    Just because you have struggled to navigate what life has thrown at you in the past, does not mean you can\u2019t better manage the unpredictable and stressful things you might face in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What Is Emotional Resilience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The American Psychological Association defines emotional resilience as \u201cthe process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dealing with such things is understandably challenging, but they don\u2019t have to shape your entire life in a negative way. The more resilient you are, the more you can learn to bounce back and actually experience personal growth from the adversities you face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is not to say that emotional resilience is about winning every battle. Even people who already have a high emotional resilience can still experience distress and find themselves on the \u201closing end\u201d of a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Resilience isn\u2019t about winning; it\u2019s about perseverance. If something knocks you down, your resilience is what enables you to keep pushing forward despite what losses you might have faced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
