R for Resilience | Boost Your Emotional Resilience

The Z to A of Life

Monday, 5 February 2024 - 17 minutes

Jules and Mark are here to talk about ways to build your emotional resilience in order to cope with life's pressures and stresses.

Don't panic! That's a phrase we hear a lot, but what's your emotional response to that? Probably to panic some more. Don't worry, the due date isn't until next week... Keep calm, it's just an exam... Relax, you can't change anything now.

We face countless situations every day that we don't want to be in. It's only natural for our fight or flight response to kick in and sometimes, make us want to run away. 

Emotional resilience is the mental strength to understand how you feel and how to stay in control. You might feel panicked, but your mind can acknowledge what has happened and allow you to focus on the task instead.
