BOOST YOUR RESILIENCE
The long health crisis that we’re living through is putting our mental health to the test. Many of us are suffering from tiredness, anxiety,
a drop in morale or motivation, or a feeling of isolation due to the prolonged restrictions on our lives.
This period is placing a major, daily burden on our adaptability skills and testing our resilience. We can define resilience as the capacity
to recover and rebuild our lives by adopting a positive attitude in the face of adversity. Resilience implies positive adaptation and
transformation: we don’t emerge from the situation the same as when we entered it.
We can develop resilience at any time in our lives. The CERN Medical Service psychologists recommend four
techniques we can use to kick-start this process, starting now:
WORK ON YOUR SELF-EFFICACY AND DEVELOP YOUR FEELING OF GET TO KNOW YOURSELF BETTER
GRATITUDE How do you normally react to stress? How can you regulate your

days, without repeating the same thing: score more than 8 several times in a row. Although the usual
tools we have to make ourselves feel better are restricted at the
moment, we can use this opportunity to unleash our creativity:

• something nice that someone did for you that day;
• something nice that you did for someone else.
FOSTER COMMUNITY SPIRIT AND SOLIDARITY
In this way, we learn to focus our attention on gratitude and What has improved? What do we want to keep from this

these questions because the crisis might also bring positive
developments that it’s important to identify.

Take a situation that’s worrying you, such as your health during
the COVID-19 pandemic. Imagine three circles. The first circle
contains the things that are entirely in your control (e.g. what

measures, you can ask them to do so and thereby bring about
a change in behaviour). The third circle contains the things https://hse.cern/content/psychologist
that you can’t influence directly (e.g. government decisions to
extend or lift the lockdown, restrictions, etc.). Sort the situations
that are worrying you at the moment into these three circles.
Focusing on your areas of influence will help you cope with
uncertainty.
