One of my resolutions for 2016: write more blogs! Enjoy!

Christmas holiday, moment of reflection on the threshold of the new year. How do we want to step into the New Year? How do we develop more resilience so that we can deal better with stress? Here are three tips.

1) Learn something new

Study a new language, take on a volunteer job, make plans for a special trip. It challenges you brains. It helps you to focus on something else.

2) Provide a buffer

Everything that relaxes and enriches, helps building resilience for difficult times. The first thing overburdened people do out of guilt or lack of time is give up the things they enjoy. But anything that gives you positive energy is important to keep youself afloat. So grab your calendar and make hard appointments with yourself to go hiking, visit a good friend or read a book.

3) Live in the moment

It helps to give open and curious attention to what you experience here and now. Also the troublesome experiences. The past can not be changed. The future is still uncertain. Now is the moment where it happens.

Wish you all a resilient 2016!
