Resilience is innate. Learn how to unlock it.

You have innate resilience – the ability to survive, recover and flourish amid adversity.  When you feel unable to cope with difficult situations, you can tap into your resilience, nurture it and restore it. Being resilient means accepting the reality of your situation and learning from your mistakes. It requires being “self-ish” – reflecting on your choices, behaviors and needs, and cultivating the self-awareness to avoid reacting ineffectively or alienating potential allies.
