Resilience
how to be mentally tough
Resilience is the capacity to maintain function during adversity and recover afterwards. It is built rather than born, primarily through repeated exposure to manageable difficulty followed by genuine recovery — neither strain alone nor rest alone produces it.
What to do about it
Load, then recover deliberately. Skipping the recovery is how strain becomes damage.
