RESILIENCE

“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.”
by : Steve Maraboli
This phrase tells us that we have to learn to overcome the problems that come our way during our life and
we should never leave problems unresolved.

Sometimes it seems that life puts us to the test and we must face difficulties such as a serious illness, the
death of a loved one, financial problems, and many others, there are different circumstances that can push
us to our limit and make us question whether we have the willpower necessary to continue forward, then we
have two options: give up and fail or overcome and continue to be strengthened using our resilience
capacity.

This concept “resilience” is a term that derives from Latin, resilience actually means to return to our
previous state or to our natural state, especially after going through some critical or unusual situation.

People who are more resilient are likely to be better at solving problems, ask for help when they need it, and
have a can-do attitude.

On the other hand, people who are less resilient are likely to struggle under pressure, experience symptoms
of anxiety and depression, and often feel sad when things go wrong.

Mexico knows what resilience is like no other country because we have lived through many complicated
situations. Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, extreme poverty and even a global pandemic, for this reason a
test was conducted to 3000 Mexicans and an average of 65% of resilience was obtained. A fairly high level,
which confirms the belief that Mexicans can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

This test demonstrated the resilience capacity of Mexicans, since Mexico ranks third in resilience,
surpassed by Chile and Colombia.

Resilience is the capacity with which we must face adversity by coming out stronger, and reaching a state of
personal equilibrium.

In psychology, resilience corresponds to the capacity we have to face our own problems, overcoming
obstacles and not giving in to pressure regardless of the situation, is the quality we show to overcome
periods of emotional pain and trauma involving restructuring our psychological resources according to the
new circumstances, and our needs.

In this way resilient people are not only able to overcome the adversities that they have had to live, but they
are able to go one step further in the process of overcoming them.

For resilient people there is no such thing as a hard life, only difficult moments

It is a different and more optimistic way of looking at the world because they are somehow aware that after
the storm comes the calm. These people often surprise us with their good humor and make us wonder how
it is possible that after all they have been through they can face life with a smile on their lips.

Resilience is not a fixed trait, but rather a skill that can be developed over time:
how to be more resilient:
● know your strengths and abilities: (this allows you to know what you are capable of and what you
can achieve through resilience.)

● take difficulties as learning: (this helps you see problems in a different light and take advantage of
them.)

● Learn from difficult experiences: (this helps you to see problems as a new experience).

Resilient people are better equipped to navigate life's challenges, maintain positive emotions, and recover
from setbacks. They demonstrate higher levels of self-efficacy, optimism, and problem-solving skills, which
contribute to their ability to adapt and thrive in adverse situations.Some people even consider resilience to
be a superpower that few people have.

Now I ask you, have you used resilience as your superpower?
