Exercise - Learning from your own experience of resilience

We can build our resilience in many ways. Try this quick personal review:

1. Reflect on 2 or 3 times when you have had to draw deep on your own inner strengths to get you through a difficult situation. They can be recent or way back in time.
2. What did you do to overcome or bounce back from these challenges? What inner strengths helped you through?
3. What can you learn about yourself from these reflections? Note down some strengths do you already have to help you cope when the going gets tough?
4. How can you use these strengths to build your resilience?
