Catch yourself when you’re slipping into stress-inducing patterns of thinking.

We have to find ways to cultivate the confidence and assurance that we can handle a situation.

It's the skill that enables us to recover quickly from difficulties. It means adapting well in the face of trauma, tragedy or significant stress.

The primary factor in resilience is having supportive relationships, inside and outside the family. 

Building resilience isn’t just about weathering the storm; it’s also about looking for the everyday joys that make life worth living. 

Remind yourself of what is going well in your life. Consider the best and worst that could happen.

The way we view a potentially stressful situation can either make the crisis worse in our mind or minimize it. 

Don’t allow yourself to become paralyzed, numb or detached during a crisis situation or a traumatic event. And don’t wait for someone else to come and save the day.
