Resilience has been a good-to-know word used by most of us these days. Yet, when I hear or read the word in different articles. I started to notice an important pattern that started to build up. People do not know what it means, plus people who have a growth mindset are much more resilient.
Then what is it to be resilient? Resilience is the ability of an individual to adapt to hardships and setbacks they face in life. How do you know if you are resilient or not? To answer this question let me tell a story about myself and how I was able to master resilience.
My journey to becoming resilient started in April 2020, when my manager fired me. Here is the point where I started to change my attitude towards life and all the setbacks I started to face. I was able to bounce back from every failure with a more positive attitude. Yet, my journey is still far from over, and achieving my life purpose is my life destination. That is how to become resilient and difficult times.
Here are some tips to master resilience:
1. Get connected
2. Find meaning
3. Laugh
4. Learn from Experience
5. Remain hopeful
6. Keep Journal
7. Accept change
8. Work towards a goal
9. Maintain perspective
10. Be patient

1yVery practical tips. As each person 's journey is different, each would define #resilience differently too, according to what they define hardships as. For a child surviving in poverty in a third world country, he would not think a bad scolding from our leaders in our air-conditioned office qualify as hardship. Still, no one can trivialise what each individual is going through, we just have to understand that from their point of view, it's tough on them. The point here is this, we should keep challenging ourselves and truly worry when our life starts feeling like a bed of roses.
