7 Ways to Be More Resilient
"Resilience is the set of personal qualities that enable us to thrive in the face of adversity. It may involve being calm in difficult situations, implementing effective coping mechanisms, and handling criticism well.
Why Is Resilience Important?
1. Practice Acceptance
2. Strive for Self-Knowledge
Self-knowledge is essential to resilience. If we do not know ourselves well enough to cope with stressors in ways that are effective for us, then we are likely to struggle.
3. Take Care of Yourself
If we focus on being healthier, we are likely to boost our resilience. We can do this by eating more nutritious food, engaging in moderate exercise, and sleeping when we're tired.
4. Practice Self-Love
5. Build Social Connections
No matter what we're doing, we feel better when we're doing it with others.
6. Take a Step Back
7. Make Meaning
We often create explanations in our minds for why things happened to us and why they happened the way they did. This can help us cope with loss and other stressful events."
