TED Talks Daily · Feeling stressed? The answer isn’t to “just relax” | Aditi Nerurkar · 28 Apr 2025 podcast

So family, friends, colleagues, like people that you feel a real sense of connection with, strong ties.

And this study looked at like the way that influences our wellbeing.

And yes, strong ties really does, it works, you know, but again, we don't necessarily have the energy for strong ties when you're feeling so stressed and burnt out and truly depleted.

But weak ties is like saying good morning to your barista at the coffee shop when you're getting your groceries packed, saying, hey, chatting with the grocery clerk, when you're picking up the mail, saying hello to your postman, when you're taking a walk in your neighborhood and you see your neighbor walking their dog saying good morning.

These short kind of exchanges that you can have throughout the day can have a profound effect on your sense of connection, community and well-being.

So all to say,

that really it can have a profound effect and lean into those weak ties.

Absolutely.

So, you know, I think of kind of five key strategies when you think about like the checklist, because many of us work in leadership roles, right?

Like together here, we are in a leadership capacity in various ways.

And so think about there's kind of like I think of it as five key elements of a checklist for resilient leadership and how to like engage and really lean into a sense of true resiliency.

The first is that you want to normalize the experience of stress and burnout, because I just shared that 70% of people are struggling.

So your charges, your employees, in your family, in your community, 70% of people are really struggling.

So over-communicating about mental health is really the way forward.

Another thing that you could do is if you are in a leadership position, normalize

not being engaged, you know, normalize only working during working hours.

So off-duty expectations, minimize those.

Off, you know, off-hour phone calls, meetings, emails, etc.

Next, cultivate a sense of psychological safety and connection in your workplaces, in your groups of social groups, etc.

Next, if you are a leader and in a working environment, two things that you could add.
