Developing Your Resilience For Stronger Self-confidence (audio)
Resilience refers to both the process and the outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, according to the definition from the American Psychological Association (APA).
Resilience is not about being happy all the time and not feeling affected by tough times. Conversely, it is centred around the core belief that you will get through those difficult times.
People who lack resilience tend to dwell on problems, become overwhelmed or turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as avoidance or procrastination. On the other hand, resilient people typically pick up the pieces quicker after adversity. They are more likely to learn from their mistakes, move on, and try again.
Building resilience can enhance your self-confidence, as the experience of successfully navigating challenges can reinforce your self-belief.
