Resilience is going to be an overriding theme for 2022. The ability to bounce back from anything—from the ordinary to the extraordinary—is truly an art. It’s also a science. So how do we become more resilient?

First, let’s understand what it means. Resilience isn’t a genetic trait, it’s a learned quality. It is a set of coping mechanisms. Research has found that this quality is determined by the people we surround ourselves with, how we take care of ourselves and each other, and the steps we take to find meaning and purpose in our lives, in our relationships, and in the events that happen to us and ultimately define us.
