Strengthening
resilience
The good news is that resilience is
not a fixed trait but a skill that can
be developed and honed over time.
Here are several strategies to strengthen resilience:
1. Remain Positive
3. Problem Solve
Maintaining a posi琀椀ve outlook in the face
of adversity is a cornerstone of resilience.
Focus on 昀椀nding the silver lining in
challenging situa琀椀ons and reframing
setbacks as opportuni琀椀es for growth.
Enhance your ability to tackle challenges
by developing problem-solving skills. Break
down complex problems into smaller,
manageable tasks, and iden琀椀fy prac琀椀cal
steps to address them.
Example: When facing a project setback at
work, instead of dwelling on the failure,
view it as a chance to learn from mistakes
and improve future outcomes.
Example: When confronted with a work
project that seems overwhelming, create
a detailed plan, delegate tasks, and set
achievable milestones.
2. Build A Strong Support Network
4. Practice Self-Care
Seeking support from friends, family, or
colleagues can be immensely bene昀椀cial.
Connec琀椀ng with others who understand
your struggles and can o昀昀er guidance and
encouragement can bolster your resilience.
Priori琀椀se self-care to recharge and build
resilience. Engage in ac琀椀vi琀椀es that promote
physical and emo琀椀onal well-being, such as
exercise, medita琀椀on, mindfulness and
adequate sleep.
Example: During a stressful work period, lean on
your suppor琀椀ve co-workers for assistance
or emo琀椀onal support.
Example: Amid a demanding work schedule,
take regular breaks to clear your mind,
prac琀椀ce deep breathing, or engage in a
short medita琀椀on session.
