What are life skills?

As per UNICEF, “Life skills are defined as “a group of psychosocial competencies and interpersonal skills that help people make informed decisions, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, empathize with others, and cope with and manage their lives in a healthy and productive manner.”

Let’s make it simple. Like we train our body in a gym to be fit or we train to learn a new language or skills for a job interview, we can also develop skills to deal with and win through the challenges of life. Decision Making, Problem Solving, Managing Work and Personal Life Stress, Keeping a Check of your Anger. These are skills that you need to have in your toolbox to lead a peaceful life.
