Developing an antifragile mindset doesn't mean denying feelings of anxiety and stress, but instead, training ourselves to summon the opposite responses. We can combat stress with relaxation; hopelessness with hopefulness; anxiety and panic with mindfulness meditation. If we are in danger of losing a loved one, or we have already suffered such a loss, we can give ourselves permission to grieve – we can be patient and kind to ourselves. We can remind ourselves that crying is a healthy response to loss.
