Your guide to building resilience
A key part of resilience is your ability to adapt. Adapting means being able to make adjustments (physical, emotional, mental) based on changing information and circumstances. The more you are able to adapt, the more resilient you will be.
Resilience is not something that you have or don’t have. It can vary with time - some days or even years, you may feel like you’re more resilient than other times. Conversely, your resilience can be depleted or exhausted from time to time and this is very normal.
