Science-backed, research-driven, actionable strategies for countering stress and building your resilience
 
"A great deal of everyday wellbeing lies beyond what is happening inside a person's head. Everyday opportunities and activities that foster growth and build positive resources are not 'icing on the cake,' but the active ingredients of everyday resilience." --Samantha Boardman, Everyday Vitality

In Everyday Vitality, psychiatrist Dr. Samantha Boardman shows readers how to find strength within their stress and how to transform full days into more fulfilling days. Drawing from scientific research and her own clinical experience, she shares strategies for cultivating vitality--the positive feeling of aliveness and energy that lies at the core of well-being and at the heart of a good day. 
 
You will discover how increased vitality boosts productivity, builds coping skills, and enhances your ability to manage negative emotions. Dr. Boardman demonstrates how to override counterproductive responses to the onslaught of daily hassles and to respond with flexibility and fortitude instead of fear and rumination. Rather than disengaging from the world while you "find yourself," she shows you how to boost your vitality by living well within the world.
 
As Dr. Boardman explains, the three main wellsprings of vitality are: meaningfully connecting with others; engaging in experiences that challenge you; and contributing to something beyond yourself. These activities foster resilience by boosting emotional stamina and generating uplifts--the counterparts to daily irritations and annoyances. Whether it is having a good conversation, doing a favor for someone, going for a walk, or reading an interesting article and then calling a friend to talk about it, commonplace experiences and micromoments serve as the building blocks of everyday resilience. Everyday Vitality explains how to identify them in your life, develop them, and use them as a foundation on which to thrive. 
 
Whether you are twenty or eighty, Everyday Vitality will give you the tools you need to get the most out of each day and to live your life to the fullest. 

Boardman, Samantha: - Samantha Boardman (Sam) was born and raised in Stockport, South of Manchester, England, UK. She is the youngest child in the family and has an older Brother and Sister. Sam left school as soon as she could and worked in Insurance for almost fourteen years. In those years in insurance, she carried out a variety of roles and even studied to be a Financial Adviser. Once she passed these exams, and was qualified to give Financial advice, she moved to Toulouse, South of France with her long-term partner at the time. Sam settled into France well and eventually worked for British Aerospace for almost 17 years. She bought land, built a house and even became fluent in French and still has French friends to this day. In 2002 Sam was offered the opportunity of a short-term secondment to Adelaide, South Australia. Never shy of a challenge, Sam jumped at the chance. The secondment was a welcome relief and was initially for two months, but the arrangement worked well and she was eventually offered full time, permanent employment in Adelaide, South Australia. Sam eventually left British Aerospace and took up other forms of work. During these twelve months, she raised a Guide Dog puppy Monty, did all sorts of Volunteer work including worked for the RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service), Lifeline (the Suicide Prevention Helpline) and also took the opportunity to travel and explore overseas - even heading back to Toulouse to visit long-time friends. Sam has always worked in a logistical, number crunching, fact finding environment and eventually founded Spending Made Easy in 2016. Sam loves talking, planning and problem solving, but most of all, she loves helping people. Sam has a non-judgemental, tell me anything personality and is never short of something to say. Sam has budgeted all her life and is now an expert in the field of Spending Plans.
