Resilienceresilience

Resilience is the capacity to recover to balance after a difficulty or a shock. This is not being unaffected by hardship but being able to put oneself back together afterward; a resilient nervous system finds its way back to calm after being shaken. This capacity is not fixed; it can grow stronger with experience and practice. Resilience lets a person pass through the middle of difficulties and rise again. To be able to recover is often a more realistic strength than not being shaken.
