Building Resilience: Habits That Strengthen You

Resilience is not something we’re born with — it’s something we build. It grows through the small, intentional habits we develop every day. Practices like maintaining a routine, writing in a gratitude journal, staying physically active, and surrounding yourself with positive influences are all ways to strengthen your ability to bounce back. Just like a muscle, the more you train resilience, the stronger it becomes. Consider incorporating a simple daily affirmation like, “I am growing through what I’m going through.” Another great habit is checking in with yourself — journaling your emotions and wins each week. These habits build confidence and help you shift your focus from defeat to growth.
