Which would stress you more, changing jobs, or moving house?
Would most people be more stressed by a son or daughter leaving home, or retirement?
Are you thinking 'It depends'?
It does.
Researchers have shown that people and teams with the most resilience, or mental toughness, think and do things that we could all do. The differences are not profound, but for most of us they involve changing our habits.
The benefits are life-enhancing - more optimism, more motivation, less stress and better health. We'll probably live significantly longer too.
