3 Key Strategies for Building Resilience

Bounce back, get back on your feet, pick yourself up, just try again…we've all heard these sayings before, but in reality, building resilience can be challenging.

Life throws hurdles, setbacks, and social challenges our way regularly. Rather than fixating on the challenges themselves, let's shift our focus to our response to these experiences.

3 essential strategies to help you build resilience:

1. Setting Realistic Goals and Taking Risks:

Building resilience isn't about where you are now; it's about where you want to go. Start by setting challenging yet achievable goals. Embrace the idea of taking risks and trying new things. Instead of just focusing on the end result, reward yourself for the effort you put in.

2. Cultivating a Growth Mindset:

While it's completely normal to feel upset in the face of challenges, take a step back and reframe the situation. Begin by labeling your emotions. Then, rephrase your disappointment and allow yourself to explore the potential benefits. Ask yourself how this experience can contribute to your personal growth.

3. Being Your Own Cheerleader:

Facing repeated challenges can be tough, but it's essential to let yourself navigate through them and learn. Treat yourself with the same understanding and encouragement that you'd offer someone else. Be your own cheerleader rather than putting yourself down.

Building resilience is a journey of personal growth.
