What is resilience and how it helps in uncertain times?     

Resilience is the ability of an individual to deal with loss and trauma. It can help you better adapt to the traumatic changes in life and cope with hardships and tragedies. People with greater resilience have a higher tolerance for emotional discomfort, sadness, stress, despair, and anxiety. It helps you to see the positive side even when the days are rough and nights are dark. If you feel like you are very sensitive to adverse situations and find it really difficult to deal with them, you need to build your resilience. It isn’t something that comes naturally; you need to build it by effort and practice. Here we present some of the incredible tips that can help you build resilience and deal with difficulties well. 

   

Some amazing tips to build resilience   

  1. The first thing you need to do is to practice acceptance. Most people experience a denial phase during a crisis. You fool yourself as if nothing has happened and prevent yourself from adapting to the new situation. However, the earlier you’ll accept things, the more you’ll seek solutions and take action.


  2. Next, make a list of all the things you can control. It will help you alleviate a little stress and focus on the things that need immediate attention.  


  3. Grieve your losses. People often think that grieving or weeping is a kind of weakness when it isn’t. Acknowledging your loss and mourning it helps you heal. It will help you to move on with your life. Keeping the stress inside and consuming your heart and mind over it is of no use.  


  4. Seek support. Man is a social animal and thus requires social support to keep doing with life. If you experience a bad or traumatic phase, never deal with it alone. Seek help from people who you trust. Talk your frustration out and ease your stress.


  5. The most important thing to do is to avoid the negativity around. Be it people or the environment, keep the negative stuff away. You must be experiencing negative emotions and thoughts already and negative people are going to worsen it only. Only refer to friends and family who are empathetic and motivating.     


  6. Take good care of yourself. Hardships are undoubtedly going to put you in a state of mental and physical exhaustion. You are likely to feel numb with drained energy but always remember self-care is important. You can never give up on yourself. A healthy mind can only flourish in a healthy body. Eat food that boosts your mood and do physical and mental exercises to keep yourself active. 


All these tips can help you build resilience to deal with difficult times effectively. We completely understand that these tips are a little difficult to follow especially when life hits you hard. But, always remember giving up is never an option. Life is not always beautiful, you have to make it with your strength!
