It all starts with building what I refer to as an inner insurance plan, an investment in your current mindset that will repeatedly pay dividends down the road. An inner insurance plan is all about building hardiness, which is essentially developing faith in your ability to cope with an unknown future filled with things you simply can't control. You inner insurance plan requires at least one active passion, which is likely to help you cope better in times of heavy stress. Develop healthy habits that give you a sense of personal control when everything else feels out of control. Commit to these four strategies and you'll feel like you've taken out a giant inner insurance plan to protect you in the future.
