Practices that may help
- Conservation of Resources Theory, Made Practical
Stevan Hobfoll’s conservation of resources (COR) theory holds that stress occurs when valued resources are threatened, lost, or fail to return after investment. The theory predicts that people with more resources are more resilient and that resource loss is disproportionately more powerful than resource gain — which explains why the same stressor hits harder when you’re already depleted. Building, protecting, and strategically deploying resources is the practical application. - Audit your current resource base
Take stock of where you stand in each resource category — objects, conditions, characteristics, and energies — before the next stressor arrives.
