Abstract
Developing resilience to pressure is a life skill that everyone needs. Everyone has pressure; pressure that will almost certainly increase greatly from time to time in life. Everyone has frustration, sadness, anger, fear, grief, or pain that needs to be dealt with in order to bounce back to full capacity, energy, and glory. This chapter will define resilience for the purpose of discussion (bearing in mind that it might mean different things to different people), set out some simple steps for building resilience, and suggest a wide range of practical actions that can be used by even the busiest and most pressured individuals.
