5 Simple Ways to Build Stress Resilience

👋 Raise your hand if you want more resilience to stress! 

Less anxiety? 

Yes please 🤚 (it’s ok…my hand is WAY up too!)

New research shows that one way to achieve these things is simply by getting BETTER SLEEP. 

The study looked at data from 1600 healthy adults during 2020 (an anxious time for lots of people!). Most of the participants were women. 

They found that both positive coping strategies and higher quality sleep made people more resilient to stress and anxiety—independently, meaning each of these things work on their own.
