You can build resilience by challenging yourself, that is putting yourself in positions that are uncomfortable. Pushing yourself harder. You cannot “anticipate” difficulty along the way. The difficulties are meant to shape you. If you don’t go through them, you’ll remain the same. It’s like working out: Adding weights is painful to your body but through that process growth is achieved.
College, as my Professor always says, is the place you learn. You’re learning now but your perspective will change as you grow older.

Strategies for building resilience and overcoming setbacks and difficulties are critical to success as a college student. Here I share some strategies based on research and expert recommendations: Resilience Strategies: Identification of Feelings and Empathy: Recognizing your own emotions and developing empathy for others can help you handle difficult situations.
Emotional Control: Learning to regulate intense or difficult emotions is key to staying calm under pressure.
Relaxation Techniques: Practicing relaxation and mindfulness can reduce stress and improve concentration.
Social Support: Seeking support from friends, family, or mentors can provide an emotional safety net.
Positive Reevaluation: Transform negative thoughts into positive ones and see challenges as learning opportunities.
Anticipation of Setbacks: Planning and Organization: Establish a clear study plan and use organizational tools to avoid procrastination and stress.
Time Management: Prioritize tasks and establish realistic schedules to balance study, rest and personal activities.
Study Skills: Develop effective study techniques, such as summarizing information and participating in study groups.
Stress Management: Practice stress management techniques, such as deep breathing and meditation.
Self-awareness: Recognize your achievements and value your abilities to strengthen self-esteem and self-confidence.
Remember that resilience is not an innate quality, but rather a skill that can be developed and strengthened over time and practice. When facing challenges, it is important to remember that every setback is an opportunity to learn and grow. Maintain a positive attitude and don't hesitate to seek help when you need it.
