Resilience is one's ability to adapt in a healthy way to life's challenges. People with resilience are able to "bounce back" after something goes wrong, to learn from their experiences and continue to move forward with their goals despite the stress.

Everyone has the ability to become more resilient by learning and practicing new thoughts and behaviors.
