Why do some people go through hard times better? Because they have resilience—the ability to get back up and stay strong. Good news! Resilience can be learnt, not just born with. Here are five tips to build resilience.
Stay connected
Don’t face problems alone. Talk to people you trust—friends, parents or teachers. Adults may not understand everything, but they’ve also faced challenges and can offer helpful advice. Also, consider joining school clubs or sports teams—being part of a community builds support and confidence.
Take control
When facing difficulties or uncertainty, take small steps to regain a sense of control. Just do small things like making the bed. Pay attention to what you can change, not what you can’t.
Express yourself
Sometimes, it’s just too hard to talk to someone about how you feel. If talking isn’t working, try other ways to let out your emotions(情感) like keeping a diary or creating art.
Take care of yourself
Be sure to look after yourself. Getting enough sleep is very important. If you don’t, you may get angry and nervous easily when you have to stay sharp(机敏的). A well-rested body and mind deal better with challenges.
Look at the big picture
Your problem seems huge now, but bad times won’t last. You’ve driven away fears before—you can do it again! Simple skills can help: picturing calm places, listening to favourite music, or just breathing slowly. Life changes, but important things stay.
Developing resilience is a personal journey. Each challenge makes you more resilient, though you don’t see it yet. Just like building muscles(肌肉), resilience grows stronger with practice. Remember to ask for help when you need it. This is also a sign of strength.
