So, what exactly resilience is.
It is the ability to bounce back from adversity with flexibility & strength despite
challenges.
Resilience means just getting back up one time more than getting knocked down.
For instance: For instance: The cloth part of a trampoline is very strong and doesn’t
stretch. But the springs are flexible and can stretch. Together, this strength and flexibility
help the trampoline bounce back. That’s what makes it resilient.
Slide 4
So now, let’s move on to talk about 3 invaluable tools to boost your resilience.
The first trait of resilient people is adopting a Growth Mindset.
Lý thuyết:
- Interpret challenges not as fixed barriers but as opportunities for growth and self-
improvement.
- a "growth mindset" — the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through
effort, learning, and perseverance
- Reframe adversity as a temporary experience
Example: When someone loses their job, they may feel discouraged and think it's a difficult time.
However, they can choose to see it as an opportunity to grow. They might say, 'I can learn new
skills, try something new, and improve myself.' By taking an online or offline course and
continuing to look for new opportunities, they increase their chances of success.
Sumary:
- it's a growth mindset it's an attitude that if I don't have the skills now I can learn them.
if I come across a problem that I don't know how to solve, I will learn the skills to solve
that problem
Resilient individuals tend to interpret challenges not as fixed barriers but as opportunities
for growth and self-improvement.
interpret = /ɪnˈtɜː.prɪt/
When faced with challenges, instead of thinking ‘This is the end,’ a resilient person might say,
‘What can I learn from this?’
This perspective is central to what psychologist Carol Dweck (2006) defines as a "growth
mindset" — the belief that abilities and intelligence can can be developed through effort,
learning, and perseverance /ˌpɝː.səˈvɪr.əns/
Individuals with a growth mindset reframe adversity as a temporary experience. This helps
them stay motivated and keep going.
Slide 5
Social support is One of the strongest predictors of recovery from stress and trauma.
Predictor = /prɪˈdɪk.tɚ/
Strong social relationships not only encourage people to express and process their emotions, but
also provide tangible support and a reminder that one is not alone in during difficult time
Slide 6
Practice Self-Compassion
Self-compassion — the act of treating oneself with kindness, understanding, and acceptance
during times of failure or suffering.. Rather than engaging in harsh self-criticism, self-
compassion involves recognizing that imperfection is a shared human experience, and that
suffering and personal setbacks are part of life.
Self-compassion allows individuals to recover faster from setbacks, maintain motivation to keep
going.
/ˌsaɪ.kəˈlɑː.dʒɪ.kəl/ = psychological
Slide 7
To sum up, resilience is the ability to overcome challenging events and we can build this ability
by learning from challenges with a growth mindset, cultivating relationships with others, and
being kind to ourselves. By following these tools, we can become more resilient in the face of
hardship. Thanks for listening.
