Survive and Thrive
We are all expected to be on the top of our game and take on the challenges that life presents to us, but managing them can be difficult. We are all too familiar with the stresses in life and the damage it can do to the biology and the psyche of a person. Resilience, solution-oriented thinking, positive attitude and decision-making with a strong dose of purpose is the foundation for mental fitness. That doesn't mean that things don’t go wrong as they often do in life, but just surviving is not enough. It is also about thriving.
