Want to know how to improve your resilience? Then you’re in the right place!
With the outbreak of Coronavirus, it’d be fair to assume that the majority of people’s resilience would be well and truly tested right now. In May 2019, everydayhealth.com, along with wellness researchers at the Ohio State University conducted a national survey called The State of Resilience. 3,583 people aged 13 to 73 took the survey.
The results showed that most Americans misjudged their resilience. 83% percent of those questioned thought they had “high levels of mental and emotional resilience”, but when tested, only 57% scored as “resilient”! We can only imagine what the figures would be like if this survey was done post-coronavirus.
I chatted about resilience in the previous episode of The Resilient Type podcast, and shared a tool that can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to resilience. It’s called The Resilience Quiz and if you haven’t taken it yet, I suggest you give it a go before you listen to this episode. You can find The Resilience Quiz in the resource library. Take the quiz now. I can wait!
