking for the silver lining can not only make us feel better and less stressed, it can lead to greater resilience. This newsletter brings interesting research that backs up these ideas, and shows you how to have a good day--now and for many days to come.

Finding The Bright Side Can Equal Greater Resilience
Read about some research that at once affirms that finding the bright side can help you stave off depression (thereby promoting resilience), and provides two enjoyable routes that can get you there. You'll also find several resources to help you find your way.

Positive Emotions Can Lead To A More Satisfying Life
Here's another study that shows the surprising strength of the little things that lift your mood, with resources on how to do that for yourself. You can share your own best tips as well.

Quiz: Are You An Optimist or a Pessimist?
Optimists share certain traits, but they're subtle, and may not be the traits you expect. This quiz evaluates your way of explaining the events of life, can let you know how optimistic or pessimistic your thinking is, and supplies resources to help.
