Building resilience
<p><br></p><p>If you’re more sensitive to emotional distress and are finding it difficult to cope with hardship or adversity, it’s important not to think of it as some kind of character flaw. Resilience isn’t a macho quality and it isn’t fixed; it’s an ongoing process that requires effort to build and maintain over time.</p><p>Unless you’ve faced adversity in your life before, it’s unlikely you’ve had the need or opportunity to develop resilience. Drawing on past experiences can help you cope with the challenges you’re facing today. Even if you’ve struggled to cope with adversity in the past, you may at least be able to recognize some of the ways of coping that DON’T help, such as trying to numb your feelings with drugs or alcohol.</p><p>While it’s often difficult to imagine anything good coming out of traumatic experiences, building resilience can help you find any positives in the difficulties you’ve faced. Surviving hardships can teach you important things about yourself and the world around you, strengthen your resolve, deepen your empathy, and in time enable you to evolve and grow as a human being.</p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Building resilience can also help you to:</strong></p><p><strong>1. Stay focused, flexible, and productive, in both good and bad times.</strong></p><p><strong>2. Feel less afraid of new experiences or an uncertain future.</strong></p><p><strong>3. Manage and tolerate strong emotions outside your comfort zone, even those you’d rather avoid like anger or despair.</strong></p><p><strong>4. Strengthen your relationships and improve your communication skills, especially under pressure.</strong></p><p><strong>5. Bolster your self-esteem.</strong></p><p><strong>6. Be confident you’ll eventually find a&nbsp; solution to a problem, even when one isn’t immediately apparent.</strong></p><p>You can develop and improve these qualities of resilience at any time, regardless of your age, background, or circumstances. The following tips can help you face hardships with more confidence, better cope with these tumultuous times, and make it through to the brighter, more hopeful days ahead.</p><p><br></p><p>Classclosed.</p>
