Mental Grit and Resilience in Troubling Times with Dr. Gillian Mandich, Giovanni Marsico, Sonia Zarbatany

It can be hard to stay positive when things are tough. But don't
worry, you're not alone. In this special episode, Dr. Stephanie
appears on The Gifted Show alongside host Giovanni Marsico, coach
Sonia Zarbatany, and happiness researcher Dr. Gillian Mandich as
they discuss how to be happier and more resilient during
difficult times.


 


They discuss how we have the power to change the way we can look
at external stressors and some of the ways we can cultivate
cellular grit and resilience. You’ll learn how repressing
emotions can activate pleasure centers in the brain and how
connecting with our emotions is vital in the pursuit of
happiness. We talked about how to reverse engineer how to be
happy now through the presence and instead of waiting in till you
reach a milestone, and how the power of habits is the foundation
of excellence.
