Here are some of her top tips.
Build Connections
Good relationships with family, friends and community builds resilience. Being active with organisations that are meaningful to you not only provides social support but helping others will also be of benefit to you.
Move toward your goals
Develop realistic goals and do something regularly to move toward them no matter how small.
Nurture a positive view of yourself
Developing confidence in your ability to solve problems and trusting your instincts helps build resilience.
Keep things in perspective
Even when facing very difficult events, try to consider the situation in a broader context and with as much emotional detachment as possible.
Maintain a hopeful outlook
An optimistic outlook enables you to expect that good things will happen in your life. Try visualising what you want, rather than worrying about what you fear.
Take care of yourself
Pay attention to your own needs and feelings. Engage in activities that you enjoy and find relaxing. Taking care of yourself helps to keep your mind and body in shape to deal with situations that require resilience.
