"Cultivating Resilience: The Art of Thriving in Turbulent Times"

It's easy to remain at the whims of the chaos in highly unpredictable worlds like the one we are in and feel so much more like we're simply surviving than anything else. What if we learn not just to weather the storms but grow more robust and more resilient each time this happens?

Resilience can be defined as the capability to spring back from adversity, trauma, and stress. And often, it becomes developed to some extent through practice. That's what developing resilience does for me: I now hope to be well-placed to face life's challenges.


So, how do we develop this most important quality within ourselves? Well, here are a few strategies:

1. Self-awareness: "The better you know yourself, your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, the better you will build resilience." Some things about yourself are vital, and some are not; identify some of both and then work on areas of weakness.

2. Embrace challenges: Instead of shying away from difficult situations, look at them as opportunities for growth and learning. Welcome the unknown; try taking some risks that are pretty gut-safe to get ahead of this drag.


3. Establish a growth mindset:
People with a growth mindset believe their abilities and intelligence can be developed through hard work and dedication.
That attitude makes one face problems optimistically and in ways better learned from failures.

4. Surround yourself with support:
Surround yourself with positive people who build you up and make you feel good about yourself. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it!

5. Time to practice mindfulness and self-care: Developing resiliency and practicing good self-care, both in the physical and emotional-mental worlds, is essential. Make time to do the things you love and that make you happy in relaxation—whether this be meditation, exercise, or hobbies.


With these established practical day-to-day application strategies, you would be open and accept life's challenges with grace, resilience, and determination. Remember, however, that resilience does not mean you are immune to challenges—you thrive despite them.
