These days, getting cut off in traffic can send me on an emotional rollercoaster. So I asked experts how to get mentally tougher.<\/p>\n

Erik Vance, who writes and edits stories about fitness (among other things), is filling in for Jancee Dunn today.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve noticed I am becoming less resilient as I age. Insults used to bounce off me; I could move to a new city at the drop of a hat. Now I stew for days about a social media slight and can barely change my hair without fretting.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a flaw \u2014 one I want to help my young son avoid<\/a> by exposing him<\/a> to challenges that will help him confront adversity without melting down. I know it\u2019s hypocritical \u2014 the very essence of \u201cdo as I say, not as I do.\u201d Before I raise a resilient kid, I should probably raise a resilient me.<\/p>\n

I have my coping mechanisms: Intense exercise, getting out into nature or distracting my brain with a Rubik\u2019s Cube can all keep me from spinning out. But these feel like Band-Aids, not real grit.<\/p>\n

So I called a few experts to find out how I can become tougher. What I discovered was that my view of resilience was all wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
