5 Questions for Determining Your Resiliency Level

Do You Know Your Resiliency Level?

Life is full of ups and downs, but for many of us, 2020 proved to be the most tumultuous year yet! When challenging experiences inevitably arise, you’ll want to be ready to rise to the occasion. Isn’t it time for your comeback? Your ability to bounce back after a transition or hardship determines whether most of your life is enjoyable, meaningful, or troublesome and frustrating.

This idea can be summed up in one word: resiliency. The more resilient you are, the quicker you’re able to re-adjust to a situation and move forward in life.

Consider these ideas you think about your own resiliency:

1. First responses. When something initially begins to trouble you, how do you respond?

Maybe you bury your head in the sand and hope it goes away. Perhaps you ignore the situation and pretend it isn’t happening.

If you’re resilient, you’ll choose to approach the situation head-on and promptly. You’ll define the issue, consider your options, and make a plan. You’ll set out right away to resolve the situation before it becomes a full-blown issue.

Promptly employing problem-solving skills will help you avoid a major meltdown.

2. Approach to past events. Do you try to forget about your former challenges?

Instead, try applying what you learned from them to navigate present or future situations. When you reflect on what you’ve been through, you’ll think about the mistakes you made. But, you’ll also be excited about how well you handled some situations and use those same skills again.

The energy required to try to forget something important draws heavily from your present resilience, wearing it down. Alternatively, focusing your energies on the lessons and skills you’ve learned from past experiences builds your inner strength.

3. Daily practice. Do you work to accomplish something, however small, each day? Or do you find yourself watching entire days go by while you sit and brood or feel sad or angry?

To improve your resilience, consider each day an opportunity to do something positive, even if it’s just one thing.

On a day off, this might be something as simple as going for a walk or cleaning the living room. Today, your practice could even be finishing a novel or calling a friend you haven’t talked to in ages. What you do with your life each day provides meaning for you.

4. Your support network. Do you have plenty of friends and family to call on if you need something?

Resilient individuals build a supportive system of people they can visit, call, talk to, and turn to whenever they hit troubled waters.

If you feel like you’re all alone, start building your support network today by setting a goal to make one new friend within the next month. All sisters are more than welcomed to join our DEW Tribe to start finding those connections.

5. Who matters to you most? Do you treat yourself as if you’re the most important person in your life?

When you take care of your own needs, you’ll be more resilient when a crisis knocks on the door. If your own health and living situation are at the top of your priority list, you’ll be prepared to face any hardship, be it emotional or physical.

Taking the time to keep yourself in tip-top shape physically and mentally builds your resilience reserves whenever trying situations and events occur.

Final Thoughts

Challenges, transitions, and hardships will invariably arise in your life from time to time. If you confront situations immediately, use the knowledge gained from previous trying events, and build your support network, you’ll be on your way to constructing resilience for the future.

Do one small thing for yourself each day, and before you know it, you’ll weather any storm with ease!
