Resilience is the ability to cope with unexpected challenges, stressors, and changes in life. Although it is not always feasible to avoid stressful or adverse situations, you can improve your ability to deal with them. Being resilient helps individuals deal with pressure, challenges and change more effectively.

Resilience is the ability to cope with adversity by drawing on your inner strength and enlisting the help of others. Resilience can help you deal with adversity while also maintaining good mental health.

A resilient individual overcomes obstacles by relying on personal resources, strengths, and other positive psychological capital capacities such as hope, optimism, and self-efficacy.

Resiliency is often described as "bouncing back" to a normal state of functioning after overcoming a crisis. Being able to bounce back from setbacks is also linked to happiness.
