This reflective exercise is designed to help you think about your own overall resilience at the moment. It will help you think about areas where you can improve and where you might want to focus as you work through the further modules in this
series.
You can return to this exercise on, say, a monthly basis to help you track the development of your resilience as you learn more about this important subject.
Assessing your own resilience
Consider your response to the following questions. You may like to make notes.
How would you rate your own resilience at the moment? Are you feeling generally well and in balance or are you more easily knocked off course than usual?
What aspects of your own resilience would you like to improve? These might be emotional aspects (e.g. handling anxiety, feeling more confident to ask for what you want etc.) or more psychological (e.g. managing negative thought processes,
becoming less reactive under stress).
Think about the people you know and those you work with.
Are there any individuals who seem particularly resilient?
What do you notice about how they handle themselves?
