Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or even significant sources of stress — such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors. It means “bouncing back” from difficult experiences.
Some people are naturally quite resilient, but for lots of us, it can take time to build up the skills – everyone’s different. Remember, you’re not in control of everything that happens to you, but you ARE in control of how you react.
Some things which can help you to be more resilient are –
- Remembering that challenges aren’t things that “get in the way” of life, they are part of life.
- Focusing on all your positive qualities and not forgetting them – especially when the going gets tough.
- Thinking about other times when you have faced difficulties and remembering that you got through them, even if it was tough at the time.
- Surrounding yourself with positive people who like you for you – not people who criticise or upset you.
- Accepting that sometimes bad things happen and it’s OK to feel sad or down about them.
- Talking about your struggles with people you trust, and asking for help and support when you need it.
