Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress—such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors.

There are four types of resilience: physical resilience, mental resilience, emotional resilience and social resilience.
These types arise when we face major life problems, situational problems and daily problems.

It is personal resilience you need to move forward in life.

Fortunately, resilience - the capacity to deal with and bounce back from challenges - is a developable capability.

I see 8 aspects that are relevant in this context. With each of them, I articulated a question/action step for your to reflect on - you might find them useful to become more resilient:

• Accept change – Can you find ways to become more comfortable with change?
• Become a continuous learner – Can you think of new skills you can learn? How might you gain new understanding, and apply them in times of change?
• Take charge – How can you best take charge of your own career and development?
• Find your sense of purpose – When finding purpose how would this make you look back on setbacks - what might this framework in which you observe from a broader perspective bring long-term?
• Skill shift – What might be your approach when looking at your skills, talents and interest – what would you see, feel differently?
• Reflect – How can you benefit from your reflections? Feel challenged & inspired to bring new perspectives and self-awareness forward.
• Cultivate Relationships – How can you best develop and nurture a broad network of personal and professional relationships?
• Pay attention to self-identity – Do you separate who you are from what you do?

As a human being, you can change your views, habits, and responses by modifying your thoughts and actions, which will help broaden your outlook and become more adaptable to change.
