TIPS FOR BUILDING RESILIENCE

Here are some gentle, realistic ways to support your resilience and wellbeing:

 1. Practice Self-Awareness

Check in with yourself regularly—emotionally, physically, and mentally. Journaling or using WRAP® Wellness Tools can help you notice patterns and recognise what supports you.

 2. Create a Daily Anchor

A small habit like a morning stretch, a cup of tea, or 5 minutes of quiet time can give you a sense of steadiness, even on difficult days.

 3. Stay Connected

Reach out to others—friends, family, or even a Peer Support Group. Human connection is one of the strongest protectors of mental health.

4. Talk Kindly to Yourself

Try replacing critical inner dialogue with gentler, more compassionate thoughts. It's okay to struggle. Speak to yourself as you would a friend.

 5. Focus on What You Can Control

Let go of what’s outside your power. Focus on small, manageable actions that you can do each day.

 6. Have a Personal Wellness Toolbox 

Include activities, reminders, coping skills, and supports that help you feel more grounded when life gets stressful. (WRAP® is a great place to start!)
 

 Resilience Looks Different for Everyone

Some days you'll feel strong and capable. Other days you may feel like you're just getting through. That’s okay. Resilience is built in the quiet choices we make each day to care for ourselves, ask for help, and not give up—even when it’s hard.

If you're not feeling resilient right now, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re human. And it’s never too late to begin rebuilding your strength.
