Life isn’t constantly easy. It is full of struggles. Change, in our personal and professional lives, doesn’t appear to be vanishing. There always seems to be something making us concerned. Maintaining calm and developing Resiliency is very critical.
Emotional resilience is when you can calm your raging mind after encountering an unpredictable situation. It is intrinsic motivation, an inner strength by which we can handle ourselves through all the downsides of life. The word ‘resilience’ originates from the Latin word ‘resilio’ that explains ‘to bounce back’ or rebound.
Emotional resilience is an art of living that is wrapped with self-belief, self-compassion, and improved consciousness. It is the way through which we allow ourselves to see difficulties as ‘temporary’ and keep growing stronger through the pain and difficulties.
A basic aspect of building emotional resilience is accepting the reality that everything is interlinked and unpredictable at the same time. For example, building resilience at work would also make you resilient in your relationships, and vice versa.
Here are 5 tips to build your emotional resilience & help yourself when going through tough times:
Self-Awareness
The ability to control our own feelings, internal conflicts, and perception of the world is termed Self Awareness. Through self-awareness, we get a deeper knowledge of how feelings contribute to our actions. Rather than looking for help outside, or criticizing others for our problems, self-awareness gives us the strength to look for solutions within us. By making us more aware of our inner self, it helps us to become more capable and conscious.
Emotional Control
People with higher levels of emotional and self-control can redirect and manage their feelings. They are less likely to be overwhelmed by stress or let it influence their lives. They think twice before taking any action and won’t climb fast into settling.
Persistence
Resilience helps a person increase their compliance and commitment to keep striving. Whether dealing with outside tension or managing internal conflicts, perseverance keeps the inner strength alive.
Flexible Thinking
Flexible thinking is an important aspect of mental health that contributes to the personal and professional achievement of any human being.
It is a dominant social skill that includes adjustability, rationality, happiness, and positive thinking. A person who has developed these skills through life experiences will be more emotionally resilient and can stay well-balanced in life.
Interpersonal Relations
Having healthy personal relationships is both an end result and a requisite for emotional resilience. If we have the power to build healthy interpersonal bonds at the personal or professional level, we have already taken one step ahead for a resilient life. We are social animals, and being encircled by people gives us the energy to overcome difficulties, survive them, and grow from them. For building emotional resilience in a broader context, we must have the ability to enhance our living interpersonal relationships and be open in developing new skills.
Why is building Resilience important?
When we are in a sensitive and unpredictable situation where we sense as if things are not in our control, it can be very challenging to find our stability or paddle against the wave, or, overcome and relive our life.
During challenging or stressful times, it is important for many reasons - it helps us to have emotional balance in our lives, and can also work as a shield in the development of some mental health struggles and problems and also it allows us to develop mechanisms for protection against events that could be overwhelming.
The benefits of Resilience:
The benefits of resiliency are many.
When faced with a challenge, resilience pushes us to gain knowledge, develop our skills, and value our talents to overcome and flourish.
With resilience, we can face struggles and rely on our strengths and succeed. Maybe things won’t turn out exactly the way we would like, but resilience will give us the strength to accept the outcome and move forward positively.
Moving ahead
Life will knock you down. However, it’s up to you whether or not to waste your time. Whatever you do, don’t give up. Wipe away the tears, get up and proceed to move forward. Your inner strength is the calm force within you that knows when to act and gives you the power to do so. Listen to it and believe that, no matter what follows, you’ve got this.
Resilience can differ from one person to the other, but mental strength and proven practical tactics can mean we can, not only survive, but grow, in the face of adversity.
