Cultivating Resilience

Cultivating Resilience

Life can be hard and feel full of set-backs. These take a toll on our individual and collective mental health and lead to burnout. Cultivating resilience is understood as a key pillar for mental wellbeing.

Having ‘resilience’ doesn’t mean being unshakable.

Resilience is in fact defined, by some, as bounce-back-ability, with rest.

Cultivating resilience is a practice and takes time. It is important to cultivate self-compassion along the way too.

Helpful resources on Resilience can be found through youth mental health organisation, SpunOut.ie. https://spunout.ie/mental-health/self-care/pmh-resilience-and-mental-health/

An insightful TED Talk on the topic of Self-compassion is available through this link  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvtZBUSplr4&t=62s

The HSE too have created free and accessible video content on the topic of Minding Your Wellbeing https://www.hse.ie/eng/about/who/healthwellbeing/about-us/minding-your-wellbeing.html which you might find helpful to explore.
