How to Build Your Resilience
A Word From Verywell

Content: Sense of Humor
People strong in emotional resilience can laugh at life’s difficulties . This can be a tremendous asset, as it shifts one's perspective from seeing things as a threat to seeing them as a challenge, and this alters how the body reacts to stress. They also get a good laugh more often, and this brings benefits as well. Perspective
Resilient people can learn from their mistakes (rather than deny them), see obstacles as challenges, and allow adversity to make them stronger. They can also find meaning in life’s challenges rather than seeing themselves as victims.​
Spirituality
Being connected to your spiritual side has been linked with stronger emotional resilience, especially if you're internally connected and not just going through the motions of attending services. ( This doesn't mean that people who aren't spiritual can't be resilient, only that this connection has been found.) How to Build Your Resilience
There are steps you can take to improve your resilience. These include: Build connections with other people. Prioritize your relationships and reach out to others by joining community-based groups in your area.
