Great question everyone needs to be themselves we all have cling mechanisms and each one of us must find Balance to focus on post I've. It also depends on the situation. Examples for me are listed to music write things down, find a quote said in the past and surround myself with those who emulate Resilience.

I like to sit in quarterly resilience training classes. So I can learn all about the latest tips from Army master resilience trainers.

To quote Gunny Highway from "Heartbreak Ridge": "Don't give the prick the satisfaction." If I fail at anything, I'll fail because I attempted to do it, not because I was told I couldn't.

If you're referring to the mandatory Resiliency training IMO it's one of the biggest jokes/wastes of money the Army came up with. What is it really? All it is is showing you are life skills that should have been learned/taught growing up.

Self-Discipline; If you surround yourself with negative aspects, your mind will trick you into negative perceptions. You have to have the strength within yourself (not your muscles, not your bones, but your core; your soul) and you have to create the positive, be the positive. This is not done overnight, it's done through a lot of trial and error. Once you're able to establish your baseline, work yourself to achieve more and higher than anyone else.

You also have to know that if you fall down or fail, it's never the end. You keep pushing, persevering and proving everyone that you can do it.
