Resilience noun /rɪˈzɪliəns/ 1. the ability of people or things to recover quickly after something unpleasant, such as shock, injury, etc. 2. the ability of a substance to return to its original shape after it has been bent, stretched or pressed Oxford Learner’s Dictionary |
Trees that are wind-resistant are not the ones that are the most rigid and tough. Actually, plants that do best in storms are those can flex and sway in strong winds and return to its original position afterwards. In this difficult and uncertain time, it is fine and normal to feel down, anxious, lost or helpless. But we need to find ways to build resilience, or in other words, be able to recover and “return to our original shape”, just like trees.
There are several components for resilience such as the skills to propel yourself forward and achieve your goals, a strong and calm inner-self that allow you to keep calm and stay focused during bad times and peers and friends who share your feelings and support your every step.
