What You Should Know
- People who are strong can fight catastrophic and all-or-nothing thinking, which is when everything in life seems to be the worst it could be.
- Positive reappraisals are a good way to change something bad into something good. Reappraisals help us find the good in bad situations.
- When things get tough, resilient people remind themselves of what they care about in life. Knowing what matters to them and why it's worth living is important for resilience.
- The strong people accept all of their feelings, from happiness to sadness and anger to compassion. This can make life more interesting and full.

Change Now
- Be positive. To break the cycle of misery, try thinking about a hard problem from an outside perspective.
