When we are resilient, we're able to pick ourselves up from life's inevitable knocks and difficult times when we may naturally be feeling less than positive. So what, actually, is resilience? 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- What resilience is not

- What to do to make sure we become more resilient

- Four pillars for building resilience

- How to resist isolating ourselves when life is hard

- The importance of looking after ourselves all of the time

- How to build up the habit of thinking in a healthy and productive way

When we have the ability to recover from something unpleasant, it means that we've stored up the mental and physical capacity to do it. Realising that we can cope with a change, we can actually enjoy it and thrive because of it. Then we have the reserves that enable us to get through the difficult times, to bounce back and even grow from the experience.
