Resilience refers to a person's ability to function well in the face of high demand, unwanted change, challenge, or adversity.

It is built of a set of characteristics that most people possess to some degree. We are naturally stronger in some of these traits than in others. This means that we can play to our strengths, and recognise and develop the characteristics which are under-developed or lacking. This is the process of developing personal resilience.

And you can learn how to do that. When you understand what these characteristics are, you can begin to foster attitudes and habits in yourself which will boost your resilience and reduce the impact of stressful events.

I'll tell you how – by doing a little each day – you can gradually become more emotionally robust and use your energies so that you flourish, rather than struggling with the things that hold so many people back when they face an unexpected challenge, crisis, or persistently high demand.
