To cultivate a more resilient mindset, one can start by practicing mindfulness and staying present in the moment. This involves acknowledging and accepting the challenges faced without dwelling on them excessively. Additionally, developing a growth mindset can be beneficial, where setbacks are viewed as opportunities for learning and growth rather than insurmountable obstacles. Building a strong support system of friends, family, or a therapist can provide emotional support during tough times. Engaging in self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies can also help in building resilience and coping with difficult days.

Engaging in acts of kindness towards others or oneself can boost mood and create a sense of fulfillment. Finding humor in challenging situations and maintaining a sense of perspective can also help in shifting focus towards positivity and joy.
