[00:00:00]The level of resilience someone has correlates with stronger neural connections linked with self-awareness, self-evaluation, flexible emotional control, and positive affect, and also with weaker connections related to negative rumination.

[00:00:16]In other words, resilience is connected to how your brain operates, and because the brain is plastic, that can change.

[00:00:24]And why is this important? Well, resilience is connected to mental performance under stress. High achievers with greater resilience are calmer, they can make decisions with clarity, they can lean into problem-solving rather than avoiding to face those problems when the stakes are high and the pressure is on.

[00:00:42]Let's find out what are some ways you can build resilience. Here are five ways in which you can train yourself to become more resilient. First off, we have the body aspect. Sleep, exercise, breathwork, and nutrition are important.

[00:00:55]They are the foundation. You cannot build mental resilience if you're physically drained. The second is mind or mindset, where self-compassion, growth mindset, gratitude, reframing stressful thoughts come into play.

[00:01:09]The third is relationships. Here we're talking about strengthening relationships, developing non-judgment, developing compassion and forgiveness, and also gratitude.

[00:01:19]The fourth is about goal-setting and acknowledging progress. Here, set achievable goals and also celebrate small wins along the way.

[00:01:27]This helps maintain motivation and a sense of progress and builds your ability to handle future problems. And the fifth is using your strength in difficult situations. This can boost confidence and enable you to solve problems effectively. The more intentionally you train resilience, the less time it takes to recover.

[00:01:48]So, I want to leave you with a question.

[00:01:50]When you face a difficult moment, which of these five things do you already apply, and which one do you tend to neglect the most? Let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear from you.
