What is resilience? Simply put, resilience is the ability to bounce back, to thrive and to grow though life’s bumpy spots.
One way to think of it is like this. I was an architect in California where buildings had to survive earthquakes. To do that your building had to have three things: a stable, solid foundation; a strong, resilient structure; and a good connection between the structure and the foundation. With those three things, a building can handle an earthquake, wind and other loads without collapsing.
Similarly, a resilient person is someone whose life path has given them a strong, emotional foundation and a good structure (a well-regulated nervous system) so that no matter what happens (almost), they can deal with it and come back from it. I say ‘almost’ because with enough pressure, anyone can be pushed beyond their limits. Resilience does not mean indestructible.
