How Do You Bounce Back From Tough Situations? Be More Tigger!
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from tough situations and to avoid becoming a victim of helplessness.
Being resilient can help you manage stress, lower your chances of depression, and has even been proven to make people live longer.
You may feel like you’ve had so much bad luck that it’s impossible to come out strong on the other end, but that stops here. Once you learn to seize your life by the reins and prepare for the unexpected, you’ll be on your way to being a more resilient person — and to living a happier, more purpose-filled life.
Increasing your resilience can be attained by coping healthfully with difficult emotions and situations, engaging in resilient actions, thinking resiliently, and maintaining your resilience in the long-term.
