Resilience refers to the ability to successfully adapt to stressors, maintaining psychological wellbeing in the face of adversity. It's the ability to bounce back from difficult experiences.
A key to building resilience is identifying ways that are likely to work well for you as part of your personal strategy.
Since childhood, we have heard stories about individuals overcoming unthinkable circumstances–disasters no one believed they could and coming out stronger than before.
Resilience comes from within you–it is your inner strength. It is what makes bouncing back from challenges and setbacks possible. It doesn't make your problems disappear but helps get you past them.
It may sound surprising, but most people do not breathe properly. Natural breathing involves your diaphragm, a large muscle in your abdomen. Over time, people forget how to breathe this way.
Stress is an unavoidable part of life. From time to time, everyone experiences increased levels of stress. However, if left unaddressed, stress can continue to build and affect your health and ability to cope.
Grieving a loss, whether it is a loved one, family member, friend or co-worker, is difficult and painful. When we lose someone close to us, we go through a process of grieving and mourning.
What happens to you following a distressing or traumatic incident is a personal thing. You and your family, friends or co-workers may have different feelings and reactions to the same incident.
Anyone can become a victim of a crime. If it happens to you or someone you love, there are some important points to remember.
Disasters are upsetting experiences for everyone involved. The emotional toll that disaster brings can sometimes be even more devastating than the financial strains of damage and loss of home, business or personal property.
