Medical Expert Claims Resilience Can Be Built Like a Muscle

If You’re Feeling Uncertain & Stressed, You Need to Hear This
What was said
"Resilience is a skill. It is something that is not just fixed. You either have it or you don't. It is something that you can absolutely strengthen and build. Just like a muscle."
Dr. Narula challenges the common misconception that resilience is an innate, fixed trait, presenting psychological research showing it can be actively developed through specific practices. This reframing has major implications for how people approach adversity and trauma recovery. Rather than feeling helpless in the face of stress, individuals can take concrete steps to strengthen their capacity to handle life's challenges.
