What is Resilience?
Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.
Think of it like a tree that bends in a storm but doesn't break. Resilience is not about avoiding stress, but about learning how to navigate through it and recover from it.
