"In 'Everyday Vitality,' psychiatrist Dr. Samantha Boardman shows readers how to find strength within their stress and how to transform full days into more fulfilling days. Drawing from scientific research and her own clinical experience, she shares strategies for cultivating vitality - the positive feeling of aliveness and energy that lies at the core of well-being and at the heart of a good day. You will discover how increased vitality boosts productivity, builds coping skills, and enhances your ability to manage negative emotions. Dr. Boardman demonstrates how to override counterproductive responses to the onslaught of daily hassles and to respond with flexibility and fortitude instead of fear and rumination. Rather than disenganging from the world while you 'find yourself,' she shows you how to boost your vitality by living well within the world. As Dr. Boardman explains, the three main well-springs of vitality are: meaningfully connecting with others; engaging in experiences that challenge you; and contributing to somehting beyond yourself. These activities foster resilience by boosting emotional stamina and generating uplifts - the counterpart to daily irritations and annoyances. Whether it is having a good conversation, doing a favor for someone, going for a walk, or reading and interesting article and then calling a friend to talk about it, commonplace experiences and micromoments serve as the building blocks of everyday resilience. 'Everyday Viatality' explains how to identify them in your life, develop them, and use them as a foundation on which to thrive. Whether you are twenty or eighty, 'Everyday Vitality' will give you the tools you need to get the most out of each day and to live your life to the fullest." --Jacket.
