The ultimate goal is a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation, and fun – plus the resilience to hold up under pressure and meet challenges head on.
Here are a few tips which can be prove to be helpful :
- Take a time-out – Practice yoga, listen to music, meditate, get a massage, or learn relaxation techniques. Stepping back from the problem helps clear your head.

- Maintain a positive attitude – Make an effort to replace negative thoughts with positive ones.
- Give back to your community – Be active in your community which creates a support network and gives you a break from everyday stress.

Regularly practicing these techniques will build your physical and emotional resilience, heal your body, and boost your overall feelings of joy and equanimity.
