Resilience is typically defined as the ability to strongly cope with a crisis and be back to the normal state quickly. It mainly refers to dealing with an adverse situation through calmness thus maintaining a kind of balance.
The research on resilience focuses on those who live their lives with hope despite suffering devastating losses. It's vital to remember that resilience entails not simply overcoming a very stressful event, but also emerging with "competent functioning."
And in recent times, it has become very crucial for us individuals to build emotional resilience within ourselves.
