Resilience?

Resilience is the ability to face adversity and achieve adapt well to the tragedies, traumas, threats or severe stress.

Being resilient does not mean not feeling discomfort, emotional pain or difficulty in adversity. The death of a loved one, serious illness, job loss, serious financial problems, etc., are events that have great impact on people, producing a feeling of insecurity, uncertainty and emotional pain. Still, people achieve, typically, overcome these events and adapt well over time.

The road to resilience is not an easy road, but involves considerable stress and emotional distress, despite which people draw strength that allows them to continue with their lives in the face of adversity or tragedy. But how do they do?

Resilience is not something a person has or does not have, but involves a series of behaviors and ways of thinking that anyone can learn and develop.
Resilient people have three main characteristics: they know how to accept reality as it is; have a deep belief that life has meaning; and have an unwavering ability to improve.
More resilient people:

They have a better self-image
Less criticize themselves
They are more optimistic
Facing challenges
They are healthier physically
Are more successful at work or studies
They are more satisfied with their relationships
They are less prone to depression

What helps make a person more resilient

Emotional support is one of the main factors. Having people in your life who love you and support you and who you can trust makes you more resilient if you're alone.
Allow yourself to feel intense emotions without fear them or run from them, and at the same time be able to recognize when you need help feeling some emotion and focus your mind on some distraction.
Do not run away from problems but face them and seek solutions. Involves see problems as challenges you can overcome and not as dire threats.
Taking time to rest and recuperate, knowing what you can push yourself and when to stop.
Relying both yourself and others.

well I lost someone and it takes a bit of time to see you must get up and live again .isolation I think can be hardest when alone causes lots of problemsbut we must be resilient
thumbs up this is the way I see it as well. You can overcome anything if you face it and deal with it rather than crawl up in a bundle and blame the world for picking on you.
Take your time and cry, grieve etc, but at some stage you have to pick yourself up, dust off and get going again.

Having people to talk to and rely on is the basic requirement for me.

throught the time, lived experiences, missed and shocks, this is how we become resilient,I think most of us are fortunate we can see life from a different perspective after difficult times.
