1 Understand resilience

Resilience is not a fixed trait that you either have or don't have. It's a dynamic process that involves adapting to adversity and learning from it. Resilience is influenced by many factors, such as your personality, beliefs, values, skills, relationships, and environment. You can enhance your resilience by cultivating positive habits, attitudes, and behaviors that support your well-being and growth.

2 Identify your strengths

One way to boost your resilience is to identify and leverage your strengths. Strengths are the qualities and abilities that you excel at and enjoy using. They can help you overcome challenges, achieve your goals, and express your values. To discover your strengths, you can use various tools, such as the VIA Character Strengths Survey or the CliftonStrengths Assessment. You can also ask for feedback from your colleagues, mentors, or students. Once you know your strengths, you can apply them to your work and personal life in creative and meaningful ways.

How to measure you're becoming resilient? Simple, the moment you reveal/identifying your inner strength. a. Open to feedback - Find your mentors and ask continuous feedback b. At peak of your productive, pay attention to yourself and your emotions c. Retro yourself how far you have come, not how long you have to go d. Journal the emotions when you are feeling optimist and high in energy e. Reach out to your first circle of network, to reveal the unknown about you. f. Do the Johari window with your mentor / coach/ team members an effective tool to get so much information about you.

3 Manage your emotions

Another key aspect of resilience is emotional regulation, which is the ability to manage your emotions in constructive ways. Emotions are natural and inevitable, but they can also interfere with your rational thinking and decision making. To regulate your emotions, you need to be aware of them, acknowledge them, and express them appropriately. You can use various strategies, such as breathing exercises, mindfulness, journaling, or talking to someone you trust. You can also reframe your emotions by changing your perspective or finding the silver lining.

This is such an important point right now. It seems that many faculty are struggling to find the same level of patience & collegiality as before. Offices are empty, courses are moving into hybrid models, & service is a low priority. We must find a balance between life & work that supports our mission of teaching, research, & service without sacrificing quality & sanity. To help with this, senior faculty can reach out to newer faculty who have joined the academy in the last three years. These new faculty have yet to have a normal year. Newer faculty can reach out to more senior faculty for ideas and mentoring. Administration can provide support and resources for success. We are in one of the greatest professions, & it is time we remember.

4 Build your support network

Resilience is not a solo endeavor. It's also influenced by the quality and quantity of your social support. Social support is the emotional, practical, or informational help that you receive from others. It can buffer you from stress, enhance your well-being, and foster a sense of belonging and purpose. To build your support network, you need to reach out to your colleagues, friends, family, or professional associations. You can also offer your support to others, as giving can also boost your resilience.

5 Practice self-care

Finally, resilience requires self-care, which is the act of taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. Self-care is not selfish or indulgent. It's essential for your well-being and productivity. Self-care can include various activities, such as getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, meditating, or pursuing your hobbies. You can also set healthy boundaries, say no to unrealistic expectations, and delegate or outsource tasks when possible. By practicing self-care, you can replenish your energy, prevent burnout, and enhance your resilience.

When coaching new faculty (and just about any new professional), I always start with time management. Specifically, I encourage my mentees to set aside 1-hour each workday for email and another hour for lunch. Scheduling time for email can have a positive impact on your mental well-being. The trick is ignoring your inbox for the rest of the day. But when accomplished, this strategy will reduce stress and allow you to focus on other tasks without worrying about email. It also helps you avoid the temptation of checking your email constantly throughout the day, which can be distracting and lead to burnout. Also, stick to your hour lunch time every day. That time is yours to eat, think, read, chat, walk… do whatever recharges your energy.
