• Life has a way of throwing you a curveball at
  times. Rather than leave yourself at the mercy of
  chance, why not act by preparing in advance for
  difficult scenarios? By doing so, you stand a
  greater chance of moving past lifes challenges
  quickly.
• Build Resilience Through Decisive, Thoughtful
  Actions
• One way to do that is by building resilience
  through decisive, thoughtful action. The American
  Psychological Association (APA) recommends
  keeping things in perspective and taking decisive
  actions that are well thought-through. Adversity
  isnt something that you can avoid but it is
  something you can do something about. Getting
  stuck and hoping that someone else will handle
  your problems isnt the best approach.

• Lean on Your Support System in Times of Need
• Other ways to become more resilient include
  creating a support group of trusted family,
  friends, and mental health professionals. Seeking
  therapy and counseling during tough times allows
  you to work through the problem quicker. Its a
  time that the APA states is ripe for
  self-discovery.
• Build Confidence with Each Decision You Make
• Allowing yourself to problem solve without
  judgment is also advisable. Be confident in your
  ability to overcome whatever adverse situation
  youre facing.

• Turn your worries over to your therapist or
  counselor because talking about your problems
  helps you identify ways to change their outcome.
• Mental Preparation Makes Things Seem Less
  Harrowing
• You may not be able to steer clear of all of
  lifes upsets. You can, however, navigate through
  them successfully by working on your resilience
  in the above ways. When youre mentally prepared,
  challenging situations are a lot less harrowing.

• Conquer Your Fears and Come Up with the Best
  Possible Solution
• Take the time you need to feel safe and be
  thoughtful, and you can deal with the
  difficulties you face with greater ease. Youll
  have the right tools on hand and coping
  mechanisms available to help you with your
