Make connections. Good relationships with close family members, friends, or others are important. Accepting help and support from those who care about you and will listen to you strengthens resilience. Some people find that being active in civic groups, faith-based organizations, or other local groups provides social support and can help with reclaiming hope. Assisting others in their time of need also can benefit the helper.
Avoid seeing crises as insurmountable problems. You can't change the
fact that highly stressful events happen, but you can change how you interpret
and respond to these events. Try looking beyond the present to how future
circumstances may be a little better. Note any subtle ways in which you might already
feel somewhat better as you deal with difficult situations.
Accept that change is a part of living. Certain goals may no
longer be attainable as a result of adverse situations. Accepting circumstances
that cannot be changed can help you focus on circumstances that you can alter.
Move toward your goals. Develop some realistic goals. Do something
regularly -- even if it seems like a small accomplishment -- that enables you
to move toward your goals. Instead of focusing on tasks that seem unachievable,
ask you, "What's one thing I know I can accomplish today that helps me
move in the direction I want to go?"
Take decisive actions. Act on adverse situations as much as you can.
Take decisive actions, rather than detaching completely from problems and
stresses and wishing they would just go away.
Look for opportunities for self-discovery. People often learn
something about themselves and may find that they have grown in some respect as
a result of their struggle with loss. Many people who have experienced
tragedies and hardship have reported better relationships, a greater sense of
strength even while feeling vulnerable, increased sense of self-worth, a more
developed spirituality, and heightened appreciation for life.
Nurture a positive view of yourself. Developing confidence in
your ability to solve problems and trusting your instincts helps build
resilience.
Keep things in perspective. Even when facing very painful events, try to
consider the stressful situation in a broader context and keep a long-term
perspective. Avoid blowing the event out of proportion.
Maintain a hopeful outlook. An optimistic outlook enables you to expect those
good things will happen in your life. Try visualizing what you want, rather
than worrying about what you fear.
Take care of yourself. Pay attention to your own needs and feelings.
Engage in activities that you enjoy and find relaxing. Exercise regularly.
Taking care of yourself helps to keep your mind and body primed to deal with
situations that require resilience.
Additional ways of strengthening resilience may be helpful. For example, some people
write about their deepest thoughts and feelings related to trauma or other
stressful events in their life. Meditation and spiritual practices help some
people build connections and restore hope. The key is to identify ways that are
likely to work well for you as part of your strategy for fostering resilience.
