In today’s episode, we talk about resilience – what it is and how to build it up for yourself.
Show Notes:
- Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress. Resilience isn’t just about bouncing back after a difficult situation, but it’s about handling new stresses better from the growth and learning from those situations.
- Strategies for building resilience include:
- Creating/fostering connections with understanding, trustworthy, and empathetic people who will support you.
- Practicing self-care, and health and wellness of body, mind, and spirit.
- Finding purpose in your life – through helping others, personal growth, going after goals, and self-discovery.
- Raising your vibration – work on optimism and hope, keep perspective, adopt more balanced thinking.
- Seek professional help from a licensed mental health therapist.
