The Well of Resilience

Resilience or emotional resilience is our ability to deal with adverse events in life that cause pressure or stress. I like to think of resilience as being like water in a well:

We only have so much resilience within us, like there is only so much water in a well. Adverse events cause us to use our resilience water by the bucket loads. But there is good news.

We can make it rain to add more resilience water to the well or just top it up a little at any time. We can do this by: Taking a Break, Relaxation, Hobbies & Interests, Spending Time in Nature, Practising Meditation or Mindfulness, Spending Time with Family / Friends / Animals and Listening to Music.
