Resilience \u201cis not the exception to the rule, it is the rule,\u201d said Angela Duckworth, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and researcher on resilience and grit. With all that is happening in the world, post-traumatic stress is one possible outcome. But we also have the potential for post-traumatic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Gritty and resilient students, the thinking goes, know how to persevere through life\u2019s inevitable stressors. They know how to halt the negative thoughts that can spiral into a crisis. They\u2019re more likely to stay on track, academically and psychologically.<\/p>\n<p>Grit and resilience have become especially salient ideas as colleges try to respond to students\u2019 mental-health troubles, which were already skyrocketing before the pandemic. In some ways, the COVID-19 era seems like exactly the right time to educate students on how to manage the intense sadness, isolation, and anxiety they may be feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Resilience is the ability to bounce back from stressful circumstances. It is one of the most important qualities that a physician can have and today\u2019s medical students are developing their resilience in tandem with their learning of medical knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Although stress can have negative effects, research shows that even severe stress can make you stronger\u2014if you adopt the right mindset. How do you do that?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, acknowledge your stress. This means neither catastrophizing nor downplaying the stress as it impacts you personally.<\/li>\n<li>Second, own your stress. Welcome what you\u2019re feeling to help you connect it to your values: you feel stressed because it relates to something deeply important to you.<\/li>\n<li>Third, use your stress. Channel your time and energy into tasks that are aligned with your values.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0stress about stress. Denying it or worrying about its negative effects is counterproductive. <em>Do<\/em>\u00a0adopt a \u201cstress-is-enhancing\u201d mindset and help the people in your life to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Our medical students will need to adopt a resilient mind-set: Do not be upset about the things you can\u2019t change.\u00a0 Grit and resilience are not personality traits; they are developed with practice. People who flourish are not less afraid, worried, or upset about what\u2019s going on around them. They have just worked at holding these emotions and thoughts in a healthy manner. Grit and resilience are worthy goals, not only do students have to absorb the shock of displacement from campus lives, but they have to turn it into a saga of triumph and growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, \u201cresilience\u201d and its companion concept \u201cgrit\u201d have become buzzwords in higher education.
