Resilience

Resilience is the ability to adapt and regain functioning after stress, crisis, loss or adversity.

Definition

Resilience does not mean insensitivity or the absence of suffering. Rather, it means being able to draw on internal, relational, and environmental resources to gradually get back into action. It can be enhanced by social support, emotion regulation, meaning, flexibility and learning from experience.

Practice and life

After a difficult week, write down three things: what weighed me down, what sustained me, and what small element is worth keeping as a resource for the future.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to confuse resilience with being tough at all costs. It is also a mistake to ignore the need for help and rest.
