7 Components of Resilience
About Lesson

Resilience is the ability to withstand, adapt and grow in the face of stress and adversity. It is an ability that we all have to some degree. Some people are more resilient than others and some people have to work harder at it. There are two key components to resilience – healthy coping skills and being solution oriented. 

The first component of resilience is healthy coping skills. 

This means having a repertoire of ways to deal with stressful situations. Some people cope by talking to friends or family, while others exercise or meditate. The important thing is to find what works for you and to use these coping mechanisms before they become too overwhelming. 

The second component of resilience is being solution oriented.

This means instead of dwelling on the problem, you focus on finding a solution. One way to do this is to brainstorm different possible solutions and then choose the one that you think will work best. Another way to be solution oriented is to think about times when you have faced similar challenges in the past and how you coped with them. 

Resilience is an ability that we all have to some degree. Some people are more resilient than others and some people have to work harder at it and take time and deliberate effort to develop this important skill. Two key aspects of resilience are healthy coping skills and being solution oriented. By developing these skills, you can increase your resilience in the face of stress and adversity.

Components Of Healthy Coping Skills 

Stress is a normal and necessary part of life. It’s what helps us meet deadlines, finish projects, and achieve our goals. But when stress becomes overwhelming, it can have negative consequences on our physical and mental health. That’s why it’s so important to have healthy coping skills in place to help us manage stress in a productive way.

There are three key components to healthy stress management: managing stress, regulating emotions, and problem-solving. Let’s take a closer look at each one.

Managing Stress

The first step to managing stress is to identify your triggers. What are the situations or circumstances that cause you to feel overwhelmed? Once you know what your triggers are, you can develop a plan for how to deal with them.

For example, if you know that you get stressed out when you have a lot of deadlines at work, you can develop a system for prioritizing your time and tasks so that you’re less likely to feel overwhelmed.

Regulating Emotions

The next step is learning how to regulate your emotions. This means recognizing when you’re starting to feel overwhelmed and finding healthy ways to cope with those feelings. Some people find that exercise or meditation helps them to regulate their emotions during times of stress. Others find journaling or talking to a friend to be helpful. Experiment with different coping strategies until you find something that works for you.

Problem Solving

The final component of healthy stress management is problem-solving. This means being proactive about solving the problems that are causing you to stress instead of just trying to tough it out or ignoring the problem altogether.

If you’re constantly feeling stressed because you’re not getting enough sleep, for example, then developing a bedtime routine or cutting back on caffeine could help solve the problem.”

Stress is a normal part of life, but it’s important to have healthy coping skills in place so that it doesn’t start to adversely affect your physical and mental health. By understanding these three coping skills and putting them into practice, you’ll be on your way to managing stress in a more productive way.”
