DVSA: Resilience & Stress II

Thank you for joining us today as we explored how resilience skills can support you to work smarter, feel happier & live better.

The skills are deliberately straightforward and actionable; with practice, you can build them into your daily life.

Here’s a few ways we suggest you explore the skills this week:

We’ve included a few challenges to get you started.
Download the planner below for a weekly focus and complete the challenges daily.
Focus on the big ideas. Spend time learning to recognise when pressure turns into stress for you and learn to recognise rumination.
Choose any of the other resilience skills and experiment with them. Continue to pick and mix as and when you can.

The skills may take time to develop. Pick the ones that resonate with you now. You can always return to experiment with others at a later date.
