- So resiliency is defined as the ability

00:06.930 --> 00:09.660
to adapt during adversity,

00:09.660 --> 00:12.743
stressful situations, trauma and tragedy.

00:14.150 --> 00:16.780
We all know that we use
our resilience during that,

00:16.780 --> 00:18.300
we bounce back,

00:18.300 --> 00:21.028
but you may not know about resiliency,

00:21.028 --> 00:23.623
is it's also a prime
opportunity for growth.

00:24.620 --> 00:26.860
resiliency isn't a skill
that you either have

00:26.860 --> 00:28.580
or you don't have.

00:28.580 --> 00:30.850
It's something that you can actually grow

00:30.850 --> 00:34.420
and learn through actions,
thoughts and behaviors.

00:34.420 --> 00:38.320
As such, just like you

what relationships are you having?

00:53.670 --> 00:55.993
are they worth your time and effort?

00:57.250 --> 00:58.670
fostering your wellness.

00:58.670 --> 01:02.110
That means physically,
doing physical exercise,

01:02.110 --> 01:05.020
going to the doctor, going to the dentist,

01:05.020 --> 01:07.400
it means practicing your
mental health skills,

01:07.400 --> 01:11.400

grounding, centering,

01:11.400 --> 01:15.200

01:15.200 --> 01:17.940

avoid negative, risky behaviors.

01:27.350 --> 01:29.040

Make goals around them,

01:38.700 --> 01:41.500
structure your time to be
spent on those things that

01:41.500 --> 01:42.793
are important to you.

01:47.030 --> 01:49.420
Embracing healthy thoughts,

01:49.420 --> 01:52.170
that means keeping things in perspective,

01:52.170 --> 01:56.593
keeping a positive outlook,
learning from the past.

01:58.490 --> 02:00.680
Last but certainly not least,

02:00.680 --> 02:02.830
is reaching out for help when you're stuck

"life doesn't get easier
or more forgiving,

02:33.300 --> 02:35.577
We get more resilient and stronger."
