Expert Advice for CopingMain article for the Jan. 2010 issue of Healthy Women Take 10, the electronic newsletter of healthywomen.org (National Women's Health Resource Center).
This piece takes a look at why some people are more resilient than others and how to boost resilience (both psychological and physical) -- even during tough times. I've been writing monthly articles for this publication--which focuses on fitness, nutrition and wellness--for more than five years. Some of the topics I've explored: headache help without drugs; healthy eating on a budget; alleviating chronic pain with exercise; nourishing your eyes; lunch-break workouts; depression defenses; building flexibility; re-igniting your sexual self; healthy grilling; ways to sideline stress; adaptive exercise; and many more. |
