An Action Plan for Building Personal Resilience

ABA: “More than ever, we need personal resilience in our daily lives.Resilience is frequently defined as the ability to recover quickly from challenges. For us humans, those challenges can be anything from a broken leg to a job loss to the death of a loved one. It follows, then, that building up both mental and physical resilience over time helps us meet life’s difficulties head-on and hopefully overcome them faster and with fewer long-term impacts. According to “Resilience Training” on the Mayo Clinic’s website, “If you have a resilient disposition, you are better able to maintain poise and a healthy level of physical and psychological wellness in the face of life’s challenges”—on the flip side, those with less resilience are “more likely to dwell on problems, feel overwhelmed, use unhealthy coping tactics to handle stress, and develop anxiety and depression.”..
