uggling family life and business can be very tough, to say the least. It adds up with comparing yourself with “more successful women on Instagram” out there: How do they do it? How do they manage to feel so good? It is
overwhelming and being mothers and entrepreneurs ourselves, we have been there just like many of you and still are. But resilience is not a trait, it is not something you are born with; it is something you are learning as you go, we’ve distilled essential tips on how to become more resilient.
1
First, acknowledge that your struggle is valid, no matter how small it could seem Don’t be ashamed of the stress you are going through, stress triggers seem to lay up.
2
Build positive beliefs in your abilities
Remind yourself of your strengths and accomplishments, make a list of times when you dealt with stress successfully. Self- confidence is a great tool to combat stress.
3
Accept the things you cannot change
You have to accept the fact that changing difficult situations is not always possible, do not blame yourself, accept the reality and head to the next point.
