Resilience Fact
While most people think of themselves as resilient, they are not well-prepared to face adversity in its many forms, whether daily hassles, major setbacks at school or personal life, or traumatic events.
Benefits of Increasing Resilience
Resilience helps you move through the chronic stress and everyday hassles of daily life such as arguments at home or school, minor health issues and homework overloads.
Tips to Increase Resilience
Use visualization to relax. Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a calm relaxing place. People often choose to imagine beaches, mountains, woodlands, gardens. Imagine the sights and sounds of the scene. Once you have a calming scene you may choose to repeat a phrase such as "I am relaxed" or "I am feeling peaceful."
