In order to increase your resilience, it’s important to know what aspects of resilience you most need to work on.
In the first part of this exercise, you are instructed to rate yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 in terms of several elements of resiliency, including:
1. Support from other people in your life.
2. Ability to accept yourself for who you really are.
3. Your confidence in your ability to cope with adversity.
4. How good you are with communicating and interacting with others in times of stress.
5. How good you are at facing challenging problems in life and solving them systematically.
6. Ability to cope with your emotions in the face of adversity.
Now you add up your total score and review your ratings on each element. If you rated any elements above one, think about what made you give it a rating above 1 and what you could do to get the score closer to 10.
Doing this exercise will help you to recognize where you are in terms of resilience and identify where you can improve from your current state of resilience.
