Signs of Wellbeing

Building Resilience and Mental Wellbeing – A Regular Regime Required.

When working with some of my clients around building resilience and mental wellbeing I have often been asked the question “how do I fix or change that?”. And usually my response tends to be that “there is no quick fix to building mental wellbeing and resilience”.

Mental wellbeing is the state where you are able to say, hand on heart, “you know what, I am doing ok”, while resilience is about the actions and experience you have day-to-day and the things you do to help support yourself and maintain your wellbeing state given those daily experiences.

There are different things that can be done to step into building resilience and mental wellbeing. Accepting a commitment to a daily practice of strategies and techniques to build each of these things is key.

First, begin to understand that it takes time and continuous effort and application. I have often said it’s about being patient and persistent - keep chipping away at what you want to be different or better. Recognise that this practice does require your time and attention.
