1. Reframe the situation: How are you looking at the situation? Is there another, more positive angle that you can look it from? Are there any positives you can take? The mind is a funny thing and can give us all sorts of different viewpoints depending on our current emotional mood and state.
2. Identify What You Can & Can’t Control: Do what you can about what you can control and understand & accept that you can’t control the rest (and let it go).
3. Social Connection: Having strong bonds with family and friends helps to build our self confidence, ensures we know we have people to turn to when in need and in turn, builds our resilience.

8. Acceptance of Life & the Situation: Things happen. Accept that they have happened and may need time to fix but will be ok after time. 
9. Acceptance of Change: Change is the only constant in life. Understand that things will change. Learn to adapt and move on.

11. Have a Purpose: When you’re working towards something and you understand why, it’s very difficult to get knocked down.

23. Embrace the Stress: Stress gets a bad name however a little of it can be a good thing. It can motivate and drive us to complete things that we didn’t know or realise we can do. If it’s a light amount of stress, embrace it and use it to help drive you. 
24. Move from Global to Specific: Don’t treat incidents that they are indication of a catastrophic life, they are single incidents that happen to everyone. they do not reflect your entire life.

26. Internal to External Events: Take problems as things that happen to you, not things that things that you cause.

38. Find the Learning: When things don’t go our way, there is often a learning that can be taken. If a relationship breaks down, it can help us see what we want in a future relationship.

39. You’ve Already Been Through A Lot: Everyone has been through ups and downs in life. Remember that you have come through things before and you will do again.
