Remember: to err is human. Mistakes happen to the best of us. What matters is what you do next. Own your actions but don’t let any one moment define you. As Zig Ziglar once said: “Failure is an event, not a person.” Following this advice means viewing missteps as learning opportunities. Learn what you can from the experience and then move forward.

Look the part. Take pride in your appearance. Everybody feels better about themselves when they look like a million bucks. Dressing well will help you project confidence by setting the right impression. Getting enough sleep, eating right and making time for leisure or physical activity are important to tackling your workday with vigor and confidence.

Shift your perception. When stressed and caught up in the daily grind, it’s easy to focus on where you are falling short. Resilient individuals accept that things can go wrong. Rather than perceive setbacks as a reflection of your inability to get the job done, use them to learn how to avoid pitfalls in the future.

Balance work and play. In times of change, many of us focus solely on holding our own world together. Stopping to chat momentarily with a colleague or taking the time to share a compliment from a peer or client may seem like a waste of time. It’s not. Investing time in your colleagues will not only make the day-to-day more enjoyable but it will also give you relational currency which will come in handy in times of adversity.

Keep your eye on the prize. It’s easy to focus your energy on completing small tasks when you’re overwhelmed by big ones. Unfortunately, it is more difficult to feel a sense of accomplishment when you’ve spent your day putting out little fires rather than tackling larger initiatives. Resilient individuals revisit their goals and objectives on a regular basis, ensuring that their efforts pay off.
