What is a resilient person? A resilient person is one who can bounce back after any difficult situation. Life is unpredictable, and we do not know when something will strike us and throw us off balance.
During such situations, it is more than important to maintain calm and composed, to wait for the storm to pass or to look for a way out. Resilience is the deciding factor that determines success or failure, which is to follow after a moment of crisis.
While resilience can come as a natural quality to many people, it might take conscious effort and practice to master the art of staying calm and resilient. However, the good thing is that there are a number of small things that can be practiced in daily life to help us get a bit closer to being resilient.

Having a sense of purpose in life
When a tragedy or crisis hits, a common reaction is to lose the sense of reality and go further downhill in turmoil. Having a purpose in life acts as an anchor that can keep us grounded.
It can mean anything from being connected to society, doing some community service, practicing spirituality, or even participating in activities that are of some significance to the person, be it sports or music.

Believing in oneself
No matter what situation is culminating around us or what life has thrown at us, having the belief in self that one can handle the stress and the turmoil and come out victorious can make a difference in life.
Silencing the negative comments in one’s head is the most important aspect of it since, even if we do not realize, at times, we can be our hardest critic. The negative comments in our heads can be replaced with positive affirmations that imply that anything is possible and brighter days are ahead.

Having a strong social network
It is important to have loving and caring people around a person whom we can confide in. While just talking about a problem can relieve a lot of stress, oftentimes, simple discussions can even bring out solutions to some problem that might be bogging someone down for long.
Having a loving and caring support system is a great emotional support that helps in cruising through any difficult times or phases with much ease.

Being open to changes
The saying that change is the only constant is not just a proverb for the sake of it.
Life is dynamic, and changes are a part of it, and some changes may even present themselves in the form of a crisis. A part of being resilient is being open and adaptive to changes.
Instead of looking at the crisis for what it is, it can be looked upon as an opportunity to branch out and explore the other avenues of life.
Being positive
Perhaps one of the hardest things to master is remaining optimistic in the face of crisis. However, contrary to some beliefs, being optimistic does not mean denying the problem.
Instead, it simply implies acknowledging the problem and trying to look for a solution while believing that it is a temporary phase in life and will pass on.
Taking care of the self
Stress and anxiety can often make someone ignore themselves and their needs. However, it is this time when it is more than important to be in good mental and physical health to battle out any situation.
No matter how difficult it may seem, getting enough sleep, proper exercise, and sticking to a healthy lifestyle help go a long way.
