PRACTICE YOUR SKILLS :-
Feeling that you’re good at something engenders feelings of optimism and hope.
When you feel that you are a capable person, able to achieve things and do things, you naturally become more confident and resilient.
Think of JK Rowling typing away day after day. She worked alone and needed to know that
she was good at what she was doing.
By practicing over and over, her writing kept getting better and better. She kept on gaining confidence, and that confidence helped her push through.
Why it’s important to resilience:
Being good at something only comes with practice, and being good at something improves resilience through confidence.
Keep learning
Resilient people are able to learn from their mistakes.
They can also recognize that everyone makes mistakes, and that doing so is simply part of the process of leading an active, happy, healthy life.
If you expect to never do anything wrong, you’ll be constantly tense and on edge, hoping that you never slip up.
If, when something doesn’t go to plan, you are able to sit back, analyze what happened, and think about how you might avoid it happening again, you’ll develop resilience.
Why it’s important to resilience:
Our minds are designed to learn from what we do well and what we do badly.
It is only by learning that we can progress. By learning from your mistakes, you teach yourself that it is OK to make them. When it is OK to make mistakes, you allow yourself to take more risks.
