Accepted Answer

Resilience refers to the capacity of individuals to withstand or bounce back quickly from difficult conditions, such as trauma, adversity, stress, or tragedy. It involves maintaining or regaining mental health and well-being in the face of challenges. Resilient people are able to utilize their skills and strengths to cope and recover from problems and challenges, which may include job loss, financial problems, illness, natural disasters, medical emergencies, divorce, or the death of a loved one. Instead of falling into despair or hiding from problems with unhealthy coping strategies, resilient people face life's difficulties head-on. This does not mean they experience less distress, grief, or anxiety than other people do. It means they handle such difficulties in ways that foster strength and growth. In addition, resilience can also involve profound personal growth. While adverse events are certainly painful and difficult, they don't have to determine the outcome of one's life. There's often room for change, and resilient people tend to find a way to make that change happen.
