Building Resilience for 10 more extra years of life

One of the best Resilience building mechanisms I found so far:

  1.  Phisical resilience: stay permanently active to be an active person
  2.  Mental resilience: give yourself small challenges and don't give up until you completed them 100%. Will Power is a muscle. 
  3.  Emotional resilience: 3 to 1 positive emotional ratio - provoke powerful positive emotions (i.e. curiosity, love) 3 times more than negative ones per hour. Ex. imagine a baby elephant, for instance 
  4. Social resilience: energy from friends, gratitude (i.e. incl. saying thanks to others) and shaking hands more than 6 seconds creates powerful positive emotions. Ex. reach out to a friend every day
