Emotional Resilience
Why do we need emotional resilience?
Stress is an inevitable part of our lives. From trying to get to work on time to dealing with an emotional trauma, we cope with these difficulties, differently. Some of us deal with these challenges somewhat effectively, while others develop debilitating mental and physical health issues. One of the key differentiators among these two kinds of individuals – to sustain wellbeing and balance in the face of hardship – is emotional resilience.
What is emotional resilience?
Emotional Resilience is one’s ability to respond to stressful situations rather than react to them. What does that mean? Imagine you are a stone at the bank of a flowing river. If you accept the flow, you will float away along with the river; if you resist the flow, it will break you; but if you ground yourself to the bank, the river will flow over you while you maintain your ground. That’s resilience.
In everyday life, say you receive a rejection letter from a job you applied for. You can either react to it by feeling dejected, under-confidence or sad (equivalent to flowing with the river); or feel worked up and go on trying to prove that you are worthy by applying incessantly for other jobs and feel exhausted (equivalent to allowing the river flow to break you); or you can ground yourself, neither react not accept but be in allowance of the situation and look for more possibilities.
How can you build emotional resilience?
Emotional resilience is a like a muscle that you build overtime. There are three key ingredients to building emotional resilience:
- The power of questions
“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I would spend 55 min to ask the right question.” – Albert Einstein.
Not asking a question, is one of the biggest mistakes we make while dealing with a stressful situation. We do the opposite. WE PRESUME the outcomes. We presume a reality which doesn’t even exist but does have the potential to be manifested. What we presume, gets manifested. Say, we keep thinking: “This is hard. This is hard. This is hard.” – Guess what? Hardships is what will keep showing up in your life. Our thoughts guide our reality. Negative thoughts attract negative situations.
The antidote to presumptions and negative thoughts is to be in the questions always. What else is possible here? When we ask a question, our mind and bodies open to receive information from the environment, guiding us to what will contribute to us. Asking questions is also a way to ground ourselves like the stone on the bank of the river. It keeps you in the present (not in the past or the future).
What can I do or be to have more ease with this? This question is to take charge of the situation and instead of expecting the situation to change. You ask what can you do differently to create the change you are looking for?
- Willingness to be or do anything
In 1985, Jobs was brutally fired from the company he had once founded, APPLE. He was out and he wasn’t planning to come back after he sold all his shares. What do you imagine he did next? He immersed himself in creating NeXT, a high-end workstation, which was magnificent flop. He didn’t give in or give up. He kept moving along his passion for digital images and animation and became an investor in Pixar. He provided Pixar with ideas and board supervision. However, that failed too with Pixar by 1991. It was only when the Toy Story movie franchise was born that Steve Jobs got back on his feet. He convinced Apple to buy NeXT as a bargain for his reinvolvement. He turned all his failures into success and never looked back.
Like in the case of Steve jobs, was he willing to fail? Yes. Was he willing to be rejected and cast aside? Yes. He didn’t resist failures or rejections or judgements. Here is the key. What we resist, persists. Willing to be and do things that we resist is a game changer.
Willingness is a mental state of allowance. You don’t have to physically do things you resist but go through with it in your mind and experience it in the body to let it end so you are free from the effect of it. It’s like what you do with your worst fears. None of our worst fears ever come true. Why? Because we have gone through with it in our heads and body, so it never actualizes in this reality.
- Body Awareness
Your mind can lie, body doesn’t. Body awareness is different from mind awareness. Mind is more of logic, computations, and rationale. Body awareness is do with intuition, subconscious, and emotional intelligence. We tend of override our body’s awareness most of the time. For example, even if we are not hungry, we force feed ourselves to not waste food or because it is the set time for a meal or that is what has been told to us by our nutritionist. If we were to listen to our bodies more, our mental, emotional, and physical health will improve dramatically.
There are several tools available to sharpen your body awareness including meditation, mindfulness, yoga, access bars, massages, or any other body touch-processes. Including one of these in your daily routine builds your emotional resilience and mental wellbeing.

I liked the example of asking better questions. I usually ask ‘Why me?’ when something goes wrong, and it just makes things worse. Now I’ll try asking ‘What can I learn from this?’ Really helpful insight
That part where you said our body shows stress before our mind notices… so true! I get headaches and chest heaviness but always ignore it. Your words reminded me to check in with myself more often
This came at the right time for me. I’m dealing with a breakup and my emotions are everywhere. When I read about allowing yourself to feel instead of resisting… it felt like someone finally understood. Thank you
I liked how you said emotional resilience can be built. For years I thought I’m just a sensitive person and I can’t change it. But this article gives me hope that I can improve how I handle situations
I could relate to this so much. We all act strong outside but break inside. The breathing and awareness technique you mentioned — I’m definitely going to try that when I feel drained. Beautifully written
Honestly, I’ve been struggling with stress from work and family. When you wrote about grounding ourselves instead of reacting instantly… that’s exactly what I need to practice. Thanks for giving practical steps, not just motivation
I never knew how much my overthinking was making life tougher for me until I read this. The example of the stone and the river really clicked sometimes I guess I’m the stone resisting everything. This gave me a new perspective
Good read. I liked how simple and clear your points were. We all go through tough phases but very few people talk about how to actually deal with them.
The way you wrote about everyday struggles really hit me. Sometimes we don’t realise how much pressure we carry. This gave me a little hope that it’s possible to heal slowly.
The part about asking better questions really resonated. I often ask ‘Why is this happening to me?’ and it only makes me anxious. Time to change that mindset
This hit home. I always ignore my feelings until they overwhelm me. Your tips on grounding and self-awareness feel so practical
Reading this made me realize how much I resist small daily challenges instead of flowing with them. I’m going to try being more patient with myself.
The examples you shared made it feel so real. I love the idea that resilience isn’t about ignoring pain but building the ability to rise after every fall. I’m going through a transition in my life and these insights came at the perfect moment.
I found this very relatable. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by emotions and judge myself for not “handling it better.” Your reminder that resilience is a process, built with patience and daily practice, gave me some relief. Thanks for sharing this perspective
This article really made me reflect on how I handle tough situations. I’ve always thought emotional resilience means staying strong, but the way you explained softness and self-compassion as a part of strength felt so comforting. I’m definitely going to try bringing more awareness into my reactions.
The example about carrying old emotional weight… yeah, that hit. I didn’t even know how much until this morning when one small message from someone I don’t talk to anymore messed up my whole mood. This post came at the exact right time
Your bit about self-awareness made me laugh because last week I realised I was irritated for hours just because I didn’t get enough sleep. Imagine fighting with the world when all I needed was a nap. Emotional resilience really does start from small things.
This reminded me of how I freeze when there’s conflict. Not fight or flight — just freeze. I never connected that to resilience. Thought something was wrong with me. Reading this made it feel more normal
I don’t usually comment on blogs, but this felt personal. My dad always told me to ‘be strong’ so I grew up hiding everything. Now I’m 30 and learning that resilience is not hiding. Wish someone said this earlier
Funny thing, I always thought I was ‘strong’ because I don’t cry. But last month I snapped at a colleague over a tiny comment and felt stupid afterwards. Your post made me realise maybe I’ve been avoiding emotions, not handling them
The line about ‘not absorbing everything’ hit me. I absorb EVERYTHING — from people’s moods to their tone. My therapist keeps telling me this too, but reading it here felt strangely validating.
I read this twice because the part about reacting from old memories… that’s exactly what happened during a conversation with my sister last week. She said something small but it triggered a 10-year-old argument in my head. Didn’t realise it was a resilience thing
This post weirdly reminded me of yesterday when I was standing in the kitchen staring at the sink full of dishes and suddenly felt like crying for no reason. I thought it was just tiredness, but now I realise it’s emotional stuff I keep brushing aside.
Your point about asking better questions instead of assuming the worst was very relatable. I’ve noticed how my mind builds stories when I’m stressed. This blog made me think about slowing down and responding differently.
I related a lot to the part about reacting from old patterns. It made me realise how often I respond out of habit, not awareness. Your writing made the idea of resilience feel much more personal and doable.
his post really helped me understand why I get overwhelmed so quickly. The way you explained emotional resilience made it feel like something I can actually build over time, not something I’m supposed to “just have
I’ve been feeling very disconnected from myself lately. Reading this felt like a small grounding moment that I really needed today
Not going to lie, I felt emotional reading this. We rarely talk about this side of ourselves so openly. Thank you for writing this
I liked that this blog wasn’t full of fake positivity. It felt real and practical, like something I could slowly apply in my own life.
This wasn’t just another motivational article. It actually felt like someone understands what silent emotional struggle feels like
Honestly, I read this twice. Some lines really stayed with me because that’s exactly how my brain works when things feel heavy.
Nice read. Made me reflect on how I handle stress in daily life.
Simple and practical. I could relate to most of this, especially controlling reactions
This felt very real. I’m trying to work on my emotional strength slowly and this helped
I didn’t expect this to hit so close. Lately I’ve been feeling very tired mentally but this post made me feel like maybe I’m not weak, just human
Thank you for this — exactly what I needed to read today. Emotional resilience often feels intangible, but you’ve broken it down into simple, understandable terms. I’m going to try staying more present and curious (ask questions!) rather than getting carried away by stress
Very well articulated. I like how emotional resilience here is not painted as a superpower but a learnable skill. The stone-in-the-river metaphor will stay with me for a long time. Thank you for these insights
Beautifully described. I’ve always heard about ‘staying strong,’ but this article shows that true emotional resilience is more about grounding and adapting than suppressing feelings. Thank you for making it relatable and actionable.
Insightful article! I often react emotionally to setbacks, but your explanation of emotional resilience as a response, not a reaction, makes total sense. I appreciate how you framed resilience as something we can build over time — gives me hope and clarity
Such a heartfelt write-up. The part about self-compassion hit me the most. I’m always too hard on myself, and this reminded me that resilience doesn’t grow in pressure — it grows in kindness. Loved this message!
This post flowed so naturally and made a lot of sense. I realised while reading that I tend to bottle up my emotions thinking it makes me stronger. But you explained beautifully why acknowledging them actually builds real resilience. Thank you for this perspective.
What stood out to me was the reminder that resilience isn’t about ‘being strong’ all the time. I grew up thinking that showing emotion is a weakness. This gave me a new perspective — that responding wisely is actually stronger than shutting down.
This article made me realise how quickly I jump into overthinking and worst-case scenarios. The body-awareness example was surprisingly practical. I tried it while reading and noticed how tightly I always hold my shoulders. Never connected that with stress before
Honestly, I didn’t expect to relate this much. The part about how we ‘freeze’ inside our bodies without noticing hit me hard. I’ve been doing that for years during stress. This made me pause and actually check what my body is doing right now. Such a grounding read
Beautifully written and thought‑provoking! It’s rare to see a therapy approach that acknowledges how family lineage and ancestral trauma might influence our ambition and inner pressures. This article is a gentle invitation to self-awareness and compassion for our past.
I appreciate how this post emphasizes that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of emotional health. Family Constellation for high‑achieving women — it feels like reclaiming authenticity instead of chasing external validation. Thanks for shedding light on this hidden dimension of healing.
This article offered clarity I didn’t know I needed. The way you explain inherited fears, perfectionism and over-responsibility really struck a chord. I love the suggestion to journal and reflect on ancestral patterns — a simple step, but possibly deeply transformative.
I appreciate how you made the complex topic of emotional resilience feel accessible and useful. The example of Steve Jobs was inspiring and shows how setbacks can lead to growth
I appreciate how you explained emotional resilience as something we can build over time like a muscle. The science behind it really encourages me to stay consistent with mindful practices
