Pillars of Resilience

Resilience is defined as how one "deals effectively with pressure, ambiguous and emerging conditions, and multiple tasks; remains optimistic and persistent, even under adversity or uncertainty. Recovers quickly from setbacks. Anticipates changes and learns from mistakes."

Resilience is the ability to function really well in the face of adversity. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) resilience model has four pillars: mental, physical, social, and spiritual. Balancing these four components helps strengthen your life.
