| Arun | Apr 30, 2018 |

What is Resilience? Resilience is defined as an individual ability to successfully cope with adversity.
Is resiliency is a rare or it is like any other skill which anyone can acquire?
If you look at the various resilience research. It is focused on studying those who engage in life with hope and humor despite devastating losses. Those who respond to the adverse conditions by adapting themselves tend to cope, spring back, halt the crisis.
The greater the individual exposure to cumulative risk factors greater the chance of becoming resilient. In resilient people positive emotions serve an important factor in their ability to help them from stressful experiences.
For resilience perception is also plays an important role do you conceptualize an event as traumatic as a chance to learn or grow.
Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does to the body -- Seneca
If you are lucky enough to never experience any sort of adversity. We won't know how resilient you are, it's only when you're faced with obstacles, stress and other environmental that trigger resilience.
From a young age resilient children tend to "meet the world on their own terms". They have an Internal locus of control.
They believe that they and not their circumstances affected their achievements.
That which does not kill us, makes us stronger. -- Nietzsche
Orchestra-tors: of their own fates. Some people are far better than others dealing with adversity.
They have strong stress-response system. To reform them in positive terms when the initial response is negative. Change how they experience and react to stimulus. Emotional control, change their explanatory style, internal to external, from global to specific, from permanent to impermanent.
I can change the situation, rather than assuming it's fixed.
More internal locus tied to perceiving less stress, performing better, but changing your locus from external to internal.
You don't know how strong you are until and unless being strong is the only option left to you.
